A car that fits the leading role

For the series Amsterdam Empire, Netflix was looking for a vehicle that perfectly matched the character “Betty”, played by Famke Janssen: wealthy, influential and accustomed to luxury. The car had to be stylish and unmistakably chic; an extension of her personality on screen.

After several presentations and consultations, the choice fell on our flagship: the long-wheelbase Mercedes-Benz S-Class. A car that not only exudes luxury, but also offers ultimate tranquility and comfort.

More than just a car

  • Vehicle casting. Multiple presentations until there was a perfect match: the long-wheelbase Mercedes-Benz S-Class as an extension of the character.

  • Chauffeur in shot. A permanent employee selected for representativeness and professionalism, also visible on camera during filming.

  • 4 vehicles deployed. S-Class, Range Rover, E-Class and BMW 7 Series for different scenes and production moments.

  • Flexible schedule. Daytime, evening and night. Planning that continuously adapts to changes in the shooting schedule.

From casting to wrap

Flexibility and discretion throughout the entire production.

  1. Vehicle casting and presentation

    Multiple vehicles presented to the production. Based on appearance, comfort, and suitability for the character, the S-Class was selected.

  2. Selection of driver for the camera

    Cautious choice for a fixed person: representative, professional, and comfortable with visibility on camera.

  3. Scaling of the vehicle fleet

    In addition to the S-Class, a Range Rover, E-Class, and BMW 7 Series were deployed for various scenes and production moments.

  4. 30 filming days, continuous switching

    Out of the 80 filming days, we were active for 30. Direct lines with our organization for quick changes in the shooting schedule.

Visible on screen, invisible in the organisation

Discretion, representativeness and flexibility were key. In a world where timing and appearance are everything, we ensured that the vehicle and support became a seamless part of the production.

What started with one vehicle grew into a broader deployment with four cars and a dedicated driver who became part of the production process.

Visible on screen, invisible in the organisation. Just as it should be.
