Westside Auto Pad


Location Type: Purpose-built auto pad in open terrain
Setting: Expansive field with unobstructed mountain and rolling-hill backdrop

The Westside Auto Pad offers a controlled, production-ready surface set within a wide-open landscape, ideal for automotive filming and exterior scenes requiring scale, isolation, and clean sightlines. Surrounded by natural terrain and distant hills, the location reads as remote and period-neutral while maintaining practical access for crews and camera vehicles.



Production Value


• Clean, paved surface suitable for hero vehicle shots
• 360° sightlines with minimal visual interruption
• Scenic hills and open sky provide strong natural depth
• Easily frames as desert, rural West, or remote testing ground



Ideal Uses


• Automotive commercials and brand films
• Feature film exterior driving scenes
• Performance testing visuals
• Insert shots, beauty passes, and controlled motion work



Access & Logistics


• Direct vehicle access for production and camera cars
• Space for staging, turnaround, and support vehicles
• Low ambient noise and minimal modern intrusion
• Flexible scheduling with controlled access

Why Scouts Like It


The Westside Auto Pad combines visual scale with logistical simplicity-a rare balance for automotive and exterior-heavy shoots. Productions gain a cinematic backdrop without sacrificing efficiency, making it an effective solution for tight schedules and repeatable setups.
