PROJECT

A PARTNER FOR THE WHOLE TRIP

Touring Cars came along as a partner on Fraymful’s Nordic Arctic 2026 production trip. The camper van was the production’s base for two weeks, through Lapland and Northern Norway.

We filmed living in the van, the vehicle’s features and our own experience of the trip. At the same time we documented how the van carried both the video production team and the travelling itself, in hard winter conditions and over long legs. The aim was to show what camper-van life makes possible and how Touring Cars was part of making the whole trip happen.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Touring Cars is a camper van rental company founded in 1982, with locations in eight European countries. The Finnish operation is run by TC Vehicle Oy, and its fleet runs from Lapland to Central Europe.

Production

How the film came together.

The two-week trip from Lapland to Northern Norway was documented a day at a time.

Challenge

A big production on the move

01

This was not a normal shoot day on a single subject. A large production was made on the move over two weeks, while other productions were running on the same trip. That meant documenting over a longer stretch, with different activities filmed on different days in slots booked in advance as part of the route.

Living in the van and winter travel had to look the way they were, but the shoot could not be left to chance. We planned every subject carefully with the client in advance, so the whole thing held together in a production that kept moving.

Idea

The van makes the trip possible

02

A camper van is at its most interesting in use. We wanted to show where you stop, how you cook in it, how a night in the van goes and how the long winter legs pass. Camper-van life then opens up to the viewer without anyone having to explain it.

We built the content around the van, because it carried the production team and made the whole trip possible. The main film tells the trip through mood and highlights, while the Reels show single sides of everyday life in the van.

Execution

One main film and five Reels

03

We filmed during the Nordic Arctic 2026 trip from 21 February to 7 March 2026, from Lapland to Northern Norway and back. The main film became a cinematic, emotive travel film of the highlights. Alongside it we cut five Reels on different van subjects, each for its own social use. The shooting slots were booked on separate days and fitted around the other productions.

  • 1 travel film, an emotive cut of the trip.
  • 5 Reels on van subjects (stops, cooking, nights in the van, arrivals).
