GoPro has teamed up with pickup truck manufacturers Toyota to create a series of videos to show you how to use your action camera for dramatic car photography. Presented by professional cameraman Sam Werkmeister, the films show off different techniques and GoPro accessories while filming off-road, on the water and setting up a time-lapse video of the new Hilux Invincible in a clifftop setting at sunset.

Werkmeister has worked with GoPro for the last five years, specializing in motorsport film production. His experience includes filming the PWA windsurfing world tour, the Olympics, and ocean racing, so he knows the tricks of the trade for capturing great footage in dynamic settings.
