Lucas Drobnitzky\u2019s <\/a>Out for a Ride on Instagram and it stopped us in our tracks with a screech and a lurch. Full of speed and color, his paper-cutout and car model \u201csketch\u201d might leave you a little car sick\u2014it moves!<\/p>\n\u201cI came up with the concept as soon as I found the tiny Mini Cooper toy car in an old box at home,\u201d Drobnitzky told us. \u201cI had wanted to start exploring more dynamic animations for a while now, so a fast paced car pursuit felt perfect for the occasion.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy initial idea was to keep the car within the pages of the notebook and have office supplies dart across the pages to give the illusion of speed. But I wanted to incorporate more movement, panning and zooming the camera in the actual shoot instead of adding the movements in post-production. So I decided to make the car leap and rip out of the notebook and on to the desk allowing me to introduce shots from different angles.\u201d<\/p>\n
Paired with some hyper-realistic car chase audio, the piece gets your heart pumping.<\/p>\n
\u201cI decided not to mount the camera on a tripod for the last shot following the car from behind,\u201d he continued, \u201cinstead I held the camera in my left hand while I moved the car with my right. This added some shakiness to the sequence and infused it with more energy.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn order to rig the car and keep it in place as it leaps into the air or almost flips as it turns, I used blue-tack and the incredible Riggs from Kinetic Armatures, which then have to be painstakingly removed on each frame in photoshop.\u201d<\/p>\n
