Thanks!
Well, I didn’t work on it during those 3 years, I started working on it in 2020 and then had to put it on hold due to lack of time, and then only recently I went back to it. So in total, I worked on it for like 2-3 months in my free time.
As to what inspired it, I was playing Forza Horizon with my friend and I thought it’d be fun to make an animation where two pals race each other around the city, just like we did in Forza.
Then I stumbled upon that song that you can hear in the film, and as I was listening to it I had a feeling it would be fun to make a car animation edited to it.
So that and also childhood memories from playing the old Need for Speed games, Underground, Carbon, Most Wanted etc. which kind of shaped the idea, theme and style of this short film.
I’m hoping to make this into a series of short films that would end up having a similar story to some of the NFS games.
