You probably don`t know it, but you want a shape shifting electric car.
Not that you or anyone else for that matter, can get one, but they`re still awesome. Let`s take the Blackbird for example. It`s an electronic state of the art vehicle that has a lot of gadgets and doo-hickeys on it that will help the CGI people design literally anything around it. Also, it`s loaded with a ton of cameras recording in every direction, so it is now possible to record how shadows would look in the car, how the surroundings would look, and all packed neatly into a full 360 degree image.
If that`s not enough, just imagine – this car can literally be your speedsters dream, the Batmobile or even just a regular Honda Civic.
Of course, we know that a car in any movie can be as important as any actor, which is why getting everything is a huge priority.
This is probably the reason why they pay those CGI guys so much, and if you look at some of their work you`ll realize – it`s nowhere near enough! Even this presentation video is so well made that you actually doubt whether that`s a real car or the shape shifting electric car in that video.
However, they reveal it soon enough – it is in fact, the Blackbird, and they remove layer by layer in CGI so that in the end you just see the tiny little vehicle with its driver in front, under all of those computer effects.
This thing seems so awesome and as I said in the beginning, you might not know it, but you definitely want one now!
