Why I made it

One 19-shot blocking video, two opposite universes. The film was blocked once and shot twice: once in a burning rain-soaked city, once on a sunny alpine pass. Same camera moves, zero re-blocking.

What's on the page

  • A five-step making-of, from the blocking pass and the 720-frame master to the final edit
  • Both takes, Rain & Fire and The Alps, each with a synced block-versus-final player
  • Reference sheets for each take's car, driver and world
  • A production sheet: 19 shots and 720 previz frames
