Imagine a car race through the streets of Los Angeles where the directions of the course are set dynamically through an on-board GPS. Director, Justin Lin, asked us to design a virtual GPS that both communicated this story line while projecting the audience into this world and onto the streets maintaining the aggressive visual aesthetic of an epic car chase sequence. By interlacing the virtual architecture with nested code structures, we were able to develop a city that dynamically reacted to the cars as they raced through the virtual landscape. By allowing the code to drive these complex interactions, we were able to spend more time designing the camera moves necessary to elevate the already aggressive sequence.
