FORZA HORIZON: STREET RACE INTROS

During the Production of Forza Horizon, I was asked to oversee the Street Races and the PR Photo Stunts. My work included the opening cinematics for the Street Race & Photo events and the closing race line cameras.

All of the characters and camera positions had to be placed manually with a limit of 10 characters per scene. The positions of the characters had to be changed via XML code as did the Camera Position. Eventually this work was simplified by creating a set camera loop for each race. This allowed the characters to be placed with greater expediency and gave me a greater opportunity to be more creative with the character interactions.

There are 30 Street Races with 3 camera changes for each race. There are also 5 PR Photo Stunts with their own introductions and ending transitions.

Overall it was very fast and tricky work, but the finished videos are authentic and entertaining.
