On April 15th, FOX presents an exciting new television show "Drive" featuring extensive visual effects by Zoic Studios.
"Drive" is an action-fueled drama following a diverse group of Americans driving for their lives (or the lives of their loved ones) in a sinister, cross-country road race.
Some of them have been coerced into joining The Race; others have sought out The Race themselves, hearing rumors of the $32-million prize.
Each has a reason to compete. And each must win.
The pilot features a one-minute opening sequence set in this car race, which moves seamlessly from the open highway into around and through six cars and a motorcycle, leading the audience to the leader and star Nathan Fillion at the front.
It combines live action stunt photography, a 220 degree matching highway psyclorama, green screen stage work, CG cars, reflections, and characters.
The result is a seamless experience in race photography, which is seen through the eyes of an omniscient camera whose lens is not bound by physics or structure.
This sequence was made possible through extensive pre-visualization and planning as led by Zoic Studios' Creative Director Loni Peristere.
