1936 MERCEDES-BENZ 540K SPECIAL ROADSTER
Original Concept
Although the vehicle was created in the late 1930s, I was greatly inspired by the 1920s aesthetic. Somewhere in the middle of Europe, a gangster's car is parked in the middle of the street, awaiting his rivals and blockading their escape route.
I was responsible for creating the 1936 Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster and was very lucky to have been able to use Nitit Premjaicheun's Bottail Speedster to texture and use as a prop for the background.
COMPOSITING BREAKDOWN
LOOK DEVELOPMENT
While working on this project, I began thinking about what I wanted to accomplish when it came time to do post-processing on the final render. Miguel Ortega, one of my professors at Gnomon, gave me the brilliant idea of adding rain into the scene as a way to give the already moody atmosphere a boost and give the story further life. The animated headlights, rain, as well as bloom to the lights were all added using Nuke.
