One of a series of three, we photographed the full size racing car in a London car studio using a film dolly to track our 10x8 camera along the side of the stationary car while Dusan (my assistant) turned the rear tyre. This foreground was then combined with a table top model of the cars, race track and star painting (also tracked during the camera exposure). The movement blur was recorded on film in much the same was that it appears above but we did use the Imaginator to re-enforce the movement lines in post production. 10x8 Ektachrome poster and press, South East Asia.
