ENGLISH SYNOPSIS :

WITH THE “86”, LOVED BY DRIVING ENTHUSIASTS GLOBALLY, WE CHALLENGED IN USING FILMING TECHNIQUES THAT WAS IMPOSSIBLE IN THE PAST, TO EXPRESS THE NEW FR SPORTS CARS OF THIS ERA.
THE THEME IS “DRIFT MEETS DRONE.”
THE SHOOT WAS A COMPETITION THAT PURSUED THE CENTIMETER UNIT AND THE SPLIT-SECOND TIMING WITH THE HUMAN SKILLS OF "MANEUVERING".
DRONE TEAM FROM AROUND THE WORLD JOINED AND SUPPORTED THIS WORLD’S FIRST DIFFICULT DRONE SHOOT PROJECT.
THE DRONE CAPTURES THE MOMENT WHEN THE PROFESSIONAL DRIVER ALIGNS ALL THREE CARS AT HIGH SPEED, TAKES A CLOSE-UP SHOT OF THE INTENSITY AT THE LAST MINUTE, AND DIVES INTO THE DRIFTING DRIVER'S SEAT IN ONE SHOT.
TO MAKE THE INTENSITY LOOK REALISTIC, WE FILMED EVERYTHING INSTEAD OF USING CG. THE PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS AND THE DRONE PILOT HAD PREPARED FOR OVER THREE MONTHS AND SHOT COUNTLESS TAKES TO ACCOMPLISH THIS PROJECT.
