Comment 'Tutorial' to learn this! 🚀 For this reel I got the chance transform a G Wagon into a Porsche GT3 RS. (Such a satisfying project) I used a 3D model of myself, animated it and brought it into Blender. I used motion capturing and Adobes Mixamo to easily add an animation to my model. That made the transition super smooth. Everything was brought together in AfterEffects and the sound design was done in PremierePro. Big shoutout to @myleocrossfit for the crazy location! ❤️ Thanks to @christo.dontchev for filming! 🎥 The legend @timelapseworlds did the sound design for this 🔊 Do you want to see a BTS of this reel? 💬
