I truly do not get how Cy Kuckenbaker did this, but I’m sure it took a decent amount of smarts and elbow grease. In a nutshell, he took some raw traffic footage of vehicles going under an overpass and sorted all the vehicles by color, then time compressed the whole thing. It’s mesmerizing. I love the motorcycles tootling by at the very end.
Amazing reshuffling of traffic footage
That’s a lot of traveling mattes.
At the 30 second mark, there’s a mostly red car amongst the silver. I guess he’s sorting based on hood color. Interesting!
Four motorcycles? Pathetfuckingic.
Zoom in. Every car is driven by Ben Richards.
