Song: Hate to Say I Told You So - The Hives

Forecast says it's gonna be dusty with a chance of motor storms!

Hello my friends, tis been a while. Want me to summarize the last year in a single sentence?

I thought I'd recover from my troubles faster than this but life is a delight of surprises.

This video however was a surprise in that it actually finally happened. As a youngin' I always loved speed in movies and video games, notably need for speed hot pursuit 2, MX vs ATV and if you are around my age and have eyes, you may have noticed the influence from Motorstorm. I've been trying to make some kind of high octane race animation for the last 12-13 years but I never made the time to do it.

So I challenged myself to finally pick myself up and set aside 2 weeks and made this! I won't lie, it was hard and I lost a lot of sleep but part of me really missed the feeling of rolling out of bed and straight into my computer where I would stay for the next 15 hours, not wasting a single second.
Everything except the 3D scans were made by me in the span of about 7 days, leaving me with roughly 4 days to animate the whole thing and do post effects and sound design.

I have a lot more ideas planned for my channel moving forward, yes I planned on this "comeback" in January but c'est la sh*t happens.

Stick around and we'll both find out what comes next!

Check out my Patreon after this, I'm planning on uploading a version of this video without the music so you can hear all my sound design that got drowned out!
