The Human Race, Chevrolet

Chevrolet, Epic Games, The Mill and Apollo Studios joined forces to revolutionize the conventions of digital filmmaking with 'The Human Race,' a short film that debuted at GDC 2017.

Combining an advanced implementation of Epic’s Unreal Engine with The Mill’s proprietary virtual production toolkit, Mill Cyclops, “The Human Race” merges real-time visual effects and live-action storytelling. The combined technologies were pushed beyond the limits of existing real-time rendering capabilities to produce a futuristic film that features the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in a heated race with the Chevrolet FNR autonomous concept car.

Apollo Studios created Interactive Sound Design that reacted in real time to the switch of cars. A challenging work to create seamless transitions between old, current and futuristic models of Chevrolet's iconic Camaro.
