The 8 minute short film shows the end of the world from a racers' perspective and shows that racers can't burn rubber forever...
An unknown virus goes airborne and wrecks havoc on society. A once street racer named 'Rachel' shows a temporary immunity to the virus and spends her final hours on the road. She heads down memory lane and relives a special event from her past for the very last time.
It is said by some viewers; her story becomes very emotional and brings the film to life.
It was created using the Sony PlayStation 4 exclusive by Evolution Studios 'DRIVECLUB'. The game itself has many features one will find useful for gameplay videos and short videos aswell as stunning visuals and overall performance.
'The Last Ride' was created using a mixture of 2 major features both brought to the players as a request in an update (Photo Mode & Replay Mode).
Replay Mode came in handy not just for the recordings, but for the camera angles you could choose and flick through.
Photo Mode was used to capture scenes such as the Canadian Landscape and Cityscape.
To create the video with the film-style effect, Sony Computer Entertainment released a FREE piece of kit called 'SHAREfactory' and is frequently updated with new features and visuals. SHAREfactory is helpful for editing gameplay recordings of up to 30 minutes in length.
'SHAREfactory' offers a wide variety of effects, text fonts, stickers and other add-ons which help toward other forms of creativity.
'The Last Ride' was made using Custom Transitions, Filters and Professional Layering (Aspect 2:40:1).
