It’s been a LONG time since I posted any work-in-progress shots from a project, so here goes! I’ve been working on a new template for VideoHive that incorporates slow, detailed close-ups of fast cars with silvery 3D text.

I think most people don’t even realize how involved these things are, not to mention the team of talented people it takes to run them! Anyway, I thought it would be fun to build the basic parts of a JumboTron and a stadium and see if I could bring them to life....
