PURPOSE.

Nick, thanks for reaching out. The Corvette shot at 0:04 is a full 3D shot, and the first thing I need from you is the exact car. Your animatic uses a stand-in with a rear wing, so the model and year are still open.

Section 2 puts six Corvettes side by side: a photo of the real car next to the production 3D model I would start from. Every model shown is licensed for commercial use. Section 3 does the same for the police cars in the roadblock. Fill in the list in 1.3 and send it back.

WHY IT HAS TO BE DECIDED NOW.

The car drives the whole shot: the model, the drift animation, the lighting and the roadblock layout all follow from it. With the trailer locking on Sunday 15 November, changing the car after I start would cost days we do not have.

Two things to check on your side:

• Brand clearance. Showing a real, badged Corvette can need clearance from Chevrolet. If that is not cleared, I can remove the badges and logos, as most game trailers do. Let me know which way to go.
• Matching your footage. If the speedo, pedal or driver inserts are shot in a real car, tell me which one. The 3D car should be the same model, year and colour so the cut holds together.

YOUR REPLY.

One line each is enough.

Left: the real car. Right: the 3D model it would start from, in the seller's own preview render. Paint, wheels and wing are set in my look pass, so judge the body shape, not the colour. Where two models are shown, either works.

POLICE VEHICLES.

The roadblock cars are on screen briefly and read mostly as shapes and light bars, so they matter less than the hero car. If you have no preference I will use a mix of current US patrol vehicles in a generic livery. A real city or department name on the doors is your call; generic is the default.
