This is a story about a Joyrider who makes it his mission to find the rarest cars on the planet and then drive them to the extreme. The film opens up in Barcelona Spain, where our Joyrider receives coordinates to a yellow Ferrari 488 GTB, one of the only turbo based Ferraris that exist in the world. The Joyrider locates the car inside a secret paddock at a near by F1 race circuit. Undetected the Joyrider takes the Ferrari and drives it like no one has ever seen before in and around the racetrack while a guard is asleep listening to classical music. The Ferrari exits the track beneath the security gate arm and heads towards the streets of Barcelona where it drifts and shoots blue flames around tight turns, roundabouts and straightaways before making its grand exit sideways through a tunnel at over 200 kmph in 5th gear.
The sound design for this short film needed to convey one thing: emotion. The emotion felt of driving a $350k car at high speed through a city. For this we recorded the car, the 1st turbo based Ferrari in years, and created hundreds of sound design elements like processed thunders, baby cries, tearing sheets etc. which add emotional touches to the experience without ever becoming overbearing. This makes the listener connect in grounded, yet imaginative ways. The sound design was finished with a super aggressive mix to make the viewer engulfed in a car audio symphony.
