Second Car Chase Test

After the first car chase test I spoke to Julian, our stop motion technician and he thinks it will be easier and quicker to make a few sections of the ring and keep swapping them over ans we animate to give the illusion of a full disk and then a much smaller miniature for the wider shots of the whole circus. Below is what this test looks like from the close ups of the car.

I am happy with how this looks and can easily see it working for real in stop motion. Although it does loop quite quickly because it was done with three sections that were each an eighth of the full circle.

Above is what this looks like from above, here you can see the three sections being moved back to the start just below the camera once they get out of sight. Here you can also see where the camera would be, moving the camera in this set will also be a lot easier than before because the over all size has been reduces massively.
