Very Drive, Tron and Back To The Future, this animated video by German freelance graphic designer and illustrator Florian Renner. The 1980s are definitely brought back to life in this Cinema 4D made video that serves as a promo for his skills in the field of 3D visualisation. We especially love the fog effect that Renner created with the help of the Turbulence FD plugin. The car he chose is the epitome of vehicular 1980s – the DeLorean DMC-12 – a car with a whole story of its own, thanks to founder John DeLorean who, in a desperate attempt to raise the funds his company needed to survive, was filmed appearing to accept money to take part in drug trafficking, but was subsequently acquitted of charges brought against him on the basis of entrapment.

The DeLorean DMC-12 was later immortalised in the Back To The Future trilogy. In this short, the 3D modeled car crosses a futuristic illuminated city at night. The piece also reminds us of Kavinsky’s ‘Protovision‘ and the soundtrack – in form of ‘Nightcall’ – he delivered for the 2011 feature film Drive starring Ryan Gosling. In Florian Renner’s promo video, the driver’s identity remains a secret while the camera focuses on the car’s digital cockpit display and the majestic surrounding buildings.
