Formula E - Season 10.

The Berry teamed up with their friends at Formula E to create the ultimate opening titles for their globally televised, broadcast (and digital) show. This action-packed, photo-real CG film was directed by The Berry Boys & Andy Daly and created by the super-talented, in-house crew at The Berry.

The Berry team worked hard to create photo-realistic CGI racing animations, that not only cinematically showcased the new Gen 3 race car, but also visualised the iconic city locations from FE's exciting race calendar.

A VFX green screen shoot in Valencia (During FE pre-season testing) provided a large selection of heroic driver assets.

The Berry's VFX and motion graphics team strategically placed the drivers throughout the MGFX scenes of the film… breaking up the CGI racing whilst also highlighting the drivers as the stars of the sport.

Working with a 3D CAD model of the Gen 3 race car, The Berry was able to use this as a great starting point to completely rework the car for CG animation. This involved rigging the car (making it drivable) and recreating the car's livery to include unique artwork and sponsors. All textures including metal, plastic, carbon fibre and other surface details were also meticulously recreated and applied to the final model, to ensure a photo-realistic final result.

The CGI environments were meticulously crafted, with race track circuit elements developed entirely from scratch. Meanwhile, supplementary background elements such as trees and buildings were integrated using a combination of 3D software plugins and pre-existing 3D model packages. Each scene was created in Cinema4D and brought to life through final rendering with Redshift.
