Full Transcript

I'm shooting a car chase scene and I want to preview it before I shoot it. Let's open runway and get started. This is my shot list. This is my car. This is my location. Actually, it should be night and raining. Good. Let's create a storyboard for the first shot. Now, do the rest. Let's make the first image photo real and change a red car to a Mustang or maybe a [music] motorcycle. What about a hot dog truck or a T-Rex? Okay, too far. Let's just do a white stand. Perfect. Now, let's create the rest of the frames and animate them so I can see how it'll all cut together. And that's how you preview [music] your next shoot with runway.
