Fox Sports Design

A striking new promo for Nascar on Fox marks another creative collaboration between FOX SPORTS in-house
creative team and French animation house BUF. Combining high resolution photography with CGI cars, Fox Sports
and BUF have created a manic road race across America where Nascar’s most famous cars are seen racing at
incredible speeds and performing impossible stunts as they make their way over, under, around, and on top of
American landmarks such as Times Square, Hoover Dam, the St.Louis Arch, and the Las Vegas Strip. By paying
meticulous and careful attention to the style of the car animation, using hyper-exaggerated weight distribution and
realistic camera shakes and vibration, the creatives at FOX SPORTS and BUF have created a visually stunning
take on Nascar.

The package, including a full :60 sec graphically animated promo spot as well as a “toolkit” of animated elements which
can be integrated with live action footage, is beautifully and dramatically unique in its use of photo realism and CG animation.
It was created for FOX Sports and the NASCAR 2006 race season.
