The Human Race is an interactive short film created in partnership with Epic Games and Chevrolet, and debuted at GDC 2017.  Combining live action cinema with the interactivity of the Unreal Game Engine, this is the world's first Game Engine/Live Action cinema hybrid. All the cars and VFX are created in real time, computed every 42 milliseconds. Nothing is prerendered.

Blurring the lines between production and post, The Human Race merges real-time visual effects and live-action storytelling to push beyond the limits of existing real-time rendering capabilities.  The result is a futuristic film that features the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in a heated race with the Chevrolet FNR autonomous concept car; a battle between the worlds best human driver and the worlds best AI.
