Production Blog- Acquiring the Goodies

 A street racing film wouldn’t be complete without the right cars. The vehicles we choose will bring personality to each race and help tell the story of our main character’s growth. Finding the right cars wasn’t easy, but we made sure to pick ones that fit the look and feel of real underground racing. We wanted a mix of speed, style, and realism to make every scene feel authentic.

For the young racer, we won’t be using a real car just yet. Instead, we’re borrowing my friend’s racing simulator, which will show the character’s first experience behind the wheel. This setup works perfectly because it represents his early dreams and passion for racing before he ever gets on the streets. For the teen racer, we’re going all out with real street racing action. My close friend’s Mustang will go head-to-head with another friend’s Dodge Daytona Charger, setting up an intense and visually exciting race. These cars are fast, stylish, and exactly what we need to capture the underground racing vibe.

For the adult racer, we want to showcase real high-performance machines. Ideally, we’ll have a Lamborghini and a Ferrari, symbolizing that the racer has reached the top. If those aren’t available, we’ll use two Corvettes, which still bring the same energy and prestige. Luckily, I have friends in the rental business who can give me an amazing deal or even let us use them for free since our filming won’t take long. This access to high-end cars will make the final race feel like a true championship moment.

Now that we have our lineup, the next step is planning how to film the race scenes. We are working on mounting cameras on the cars and mapping out the best driving routes. With the cars secured, everything is starting to feel real. Next up, we focus on stunts and filming logistics to bring the action to life. Stay tuned for more updates as we shift into high gear!
