The film tells the story of Frederick James Walker, who rode on a royal Enfield bike in the 1914 Isle of Man TT races. The details of the 1914 Royal Enfield bike used are all showcased in this piece, from its famous twin engine and glass oil bottle. We had a great time researching and executing this piece. The film's visuals are charcoal aesthetic, which resonated with the graininess of film back in the day.

For this project, I delved into the history of the Isle of Man races, meticulously researching how Royal Enfield bikes were crafted in the past. The research laid the groundwork for crafting the film's storyboard, ensuring historical accuracy and authenticity.

Following the research phase, the project transitioned to creating. Using my skills in Cinema 4D, I created a rough model of both the bike and its rider. With tight deadlines looming, this 3D model became the cornerstone for all subsequent 2D illustrations featured in the film, providing a good base for bringing the biker's journey to life on screen.
