STORY
This fun project aims to communicate the thrill and the adrenaline that only this amazing sport can offer.
Mountain Biking.
A good mountain biker knows when his/her skills have reached the next level, when he feels that all the moves on the bike are connected, and nothing is to be thought. This is the “Flow” state.
The character of this story plans his way on the trail in order to maintain the flow. Like drawing, you plan your path and when you find the flow, you don’t think of anything else.
The speed of the animation builds up and the clip is directed accordingly, communicating this exiting feeling.
