SETUP SHOT - Wildcat Concept Car
I want to stress how using found objects is important when being creative. This is why I
enjoy showing behind the scenes. As my Dad would say: "Why reinvent the wheel every time you start something new? What you need is probably already in the room you're in."
Derek Lyons aptly said it's like watching MacGiver. Thank you Derek!
So here is the glamorous dream car photo exposed for what it really is.
-Glitter embedded plastic from a drum.
-A piece of glass from a picture frame
-An inverted aluminum cake plate
-4 pieces of embossed styrene plastic
-A piece of black foamcore with circle cut out
and a microwave dish holder stuck in place.
-Plus a string of battery powered LED lights.
Aside from the expense of the model car and the LED lights [ $3 ] everything else was free.
I hope I'm not sounding too pedantic.
