Luigi Raceway - Mario Kart Hot Wheels
First off, special thanks to ‪@JoshhMarshh‬ for the audio for this video. Make sure to check out their amazing channel! I was given permission to use this amazing music.
Luigi Raceway is an intense battle between Mario, Toadette and Dry Bones!
So some fun facts about this one!
- This was probably the most time intensive film I've made when it comes to SET UP. I really wanted to use my Mario Characters in this video to make it look more like the game. Sometimes I felt that filming one small scene was about 90% set up and 10% film. I was really happy with the outcome.
- This is the first time I've used Mario Kart Billboards in my videos. For some reason I never thought about putting them in the videos before. But figured it would be a great addition to this video. I also put in some of my favorite youtube channels on the billboards as well. See if you can find the profile pictures of ‪@5MadMovieMakers‬ , ‪@epvideosdiecastracing‬ , ‪@supertracks5837‬ , ‪@mariokarthotwheels‬ , ‪@qumumusic‬ , ‪@JoshhMarshh‬ , ‪@PanmanMusic‬ and ‪@DJMykah‬
- This was filmed mostly near my house and our AirBnB. The part with Mario driving past the beautiful red burning bushes was filmed at my brother's house. He was recently diagnosed with ALS and will be moving near Salt Lake City Utah to be closer to a clinic that specializes in ALS care. I've always loved how beautiful their driveway is and wanted to capture it before they move. I'll definitely miss him.
- This is the first time I've used the Ghost effect. I was really happy with the outcome. This was accomplished by filming the track with and without Dry Bones. Then A LOT of frame by frame editing, feathering and tweaking the opacity.
Hope you enjoy!
