SPEED KILLS - Part I
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh no!  Dr. Havoc's crack terror commando, known only as "Speed",
has stolen the top secret XM-31 Jet Car from Hank Maverick, ace
stunt driver and CIA operative (don't ask why Hank had it hidden
in an unguarded hangar just off the interstate, he's smacked one
too many windshields during sudden deceleration and he *IS* CIA
after all!)

Will "Speed" pull off this daring attack?  Can Hank return from
his vacation in sunny Hawaii in time to stop him?  Only time will
tell...

This short film (approx 2.5 minutes worth) was created over the
course of about 3 days.  Having recently re-installed Stunt
Island and discovered the number for the Disney BBS, I called to
get a copy of SIUPDATE (and excellent resource for Stunt Island
fans!).  Several of the techniques discussed in SIUPDATE sounded
interesting and this film was my vehicle for "playing" with them!

Although the film looks deceptively simple, it actually required
five sets, numerous cameras and props and more collision windows
than I care to count!  There is no "flying" prop per se.  If you
look real closely at the beginning of the film you'll see a
Interstate 5 sign beside the highway, this is Prop 1!  For sets
in which I want all props to be event controlled, I'll normally
set global brakes on and place Prop 1 with an initial speed of
zero.  With a little planning and careful positioning, you can
use Prop 1 and the Spotter Plane as two extra cameras to film
OTHER props in your set!
