Professional use of junk model cars in Pimp My Ride promos [videos]

I was having a look at the portfolio of a friend on behance.net when I suddenly came across this great promotion videos for the world famous series “Pimp My Ride” where they used model cars to make the videos. The result is great, and the usage of the forced perspective shots is just perfect combining this time not only model cars and real buildings (as we also do in our photo shootings of the Gas Station and the Old Barn) but also with people in the background. By accurately calculating the distance between the scale models and the real life buildings and people, they created a great “giant hand” effect picking up the old car and bringing the pimped ride back.

Here you have the original Pimp my ride promotion videos.

This is the behance profile where you can sneak behind the scenes of this project.
