Grüne Hölle
Grüne Hölle (Green Hell) was my practical graduation project as part of my bachelor thesis. The setting plays in a post apocalyptic almost forgotten and overgrown version of the "Grüne Hölle" racetrack at the Nürburgring in Germany.
The specific shots show the aftermath at the notorious Caracciola Karussell corner, where the driver wanted to take his legendary Shelby Cobra for one last ride not taking into account all the dangers he would encounter as nature takes back control of it´s racetrack.
Feedback is appreciated!
