Shot Descriptions:

1: Player starts off racing through a tunnel of trees
2: Trees part and road veers sharply to the right. The road can be seen curving back to the left in the distance on the other side of the valley
3: Rising from the center of the valley is a massive fungus covered tree that fades up into the clouds
4: Player encounters a cliff, on the other side is a fork in the road. Currently the bridge leads to the right fork
5: A massive cavern looms ahead
6: The track winds through stalagmites and columns, the cavern is lit by the faint glow of bioluminescence

A previously unsettled area of the planet, this location shows signs of primitive construction. Perhaps the indigenous species were expanding their territory but were unable to complete construction before their extinction.

Concept Statement: Think Fast

Theme:

Night

Rain Forest and caves

stalagmites

giant pitcher plants

glow worms

TRAPS  & OBSTACLES:

snake swarms

bug swarms that splatter on screen impairing visibility

puddles that reduce vehicle traction

Swinging platform

Two wheel stunt @ 3:22

Directing the player: crude cobblestone roads, lighting placement

Track Layout: rough figure 8, with the overlap taking place underground

Landmarks: Giant tree, cave, construction area.
