I’ve got an awesome CG animated short film that you’ve got to watch titled The Cloud Racer. This visually stunning and exhilarating short comes from director Joe Sill and his production studio Impossible Objects and it was created by the Unreal engine.

The story is set in the near future, 2055, and it follows “a young man and his blue-collar mechanic father compete in a qualifier for an advanced racecraft competition, through a treacherous course against elite racers that runs through the now ‘Ghost City’ of Los Angeles.”

Certain aspects of this short reminded me of the podracing scene in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, and the racing scenes from the Wachowskis' Speed Racer. I enjoyed it! So, start your engines and watch the short below!
