Making a small-scale wooden car

The process

I thoroughly enjoyed the process of making this car. As someone who loves creating things, especially with wood, this project was particularly satisfying. Initially, I envisioned crafting a sporty-looking car. However, my creative direction was influenced by the Oscar-nominated stop-motion animation short "Negative Space" by Tiny Inventions (Ru Kuwahata & Max Porter).

The film features a distinct yellow taxi and other vehicles with exaggerated shapes, which captivated my imagination. Inspired by these unique designs, I felt compelled to produce something similar out of wood. This influence pushed me to explore new techniques and styles, making the project both challenging and rewarding.

Crafting this car allowed me to combine my passion for woodworking with my admiration for artistic animation, resulting in a creation that I’m really proud of.
