What if you had to the power to bring BTTF’s Delorean into life. Flux capacitor and all? Photographer Felix Hernandez (previously) did just that with a model car.  Of course, it’s more than just the model car, I mean, those are around $100 on Amazon, it’s the setting of the car and making it seem as if it hits 88 miles per hour on a table top.

Better yet, all effects were done in camera.

Felix has an interesting way to creating his images. He creates all the effects in camera and then layers them together in photoshop. This means that this particular photo involved a Dremel for creating sparks, a cigarette and a hose for smoke placement, a torch for the light streaks, and some lighter fluid for the fire trails.

You can go ahead and check the “live effects” on the move at the top fo the post, or get a quick idea here:
