Write a short summary of what happens in the film

This film is the story of how a one-of-a-kind photograph was created by a collaboration between an artist, a driver, a photographer – and a car. First, we see Greg Murphy walking towards the I-PACE in the half dark with his helmet in hand. We cut to Otis Frizzell, sketching out a pinstriping-style artwork in his studio. We cut back to the beautiful lines of the I-PACE. Greg starts the engine and the I-PACE leaps forward, racing around the 120m x 60m metre track sketched out on the ground. As the I-PACE moves, the lines are repeated by Otis’s hand drawing. The pace picks up as Greg navigates the twists and turns of the course, with Otis directing Greg to ensure he stays on track. Finally, the I-PACE comes to rest, Greg emerges with Otis congratulating him. The camera pulls back to reveal the stunning image that has been created.
