Audi’s marketing campaign includes a trailer that features a high-speed light painting using the headlights and tail lights of the 2014 R8 V10 Spyder sand the Ducati Diavel Cromo motorcycle. Both are featured in the film. A Canon EOS C300 digital camera captured the images that are meant to create Wolverine’s Adamantium claws with light.
