"OPTIONS" | Chester's AE86 Trueno | HALCYON (4K)

Everyone has a specific vehicle platform they love. For Chester, that's the AE86.. in fact, he has seven of them. Yes, seven. One for each day of the week. Not a bad problem to have, huh? The cleanest of the bunch, in my opinion, is this iconic white/black AE86 with very period correct styling. Featuring a shaved engine bay, and a strong NA motor sporting ITB's, it's a fun go kart for the street.
We spent the day / night in Providence, Rhode Island for the shoot. A big thank you to Miller Media for helping out and doing BTS on this shoot. Check out his work here: / lmillermmms

This video is a special one to me. It was filmed on November 22nd, 2020. It's sat for just about a year on my computer, unedited. After reviewing the shots upon returning home from the shoot, I felt discouraged with what I captured. I let that get to my head and ignored the video for some time while I was feeling pretty down overall, something I explained in a community post a while back. Life got busy, and the project got put on the back burner. I'm in a better place mentally now, and if there's any advice I can offer from this situation is that it is better to put your work out there, rather than letting it sit because you are trying to chase perfection. Try not to let things get to your head so much, self-doubt can kill your creativity and motivation.

“You are now watching Halcyon” gave me goosebumps.

The official Gofundme for Lester’s family can be found here, anything helps ❤️ www.gofundme.com/f/3f6zj-lesters-funeral-expenses?qid=c4b7a53bc0ffb0677ee4510312f3c04e Update 1: @beastcoast on Instagram is having stickers of Chesters 86 from this video made with all proceeds going directly to his family. Please check their Instagram if you’d like to order. Hi everyone. This hurts to say, but, Chester passed today due to a battle with COVID. He was one of the most kind and down to earth souls I’ve ever gotten to spend time with. I will update this comment if any donation services become available. Chester is a true legend. ❤️

[@azmainabrar697]

this hits even harder after chester's passing. truly an inspiration to me since i was 17. made me fall in love with the 86 platform in general. i saw him drift the purple 86 at lock city & was like "shit 86s can b built to this level??'. if japan got tsuchiya san, then we got chester stateside for our generation. Thank u for inspiring everyone that came across u

Shit, had no idea he passed, condolences to all close to him. Really liked the way he built and drove his cars.

Thanks for the feedback!

[@Linkzdrifts]

It genuinely doesn't get much better than a Halcyon feature and what a car(s) to be featured. This one's gonna get a lot of rewatches from me that's for sure.

[@cudakRS]

another incredible material from you, totally love it. The description speaks on what I'm struggling for some time now... Thanks for the vid and words of encouragement. Sometimes simple words from a stranger on internet can help break the cycle and return back to normal, even if it seems like I don't know what's normal anymore.

Hope all is well ❤
