Welcome to the third episode of car adventures! Here it is result.
Beginning and ideas
This time no white or transparent background. Ladies and gentelmens! This is breakthrough moment! This time we have real background! But let's go back to the beginnig. I found on pexels photo of old soviet car (I think it's Moskvich 408) in pure white scenery. I started wondering how it will look like on sandy desert. Here story begins.
From cold to desert
Swaping backgrounds was a standard procedure. Exept this I forgot to cut part of chassis and wheel. I'm glad I notice this before next steps which was cleaning wheels from snow. Most of them was simple stamp work, but with front left was pretty impossible to do it. Too much snow on it. Solution was copy part of other wheel. Fast and efficient solution. For back wheel I didn't remove chains. It seems work also in desert enviroment and looks kinda cool.
Removing snow from car body and glass was a bit more challenging. Little work with mixed stamp, patch tool and low opacity brush make work done. Important for realism was add new shadows and darkening lower parts of vehicle and wheels. When there is no snow, there should be less diffuse light and reflections from ground.

Brushes and Blur, a lot of blur!
On that stage image look boring. It needed more dynamic and motion! I added radial blur to wheels. I love doing this effect! Car immediately look like it was crossing desert at high speed. Still it felt off. Motion blur on background fixed this.
What travel on desert is with no dust, right? I jump quickly on brusheezy to find some cool brushes. With a lot of tries and erros i get effect I want
Colors, gradient and glass
But wait a minute?! Car driving itself? Where is driver? Let's pretend that there is one, but for more illusion I darkened glass and make very simple silhouette. It's seems to work. Just don't look to closely!
Other things was adding gradient for color contrast and enhancement, bringing back orange side light. I remove it accidentally using patch tool at the beggining.

Outside recording
At last moment I needed change credits because I forgot mentioning used brushes. It was a very puzzle game to fit all set brushes names on a such limited space.
In editing video I had problems with applying speed up in video. Shotcut works very clunky and after saving file it's impossible to reverse this procedure. I mean slow down video to original speed. In next project I will propably look for a new editing program.
Last trouble was my logo. When I recorded video I used my old logo. In meantime I change it because I didn't have rights for earlier font. Nevermind! After this flaw I needed to record once again end of the video. So I did. I think cut is seamless and no one will figure out.
That's all!
Big thanks to authors of original photos
