    Default Hello & compositing question

    Hello,

    Thanks for the great podcast.

    I am looking into doing some compositing to get a similar effect seen in this BMW advert: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vu9ScFwy8UM.

    I will be doing as much as posible in post, using particles/masking etc.

    Has anyone done anything similar or have any thoughts on the process and methodology?

    thanks.

    Actually while I do not know first hand...
    They look like the optical effects you get with a laser into a ice.

    I would bet a bunch of the shots are comps of this filmed effect over live action car

    Does anyone know?

    most of it looks live..one can get a similar effect by pointing a laser thru prismatic glass...the rest looks like softimage!..wonder who did it ? having said that > maybe live club lights projected onto the car would give a similar result ?

    DigitalAir is a facility here in Geneva/Switzerland that is well experienced with such effects (http://www.digitalair.com). Ask for Dayton Taylor, he may help you
