FX:

The originalFootage was recorded only 25 frames.I intended to expand the original footage with Realviz Retimer, but ,unfortunately the specular and the enviroment reflections going against differents directions,ones to left ,others to right.This situation was unstable for analize the motion vectors,making a bad render solution to expand in time.

My solution for this shot was to make the car entirely in CG,the background is a still with the originary film grain of the footage.The fresnell reflections of the car was made with a prepared hdri of the background.the car was modelled beacuse this vehicle model wasnt in 3Dlibrary models(modelled in two insane days¡¡¡)The smoke effect was a mixed technique with particles(with projection map of the actors) and a fumeFX effect.morphing effects was made to control a little the silouetthe of the smoke.All passes was composed with combustion at 2K.
