luma key?

It really depends on how you light the shot. Can you post a screenshot of the image?

i haven’t shot any footage yet- trying to gather info to figure out the lighting need- since it’s suppose to imitate night time- perhaps i should try to put up blue or green tarps around the background to key off? since the inside of the car will be dark except for the few points of light- trying to key off the black or white might be a killer? any suggestions regarding this attack- will be much appreciated!

The green and blue screens will work much better and there is “less risk”. Make sure that your lighting for the green and blue screens is adequate enough, otherwise Premiere Pro will have a lot of problems keying it out.

this is a bit off topic- but i plan to shot the “running footage” seperately- the footage that i’ll actually place outside the windows- i assume i should simply try to shoot normally, at the actual angles i would see if sitting in the car? i.e.car height, aimed out the window, driving at a moderate speed?

You need to shoot the bg footage exactly how it would be seen from the cameras point of view for the foreground image with the car and the actor. Same lens, lens height and direction but minus the f.g elements of course.

Remember the bg image is unlikely to be totally stable so put some car movement into your f.g shot.

Direction tip: I love the shots when the actor turns his attention away from the road for long, long,long periods of time …and he never crashes.
