  • Remove light reflections on a car

    Posted by Patrick Dosanjh on September 16, 2013 at 10:14 am

    Hey guys,

    still being a bit new on davinci I am looking for a solution on following issue:

    I have a few shots from a red colored car in a white studio. Shot on tripod as well as on camera crane.
    The light is very soft and quite fine but there are still some spot reflections from the studio lights on the car.
    Such as white dots on the red car.
    What can I do to turn them red like the car color is?
    Already tried to blur them but more I’d like to remove them.

    Thanks for any help

    Patrick

    Send the plates to VFX dept ?

    Depends how bad they are.

    do a luma key for them
    put a window round each one and track the spot. 1 window per spot
    Expand your matte
    grade to be same red (though you wont get the shading/reflectance properties of the paint)

    depending on movement could also try offsetting in the x or y ie clone

    but that depends on the cars movement

    still should be simple.
