What kind of retouching has been done on the car? Is there any video where I can watch this kind of a retouching?

Is there any video out there for a similar task?

Re: Is there any video out there for a similar tas
They've done every trick in the book. There is no easy answer. Some motion blur on the backdrop, a lot of contrast and DNB on the backdrop. Car has been cleaned up considerably, pretty obvious on the fender. Cloning on the bushes in front is also obvious, and those double mountains and rocks. And the water splashes must be a composite.

wow - without even looking at the vehicle, that background is among the worst compositing I've seen (by someone/people that should know better)

The step and repeat is an embarrassment to the craft.
If this was CG in origination, the original would look quite flat if they output in passes. It's even more the case if they're using a linear compositing workflow. They aren't displayed linear on screen but still always look flat. The environmental reflections would typically be done with a spherical hdri. It's normal for one to accompany a backplate where the vehicle is to be composited along with all available information regarding the lens focal length, film back / sensor dimensions, measured distance from the camera to where the vehicle would stand, camera height, and camera angle. It's not possible to fully rebuild an outdoor scene, which is why you would just use a dome for primary reflections. Additional "cards" could be used where necessary for emphasis to promote the right look to rendered reflections. The camera angle and proximity would however be recreated in the scene so as to set up a reasonably accurate projection.

Re: Is there any video out there for a similar tas
My first impression was that it is an art director's layout to brief a retoucher. Apart from the clumsy repetition of rocks etc, the integration of the vehicle is poor. Not a splash or drop of water on the bonnet or bumpers? Wheel spin blur travelling at very low speed? I love the way the heather drops in and out of focus in all directions though lol. Given the skewed appearance of the front end details, it looks like the vehicle has been distorted to sit within the terrain. Having the headlights on would give it the picture a boost too. Putting a windscreen highlight over the driver is an oft used device to disguise driver ethnicity - it enables use of the image across different markets. A bit crude in this case though. Of course, this could all be an elaborate joke!?Last edited by Repairman; 05-22-2014, 01:12 AM.

Re: Is there any video out there for a similar tas
Windscreen highlights are also used to hide the fact there is no driver at the wheel like in a studio shot! Also, the reflections on the side windows are of a flat landscape at odds with the mountain valley setting. The front passenger side corner has been stretched IMO; the distortion is given away by the raised panel on the bonnet (hood) not being parallel to the screen or the front bonnet edge and there is a kink in the bumper (fender). The colour has been applied more as a flat wash than naturally but that seems to be the trend along with other HDR effects. Of course we can only guess at the reasons behind the project but it feeds a fun debate!

by mkunert1) The ad text said the video is in 1080p. Well, the 1080p broadcast didn't work so I had to view the video at a lower resolution.
2) The sample to get you to buy is the same in all the video: the boring "this is how you text questions". As I'm not viewing the video live,...-

by skydogI'm waiting for the Canon 5DII to be available. The video looks interesting, especially being able to use my current wide angle and zoom lenses. With such video would one retouch using Photoshop extended? Will video retouch be a forum within retouchpro in the future if that is the direction of the...
