live footage with ice car comped in

[flipside]

Hi,

A client just called me, asking if i could render a porsche made entirely out of ice. Like a porsche ice sculpture. That part would probably be possible with a nice model.

But, the car needs to be placed in real footage, where people need to walk around it, look through the windows etc... So you need to see those people refracted through the ice model.

Is this possible??? I guess I would need to model a lot of the environment to map the video onto it, but how can you do this with moving people?

Thanks for any advice!

i would film the people behind the car on green screen then put them on a plane behind the car in the approximate place they should be in relation to the set. this will give you a refraction. of them plus maybe reflection of them on things like the hood and roof. the ones in front if you can somehow do the same that might work.
