indeed it is boring to watch but it is interesting if you're into the graphic stuff

Awesome. Very enlightening . I'm hoping its as easy as you make it look though.

Cool

Is there a reason you convert the path to a selection? Why not just use a vector mask and turn the whole layer into a smart object from there? That way, you can always alter the mask later, and every time you distort/resize/transform the layer, you aren't further degrading it since the smart object always refers to the original, not a scaled/transformed version. There's way more flexibility there.

You could even make the reflection layer based on the same smart object, so that when you change one, the other changes as well. For example if you were to paint on a decal or change the selection of the original, it would be "reflected" in the reflection. Time savers.

Looks good! you pretty much did all the stuff ive mentioned. Just a few things that you might want to consider. adding in some glows for the lights/ beams of light. maybe adding some color to the background (optional of course) color in the background can change a picture dramatically. And also darken the bottom corners slightly not a lot just a little. It will draw attention to the car more. just my personal opinion. You have the file on hand so try a few things out. Looks great though. Id give it an A+

Thanks! I desaturated and darkened the background for an eerie look (going with the "Limbo" video game style artwork). And just forgot to darken the corners. I'll definitely keep at it though! Thanks again for putting the video together!

It still looks good! it all depends on what "you" were going for.

Thanks! Quick question: what's the best way to add fog to pics? I wanted to add some to the foreground...
