I had a lot of fun with this assignment. I transformed a red Porsche into a blue one. An electric current FX leads the color change . Sound effects were incorporated for the final cinematic transformation.
I used DaVinci Resolve 18 to produce the effect. I started with the red Porsche footage.
I used Resolve's Color tab to sample and isolate the original red color. I used the eyedropper tool to sample different red shades on the car to get all of the red.
Next, I selected the Gain wheel on the Color tab. I changed the sampled red color to the new blue color. I used the preview window to make sure all the red had been changed to blue.
I created an alpha output channel for the new blue Porsche on the Color tab. Then I merged the red and blue clips into a new Fusion clip on the timeline. Next I selected Resolve's Fusion tab.
I created a rectangle mask in Fusion. Next, I added the lightning FX also in Resolve Fusion. I keyframed the rectangle mask to move across the red car following the lightning FX and reveal the new blue car.
Finally, I used DaVinci's Node layout to connect the clips, mask and FX for the final video. I added an audio effect for the transformation and music for the final video.
