This week was the last full week for changes for this project. After this week we only have a weekend left to make adjustments so we really needed to do as much as possible to get this close to being a finished product.

For compositing adjustments I made this week I brightened the sky but took down the stars some more, there also a few clouds in the sky. I adjusted the blacks for each shot but will continue to adjust them to get them closer to matching shot to shot. All shots also now have z depth and motion blur. I also added more layers to the lens flares to make them much brighter.

For the close up shot I added some clouds to help create depth. We adjusted the rim lighting as well and added another layer where I could brighten the whole head and darken the wings to help make it stand out.

In the drifting shot we added a layer for tire tread marks on the road which I think helps to ground the car in this shot.

Below I have our current edit, and a breakdown with the nuke scripts for each shot.
