Swapping the Background

@source: Original clip — same young man driving a white car convertible with the top down, seatbelt on, talking and gesturing to camera, filmed from a cowl-mounted rig looking back at the driver, motion blur as the car moves. Subject, face, car, seatbelt, rig framing, camera position and driving motion — preserve exactly. Replace background environment and time of day. Photoreal. 16:9. 6s. Filmic look — night, neon-lit, wet reflections, magenta-cyan palette, high contrast, deep blacks. Preserve source subject, face, performance, car, seatbelt and camera move; replace only the world and the lighting. SFX only. Continuous shot from the same cowl-mounted rig, same framing and camera position as the source. The man keeps driving and talking to camera, gesturing, seatbelt on. The environment is fully replaced and time shifts to night: the car cruises a rain-wet downtown street walled with dense neon — Japanese signage, glowing storefronts, holographic billboards — all streaking past in long light trails with strong parallax. Wet asphalt mirrors the neon; coloured reflections and bokeh slide across the white paint and windshield. Relight the driver for night — magenta and cyan neon spill washing over his face from the sides, a cool rim edging his hair and shoulder, skin kept readable against the dark. Oncoming headlights and tail-light streaks flare past. Face and identity unchanged. SFX only: open-cockpit wind softened by the city, low engine hum, distant traffic and muffled bass, occasional passing-car whoosh, faint rain hiss on asphalt.
