Giddy Up!

From this image...

...I thought how cool would it be if I actually had a moving horse and cart in my pictures? I figured it would be both a great way to bring the streets to life, and also help set the scene perfectly, being a great sign of the times which you just do not see anymore.

So I had a look for some decent footage of horse and carriage, and came across the following...

...which was actually a promotional piece offering "authentic 19th century horse-drawn carriage experiences in Connecticut." Sounds nice.

Picking an angle that best suited the majority of my clips, I started the longwinded cutting and pasting process again...

...adding each frame to its own blank background...

And it turned out as follows...

Probably my best cut of them all, certainly my favourite! I got away with the fine details at the bottom as I'll be blending all the white away, which should get rid of this too.

When applied to a shot, I think it'll work a treat! Least I hope so!
