Boom arm. You essentially make a "vertical pano" with the nadir being
the arm that is coming through one of the open windows (or, if you
have the option, down from the sunroof). You then move the boom arm
around to the other side of the car for the "nadir shot." I know
people who have set up laser pointers to intersect at the point
inside the car where the head should be located so the boom can be
moved and the same nodal/ no parallax point re-achieved.
A couple of other tricks: put white sheets over the windows and then
shoot a nice "outdoor" pano and mix the two in photoshop so it looks
like the car is in the outdoor location. (Helps if you have studio
lights outside the sheets providing similar lighting.) I also know
some folks put small lights under the seats in dark colored car
interiors to brighten up the footwells. Roger Howard would be the guy
to ask about this stuff... he was there doing this stuff in the heyday!
