Two words for Green Screen keying: Keylight and CC LightWrap

Two words for long renders: Match-Grain and Rack-Blur

Two words for awesome color correction: Absolute Curves and Color Finese (and Magic Bullet to finish it off)

Two words for masking: Tedious and Tiring

Two (thousand) words for before and after:

Shuba in front of a green screen, and after.

A professional could do better than me, but this is with 10 minutes with Keylight and CC Light wrap, and a 6 hour render for the background (with Match Grain and Rack Blur). Sarah was masked away in the final picture. But Inside Mask and Outside Mask (features of Keylight)… now that’s hellishly tiring, and tedious. Add to the fact that I was using a touchpad…

Final piece color-corrected by Absolute Curves and Color Finese. (I need to work on the contrast of this thing… some gamma correction as well)

This, however, isn’t the final cut. Final cut will be done in Sony Vegas… and is a long way away. This is actually for the trailer.

Adobe After Effects CS 3 rocks (but the public beta which I’m using tends to crash a lot… especially when it runs out of memory.)

Any comments?
