Green Screen footage: 17/11/11

At the beginning of the week, with some help from a classmate, I discovered some things I could do in After Effects to fix my footage. rather than having to reshoot it.

After keying out the green and adjusting some colour levels/brightness& contrast, I managed to fix the areas of the shot where the actresses top disappeared. However, my classmate also pointed out the shadows in the footage. I therefore had to sit and rotoscope the footage, drawing masks around the shadows and animating them to move with the footage.

I figured this would take hours and hours to do, but luckily I managed to edit, rotoscope and key the 1 minute piece of footage in around 2 and a half hours. I am very pleased with the results and am looking forward to continuing with the next step of the project, tracking the 2 pieces of film and adding the 3D elements.
