Update on green screen footage: 14/11/11

As planned, I captured the green screen footage in class on Monday, and edited the footage on Wednesday. However I came across a problem. The female actress on the shoot was wearing a white t shirt, and I hadn't noticed that some of the green from the studio had reflected onto her top. Therefore when I came to key out the green and change my characters into silhouettes, some of her body disappeared when she moved into certain positions. I have tried altering the colour levels on the original footage, to see if I could get rid of the green flare on her clothing, but I have been unsuccessful.

I think I will have to reshoot the footage and edit it again, which is a pain because I thought I'd got it all sorted out and could finish my assignment fairly quickly after learning the 3D element of the project. However, I am not too worried at the moment because luckily I have shot my footage fairly early, so I will have time to reshoot the shots in the green screen studio. In the mean time I will work on my 3D elements that I can add in later.

I hope to reshoot this week, once I have arranged a suitable day with my actors.
