Keying







This was a nice and easy shot to complete. The live action content of this shot took place at a studio at my university.

It was then a simple task of keying the character out. For this I used DV-Matte pro which is a 3rd party plug-in for After effects.

One of the nicer qualities of DV-Matte pro is that is keys in a number of stages. For of all you create a basic matte. You then create a detailed matte. The detailed matte allows you to keep the finer elements of your character such as his finer hair follicles.

I then added my backplate which was shot in Darlington town centre.

After adding grain, colour matching and adding fog the shot was compete. As final touch I added a fake camera move. This was achieve by keyframming the position of the comp in both the X and Y axis
