Re: Live Fretless Bass Improvisation Looper Jam & Chroma Key test



I too thought the keying went ok,
Obviousy the lighting was a bit dark on Torben himself, But I
considered that an effect, it made him look like he was in a sunset, I
just wanted a cactus and a horse to show up.

Ed, keying can be tricky, and A Torben said, it's all in the lighting.
tips

big screen.) the further you can be from the screen the more seperate
the lighting can be
lighting), as flat and even as poss, pref with "soft boxes" to diffuse
the beam, and reduce the hotspot.
keylight). Have one or two lights facing backwards towards the camera,
and shining on the back of the actors head, add pink (magenta) gel to
this light, this will seperate the edges better.
compression) use little or no compression on the footage that you will
be keying (after effects??)
and) don't use iMovie...

and finally,
If you want a desert background, consider going to the desert.
