chroma keying
I am starting to play with a project that requires blue screening, but haven’t had a lot of experience with it (playing a little in post – FCP & AE).
I am planning to do a studio shoot so the lighting will be pretty even. I am seeking the counsel of the wise on this one, so any tips/tricks to be mindful of – both in production and post would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much,

Besides lighting, you need to practice.
Chromakeying is 70% production (lighting, blue/green, costumes and video format) and 30% software keying tools.
FCP’s keyer is adequate for most applications but if you’re getting paid for this project or if you are paying a crew or for a the studio, you will want to be much more prepared. You may need to learn how to do 50 Point mattes or you may need to rent a better video camera.bogiesan
This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

I Do my chroma keying in AE with Keylight, and I find it to be much more functional. Also since i’m already in AE I go ahead and do my composite for the chroma key in there as well. Saves me a lot of time on the render end of it.
