  • FAIRY WINGS – need some ingenious keying

    Posted by Tom Gomez on October 27, 2015 at 11:04 pm

    Hey Folks!

    I’m at my wit’s end in attempting to key/cut-out/mask/matte the HAIR in this shot. I’m putting wings on this fairy. I can roto the body and head no problem. But the flowing hair! It needs to cover the wings! I’ve tried keying, difference mattes, etc. Maybe there’s a better technique out there?

    Right now the best I can do is blurry masks as you can see in the still composite. Would like nice crisp hair over the wings. Files attached. (Obviously I should have shot this over greenscreen, but alas, I didn’t!)

    Any tips are much appreciated!

    -Tom
