This may not be a valid claim in all scenarios, but one of the things I’ve discovered is that in a composited shot, green screen in particular, if the lighting is really hard to match between the foreground and background, after you’ve done your best to match the basic color grade, I like to place a “Looks” type effect over everything – maybe a vignette or some sort of ‘film look’. This really seems to ‘tie’ everything together, and helps to hide the fact that it’s a composite. I love Magic Bullet Looks for this, mainly because of it’s power and ease of use.
