greenscreen silhouettes

[Mark Fogarty]

To make your keyed footage all one colour, just add the “fill” effect and choose whatever colour you want using that.

You can even do some funkier things by adding the “ramp” and “colorama” effects to your keyed footage. This will allow you to create unique gradients, both subtle and bold, to your keyed footage.

Hope this helps

Something like this?

As Mark said, Generate > Fill will render the layer a single color.

You can play with shades of colors to suggest depth.

Depending on the look you’re creating with water filling up the titles, you could either just animate the water surface or indeed shoot something in a small tank. You’ll need to make sure the water is ‘wild’ enough otherwise it will just end up looking like a slightly animated mask – in which case that would be easier to do.

As for shooting the fluid: milk in front of a black background will be easier to get a nice matte from.

I’d suggest buying a copy of Andrew Kramer’s “Serious Effects & Compositing” tutorial disc.
https://store.creativecow.net/p/52/serious_effects__compositing
He’s got a step-by-step tutorial on there on how to create 3d Silhouette (here’s a screenshot).

Lots of other cool stuff on the disc…pretty good deal for what you get and learn.
