how do I acheve the greenish tint from the Matrix movies?

[Jim Minton]

You might try an overlay of lime green and test the layer options, may do it. Or try a glow layer of the matrix images and then run a green overlay and see what that does.

I’m Confused again…Thanks for your suggestions.

Or, just try doing it the easy way which also is probably the way they did it. Use lighting with Green Gels from Rosco, Lee, or Gam. If you watch the traielr closely, you can see areas that have green lights on them, the actors sometimes have a green tinge from the light. But, sometimes, they have a different color completely (like white). Sure, I guess that this could be done in the computer but that sure sounds like the hard way to do it.
