    Hello,
    I’ve got some footage of two people sitting in the car at night. You can see them from the back (the camera was in the trunk of the car) and it is all quite colorful – which is nice, but I would like to make the two men talking to each other only black silhouettes (while everything else will be colorful. Do you please have any ideas how I could do this?
    Thans a lot for your time.

    I didnt shoot the film yet, I just have a few sewconds to see what it would like:-). I wouldnt film something without knowing in advance what Im going to do with it. So do you have any ideas what to do with it, please? Rotoscoping is pretty desperate:-). Please? Any suggestions welcome.

    Thank you:-). Maybe these are stupid questions, but it’s better to look dumb than to be: Why would you duplicate the car layer and put it on top of the chroma key layer? Also, I suppose the empty car could just be one frame with one mask? I think the only thing that will be in front of the actors will be the backs of the seats.
    Once again, thanks for your time.
