unique chroma key problem
My green screen chroma key is fine, but now my client wants me to remove the chair or make it white like the background so it’s hidden. I tried duplicating the layer and isolating the chair with a garbage matte and adding a second chroma filter to key out the orange but that didn’t work. Any ideas?

You are looking at needing to use After Effects and do a lot of rotoscoping. Time consuming. You can tell your client yes, it can be done…but not cheaply.

If he doesn\’t have be in the center of the frame, push him to the right until the chair is off screen, that\’ll give you real estate on the left to get creative and remove the chair.

Shane is right. You will need to rotoscope that. There is to big of variation on the color of the chair caused by the shadow and many of the color tones there are to close to the color tones of his hair and face. I bet if you were to try and key it you would loose portions of the face and hair also.

yeah that’s exactly what happened, which is why I thought I could create a second chroma filter and mask out just the chair so the face wouldnt be affected. obviously it didn’t work.
Thanks for your feedback guys.

You can do it in motion. How long it will take will depend on how long the shots are. I assume the chair doesn’t move so you are only going to be working on the area where he overlaps the chair. The less he moves the easier it will be.
