Dear all,
this is all fantastic advice. Thanks a lot. I am in the midst of working through the various shots…there are a few in the sequence…(Urgh!).
The far background will be a sunset with blurred out silhouttes of trees. The middle and immediate background will be some more out of foucus foliage. I have done some rough work through all the shots testing the backgrounds – after all your great advice. And because the foliage is so “busy” it does help to distract from the dubious key.
I wll try all your advice for the keying next.
I have also added some camera tracking within my virtual “set”. It is helping no end to divert attention from the problems.
Luckily it was shot on Digibeta and not HDV.
I promise to let you see the final result. I think it’s the least I can do for all your help…
I might be back with another question once I get into the keying!
