You can apply the fractal noise effect to a series of layers, down the sub-scale, up complexity and contrast to your liking and bring the brightness down. It will look very convincing as a field of stars in space, but it wont be 3d.

Depending on whether you have a speed check expression on the particle layer or not, you might want to toggle the gravity down and add some turbulence, like Dan said. Alternatively, you can duplicate the particle layer and rotate it 180 and cut both particle counts in two.

I reckon the colour key built in AE is a very picky one.. Disturbing little pixels denoting scales of green which AE basic keying has trouble identifying. The whole keyframing of ´the mask isnt difficult at all.. try keyframing start and end and then correct inbetween. Shouldnt take more than 15 minutes. OR try using the colour key with high tolerance and add the keylight 1.0 and set it to key green as well. OR try another shade of green for keying.. Either way, it should sort out neatly.

Heya.
After doing the colour keying to your satisfaction, duplicate the video layer of the blue shirt (so it ends on top of the actual key layer, make a “small” mask around the area of interference and disable the colour key on that layer/mask.
Of course, supposing here, youre working with a static shot, or else youll need some additional roto-tooling with the mask key points..
Hope it works.

May have gone overboard on explaining. My laptop doesnt support firewire, so Im streaming it on my desktop on a portable HD, and subsequently dump it on both external HD and the laptop through USB.

I´ve performed keying quite well a couple of times with standard miniDV-equipment. (nothing counts as much as lightning, as stated above a few times) I Used the Canon MV900 and XL2 for recording, streamed video at 720×576 (in Europe), imported the footage into an AE composition defined at HDV-resolution (1440×1080, again, in Europe), scaled the thing and ended up with a composition performing quite well on a sub-standard laptop, on the run. Mind you, this laptop did not render any of the final editions. But it works impressively, and it´s cheap.
