It's not easy keying green

Apart from being a well known host, actor and singer it's a little known fact that Kermit the Frog also has a side job as a Visual Effects Consultant. With his background in VFX heavy movies, Kermit has become the go-to frog when it comes to Green Screen Consultancy. Because, even though compositing software has improved tremendessly over the last couple of years, Kermit likes to keep reminding VFX artists that it still isn't easy keying green.

1:46 Be honest, did you just shoot blue screen and replace it with a green screen? :)

Nope. I made a full frame green jpg RGB 0,255,0 and put that up on my flatscreen TV and it was even and bright enough to pull that key even though the white balance was slightly off.

@farmasinema Please do. I'm glad you like it.

haha. why am I not surprised to see that green dress shot at 1:32. Did you actually have to work on that?

[travestyalpha]

Fun.

[Jon124]

it's actually incredibly easy, if you shot it with a bluescreen like you're supposed to. Still, a hilarious video

Geweldig :P

Whether you like Fusion or not (rather, hate it as it seems goonhand has unusually strong feelings about his compositing software of choice - dude, it's just a tool!), this video clip was brilliantly entertaining.

Thanks for the laugh-out-loud (intentionally spelled out!) chuckle.
