After Effects Green screening Part 1

This is part one in a 3 part series about green screening in Adobe After Effects CS4. In this part, we'll learn the basics of Keylight and key out our actor layer to get ready for compositing.

Basically, in the 3-part series, we'll be recreating the "Green screening in Halo 3" video from scratch. Go ahead and check it out, but the result from this is actually better than the "GSiH3" vid (because I thought of some stuff after I made it like dragging the actor layer out in Z space and using a camera instead of a null. Anyways, just watch the video. And check out http://www.shadowndacorner.com , I've updated the videos section and I have a whole bunch of Ink Spatter images in there, too.

@rspprodinc lol i know... this was a year ago, when i was still pretty much a noob at after effects and making tutorials. plus i was sick when i made this.

thanks for commenting, though

@TheFXGuy basically.....what does being sick have to do with saying basically too much? basically that's a lame excuse

[TheFXGuy]

@hungryhhippo I was answering the basically thing with "I was a total noob at making tuts". The sick thing just an addition.

Anyway, don't just jump into other peoples conversations.

@TheFXGuy lol, man all this is public, its not like I read a private message between you guys, and I have every right to jump in because I agreed that you basically liked to use the word basically the whole video, so basically there's nothing wrong with what I said.

[TheFXGuy]

@hungryhhippo lol that's not what I meant, but whatever.
