Green screen meteor



for my VFX the green screen element would be a hand made meteor that i would animate in a stop motion fashion for 10 seconds,


After importing the images into a sequence and setting the frame rate to 25 fps. i proceeded to mask out the un needed areas and keyed as much as possible. 

 once the un needed junk was keyed out, i added a "keylight effect" to the comp and proceeded to remove the remaining green areas. by setting "Screen Colour" to green, and changed "view" to matte


 after removing the last of the green screen, i set the clip black and white balance to remove any grey, after i adjusted the "screen softness" to reduce any hard edges.


using the "screen shrink/Grow" i pulled the mask to remove any left over sharp edges. after moving the layers into a new composition, it was time to add some colour correction. using "Curves" to add a brown/green tint to the silver meteor. and final using both "tint" and "Exposure" to darken the meteor so it would fit a little better

last but not least, with the meteor keyed and ready, it was time to animate it passing over the building, and finally landing beside the o2 Academy
