In this lecture, visual effects artist
Matt Linder discusses the essential keying concepts in Shake.
Matt explores each of Shake's keying nodes in great detail,
and discusses how to apply them to production shots. Matt explains
the concepts of hard mattes and soft mattes and how they are
used to equalize the detail of your matte. He shares tricks
for edge detail work such as hair, despilling green or blue
spill on the foreground subject, maintaining or inserting reflections,
and depth of field issues. Matt shows how to utilize multiple
keyed mattes to obtain a seamless composite of foreground and
background. Included in this DVD are many real-world production
examples of blue screen, green screen, sky replacement and
color replacement.
