Hello everyone. i know i posted this question once before a few months back BUT i still cant find a silutioin to this major problem! i filmed with an actor who had blood red hair in front of a green screen. i have about 30 minutes worth of footage i need to key and cant seem to get a good key around his hair. i tried using a switch mate in shake but that didnt work. it just leaves me with green around his hair... instead of the goldish trash around his hair.
a fellow teacher of mind told me that rotoscoping around his hair and then using a paint tool to color the tips would be the only option left for me to do. please say its not so! (but ill do it if i have to)
are there any plug ins out there for shake or after effects that would work for a situation like this? does anyone out there have the answer?! ive been working on solving this problem for about 4 months now and i have yet to make any solid progress...
thank you for your time and i hope that this issue can be fix with your help.
