Re: Tips for color correcting a pale skinned blonde hair female on greenscreen

Well, first pre-treat the footage for better contrast and better greens, trying to remove some green from your foreground footage. If you need to, make masks for certain areas and use adjustment layers for those isolated areas. Then look at how noisy your blue channel is and use the 'remove grain' effect only on the blue channel to soften the noise, try not to blur the hair too much, name this comp "preTreat". Take that comp and place it in a new one and pull a hard, core matte. Label that comp "coreMatte". Drop "preTreat" on the make new composition button and pull a softer, edge key in there, call this comp "edgeMatte". If you need to make more garbage masks do it in "preTreat" so it is in all of your comps (removing c-stands, tracking markers, uneven screen parts, and on...) In the edgeMatte comp, refine it for most of the edges and if you can get a good edge around the hair, then good. If not, dupe the edge matte layer, roto a mask around the head or just the problem area, and pull a softer key for that- just concentrating on the hair. Feather the mask a little and you should be good. Use option=4 to see your alpha to make sure it looks good, option=4 to return to the RGB channels. Now after all this, place the "edgeMatte", "coreMatte" into a comp and name this comp "alphaMatte". Take the "alphaMatte" comp and your original footage into a comp name it "key" and use the alphaMatte comp as an alpha track matte for the original footage. Now you are free to apply spill suppression, color correct, any transformations and match with the background! VĂ³ila!
Hope this helps. Cheers!
