It´s a matter of how much effort and work you put in. Do you have a blue or green box?
Or just film yourself and key out yourself in every frame with the help of the vector tool:

Well I forgot to add "After Effects CS3" I also have that!,I'll read that Guide you posting thanks for that! If I wanted to do it the other way Would a Blue Blanket Work, I have a huge one,are would I have to go buy Something New! and How would I use a Blue screen to Do this, in the video software I have?

To bluescreen, you basically do whatever action you want infront of your screen, import your video, and apply an effect called "color key". You select a single specific color, and it removes all instances of that color from the video, leaving transparency. How well your blanket will work depends on how many discolorations it has, is, the amount of creases, and pretty much anything that would keep it from looking like a blank blue wall. Also beware that anything you wear that's blue will be eliminated too.

What you're talking about is "compositing" in the more film/vfx sense of the word. When you see it done in movies, 99% of the time the actors or whatever were shot on a blue/green screen. This is something that while it's not hard to do, it's not easy to do WELL. If not done well, you're going to be able to look at the footage and say "yeah, that's some pretty terrible compositing." So what I'd suggest you do is look up some really comprehensive and tight tutorials online about compositing with blue/green screening. To put it in perspective, at my school we have an entire course dedicated to Media Compositing, and I've seen senior projects that still look amateurish. But either way, best of luck to you.

So does that mean if you are wearing blue clothes, you'll end up nakedVivaldi wrote:Also beware that anything you wear that's blue will be eliminated too.
Anyways, what can make it hard is the color used in the background (bluescreen or green) needs to be solid and consistant and hence lighted well to eliminate thinks like your shadow, other lighting varients and gradients and dark spots, etc

Well of course, I figured that was obvious.. then again maybe notLivingFlame wrote:It only has to be well lit around the area the subject is going to be moving in. If there's shadows and other such junk in areas the subject never goes, it can just be cut off with a garbage matte, or something similar.
