blue/green screen

so i had some trouble with blue screen, the day doe lights in the studio are slightly blue tinted so a blue tinted reverb coverd my whole puppet, i tried many different setting on my camera before i decided to switch to green screen, in some of my shots i still have abit of green reverb on my puppet so there have been several shots i have had to manually delete the background in photoshop on every frame because the colour range in after effects would delete parts of my puppet, such as the eyeballs and so none of the lassoing tools and other tools i would normal use for blue/green screening to supress the green reverb would not work very well either. this has been very time consuming for the shots that had a lot of green on them and i have had to find different ways to edit these shots. i found a tool on after effects called 'spill supressor' that works very well at getting rid of this extra green on my puppet without taking any of the other colours or ruining the images, i was very pleased to find this tool as it makes the shots look so much better with minimal effort.






some final sets
