Green Screen Project

Did this last October for a middle school here in Nashville that was doing the musical "Willy Wonka".
They couldn't do the flying effect for "soda-pop" sequence so the director thought I could help by shooting a video that they could project on a big screen.
I got the kids over to a little studio I have at church where I make short films with the kids there. They did a great job lip-syncing to their own voice track. Shot with a Sony Z7 HDV so gettin' myself into a lot of potential problems but came out better than I thought since I had just gotten BCC7 at the time. The Boris keying tools really helped a bunch...still rough but OK to my old eyes.
I used a cheesy animation program called iClone to make the backgrounds and did all the compositing in Vegas.
Added some raw shots at the end to explain some technical stuff but I guess I need to hear from the Masters and get some feedback on the results...

VERY well done.
I might have added a smidge of reverb onto the vocals and bought them down a bit in the mix but the video is great mate. I wasn't until the end that I realised they weren't actually hanging.

Thanks all!
I was tweaking till the last, as usual. Still amazed that a Home Depot painted greenscreen shot in pretty mediocre light could come out decent.
Yeah Bob, audio could have been sweetened a bit but that wasn't my call...you're right though would have been nice with a little "plate reverb" goin' on ;-)

Very nice. And yes I agree the BBC7 Chroma Key plugin makes things so much easier. You can be much less strict on getting your lighting totally even, it even can be adjusted to key out shadows.
