We will provide support information to help you along the way which includes a short lesson, a bonus with additional pointers, a glossary of VFX terms, and some other information to review. Rotoscoping is a technique used to cut something captured on film (not on a green screen) so that it can be separated and used in different shots, removed from shots, or even for layering effects in a scene.
In this article, we’ll cover a simple and straightforward roto tutorial that will help you complete a variety of projects that require rotoscoping. It sounds a little confusing, but you’ll be familiar with this tool in the coming weeks. In this article, we’re going to take a look at one of the most well-known VFX techniques: keying something that’s been shot on a green screen. It’s so common that even your grandparents probably know about it. So, how does a green screen work? And how can you isolate what’s been shot on it? Learn how to key things in After Effects and deal with the complex issues that come with using this type of footage, like controlling bleed (that green that bleeds onto the object you’re keying). You’ll also learn more advanced color matching throughout the course.
