Chapter 8: Zu3d and Chroma-keying

This was mine and Jess's attempt at Chroma-keying. As you can see from the video there were technical difficulties when recording. As the lighting was not very good the camera struggled to differentiate from the horse and the background. The green screen was not very bright which also resulted in the camera not picking it up as efficiently as it normally would. Investigating in the potential use of chroma-keying, meant that we were not limited to the classroom when recording our film. We could go into caves, under sea and even in space. 

It is also important to mention that animators need to be aware of proportion of props to background. As you can see from the video, when the horse moves away from the camera the background and the horse do not blend very well together. If we were to use chroma-keying in the final piece of work, it is vital that the camera is of high quality and the backdrop is lit
