    Keying and rotoscoping LazyTown Extra

    Shots from the television series LazyTown Extra - Stephanie

    Tech-info: Keying and rotoscoping, as well as room enhancements and adjusting the color of the floor. The room was all 3D except the floor where the girls were standing on. Keying was difficult because the girls were pale and reflected green on their skin, and the pink costumes caused the motion blurred edges to become flesh toned. Done in Fusion software.
    Info by Sigurjon F. Gardarsson (Compositor at LazyTown, 2008)​​

    The reflected green on the skin was best seen in close-ups.

    In all seriousness, it's cool learning this stuff. I would think everyone involved with the tech would have little tricks to make keying easier. Well, at least I do little tricks to make art easier (although it's not the same)

    I don't know much about keying, but I actually know a little bit about rotoscoping

      Is that why some of them have magenta patches on their faces in the close up photo?

        Such advanced technology 16 years ago. Hmm.

          It's the easier of the two. Though I tend to prefer using the linear color keying.
          Gives more control on getting rid of the green screen.

          Using After Effects as an example

          After selecting the linear color keying, you get your
          options. The dropper for picking the color you want to mask out.
          The matching tolerance default is 0% I slide
          it around until right before the skin tone gets affected.
          Then I'll use roughen edges to smooth out the edges of the
          characters.

              What's the point of doing that when you aren't filming in 3D!?

              That's the sort of technique one uses to get that really good popping out of the screen.

                I find movies in 3D kinda useless. Spy Kids 3-4 were 3D and 4D. Was the first one 1D??

                  Depends on what 3D you are talking about. Passive 3d as in theaters and most tv or the Active 3d in projectors.
                  The active 3d is far superior. My entire home theater is designed about it. You get that extra dimension of actually
                  being there.

                    It looks cool. That's the point.

                    Also, I forgot this, and I was actually shocked that they weren't there.
