very good the keying looks ok but there is a bit of difrence bwtween the bg and forground.
what method did you use for keying

 

I used DaftMaul's tutorial for after effects 5.5. Ill work on the color of the faces a little .........thanks man

That movie downloaded as a text file and opened in notepad. I had to rename it as a .mov file for it to work.

I think the contact flashes are far too small.

 

It won't work for me even if I rename it to .mov. Any help, anyone?

Thanks,
Aaron

Try opening it from quicktime directly. Set file types to "All files" and then open it.

Did you use photoshop lense flare for the contact flashes? If so, get rid of the lens flare and enlarge the flash itself.

Other wise it looks good, great job in keying it. Did you color correct the foreground at all?

 

I used some basic trial version of knoll light factory to do the lens flares.....i cant get rid of the ring (which angers me) but I do agree that it needs to be brighter. I did add some red midtones and pulled back on the blue highlights in the foreground. The still pic looks awesome......i guess i have a little tinkering to do with the clip. Thanks guys for your replys. Not bad for my first try.....maybe ill really impress you with some new tricks i got up my sleeve.
