Top 9 Tools for On Set Live Chroma Keying

When it comes to the world of chroma key technology, there are many factors that go into a great key. There are specific lighting scenarios, the types of green or blue screens, your camera, the amount of skill you possess, and second most importantly… the software you use. We are going to take a look at nine of the most useful pieces of software out there to make your life that little bit easier when it comes to checking your keys in real time, or checking out the mattes to make sure that the footage you are shooting is going to be the easiest to work with in post. Ultimatte is one of the heavy hitters in this niche of the market. Lots of new studios and shows like The Soup, Tosh.0, and really any other show that tapes live on television with green screen walls probably uses this software/hardware combo. http://www.thepixelart.com/top-tools-on-set-live-keying/

Audi : Paper Liberation | jordibares

http://www.jordibares.com/2011_07_19/audi-paper-liberation/ This is one of those jobs that pushes our technical tricks to the limit, from the shoot itself that required lots of time and effort to the actual paper carving and of course, paper landing in a natural way but directable and for this we used every single tool under the sky, from XSI to Maya to Houdini, from Zbrush to… anyway… almost all of them. And on the journey I had the luck to work again with extremely talented people that managed their chunk in a such a brilliant way the whole project was a breeze. Starting with a studio shoot we planned to build a rig for the camera and also a air sucking device so we could get in camera as much as possible and instead of doing a fully CG job just substitute the backgrounds with live action from a location shot… the result as spectacular when working at high speeds and highly poetic imagery although every time we needed to lift a lot of paper the air sucking device was limiting us a lot.
