EDIT: THE FINAL MANIP I SHOWED IS ONLY BLACK N WHITE TO MATCH THE BACKGROUND BUT ALSO BECAUSE THE LIGHTING WAS OFF AND MADE IT LOOK WEIRD THAT IS ALL

so, as the title states, this is a tutorial on how to use chroma keyer to make cgi manipulations, like the one in the video. cgi can be hard to work with, but if you know your way around chroma keyer and such, it can be very easy. i hope this isn't too boring and i hope it actually helps

in case the video is confusing, you want to use chroma keyer on a scene that has a background of one color, such as the campfire scene in tangled. i also utilize cookie cutter to make it look as realistic as possible. cookie cutter is mostly used to cut out secondary characters in the scene, as well as making little black splotches that makes rapunzel "un-see-through."

if anyone wants a more "complicated" manip to be shown in a tutorial like this, please let me know.

enjoy
