Not really, of course. This is my Color Correction & Keying final. Thanks go to my wife for once again generously agreeing to take part in the shot.

I used Nuke for both the keying and compositing, the video was shot with a Panasonic HVX200, and the backplate with a Canon Rebel XT. Thanks to Ian Morrell for the use of his portable greenscreen.

I was assigned a simple chroma-keying exercise in Motion Graphics II. Since I had little else due, I decided to take it a bit further than that. I am one of the soldiers, the other is Seth Lawrey. Muzzle flashes and fog from a footage collection by Andrew Kramer of Videocopilot.net. Costumes by John White. Miniature terrain built by me, Ruth Mentzer, John White, Sebastian Hernandez, Tim Mohatt, Seth Lawrey, Nick Person, Alan Province and instructor Todd Debreceni. Guns by Todd Debreceni. Sky provided by Cgtextures.com. The composite was done in After Effects CS4.
