Chroma Key Effect Potential

[UnSource]

Quick question for all the Coreler's here,

For chroma keying, I'd like to have lets say a picture in the background (easy, no big deal here), BUT, for the silhouette of the figure remaining in the chroma key, is it possible to black it out? Like have a black figure against a picture etc.? Extending from that, would it be possible to have an image being revealed wherever the figure moves. For example, a picture of a lion, the chroma key figure reveals the image of the lion depending on where the chroma key figure is in the frame?

Example: the lion's head is at the top right, tail at bottom left - if the figure moves to the top right, you see the lion's head then as you move towards the bottom left, you'd see the body until you get to the tail. Unless your hand was sticking to the top right, you would only see the tail at the bottom left by the end of your movement.

If I'm not being clear hit me up.

The lack of replies might suggest you are beyond the knowledge of most of the users with that requirement - I can't think of any way to take a video and turn a moving figure only black - may be you need to film your figure dressed all in black against a background first and then chroma key on the black figure over the image of the lion.

Are you expecting the lion image to remain visible after the figure has passed over it ? - might be difficult.

rather sounds as though it could be a quite complicated process of multiple passes and even editing some individual frames - don't know - don't have any positive suggestions to offer.

Hi

I didn’t reply simply cos I did not seethe post till Brian replied and brought it to the top. I must admit I usually look for unanswered posts.

Anyway are you trying to have an effect like using a pair of binoculars panning around the video frame?
