Usually you will only want to disintegrate one thing within your image rather than the whole image. In this case we disintegrated only the head. This was easy because we had a green screen to isolate the head. If you don’t have a green screen you would need to isolate the thing you wanted to disintegrate in another way, typically with a hand drawn matte.
Thanks again Simon for this excellent tutorial . I purchased the Hawaii Keyer , looks great indeed . Just to complete my exercise would you mind to share the footage of Danny with the green screen as background ?
Great, thanks very much for buying Hawaiki Keyer! I will put a link to the footage (and background) in the comments but you can also find it here: tokyo-uk.com/Motion/DannyKey.zip
Quick question... looking back over YT tutorials I see that this will appear in FCP, say as a green screen version, and a blue screen version. Is there a way to use something else, say Luminance as a key? Say for instance there was no green/blue screen but maybe a white/pale background, or a black/dark background. Would HK4.5 be able to do at least something under these circumstances? Thanks in advance...!
Hawaiki Keyer is a dedicated green and blue screen keyer so will not give you a luminance key. We do have a really rather amazing Multikeyer in the works that will incorporate more keying options than any other keyer on the market - I can't say any more about it right now but it's quite something. But if you're looking at a simple Luma Keyer there is one built into Motion in the Keying section of the filters library. That could be made to work for this kind of project if you had a character on a white background - it might need quite a bit of clean-up though depending on the whiteness of the background and the content of the foreground. Having said that for this project you can to some degree get away without a very precise matte and there is a lot you could do with a simple rotoshape for the head.
@@SimonUbsdell OK. Thanks for getting back to to me so quickly. As i probably won't be using green screens, myself, this sounds promising. I have tied teh luminance Meyer in FCP for something but gave up, partially because i don't think i quite understood teh controls, maybe, but really struggled to get anything worthwhile. PS at least you got back to me... having a real problem with my hosting company, who are seemingly incapable of coordinating support tickets or acting upon them!
Now I want to make a T-shirt for all VFX artists that says Gamma Slamma!
so does our video we want to disintegrate need to have been created with a green screen? Can I use the disintegration on any type of video?

Dear Simon thanks for your quick reply , unfortunately the link generates a 404 error not found (tried in safari and google chrome)
Ah, sorry, my mistake. Try this: tokyo-uk.com/Motion/DannyKey.zip
Thanks, in the meantime I found out . I discovered your website Tokyo productions , I am truly impressed with the work you have already done . Chapeau
Thank you very much.
