Now it was time to edit the green screen footage of jeff getting abducted. This involved using a process called keying. I blogged about this earlier in the project when we were taught it but I still wanted to document the progress of my own keying. Im getting the hang of keying and quite enjoying the process and generally using after effects.

Using the scatter effect I gave the impression of the actor being disolved by the alien spaceship and abducted into it. I keyed the action in the timeline then added the effect. I then made another key which changed the opacity to 0, so from the first to the second key it looks like she's been vaporised. I also changed the scatter to vertical so it looked like she was being beamed up.
I really enjoyed doing this in AE and im finding it easier to pick up than I did initially with Maya. The program is also a lot less complex than Maya in the sense that working with 2d images is easier and less can go wrong.
