Thank you JeffrySG for the encouragement. The greenscreen could use a little more work, for some reason using keylight sometimes results in halos around the subject. I really hate greenscreen sometimes lol.

I wish you luck on this I'm afraid my talent lies in writing so I'm about useless.

i could put together a poster, maybe. i could even use a greenscreen shot, if you have the idea developed. PM me if you're interested

MaKE SURE WHEN YOU'RE DOING YOUR GREEN SCREENING YOU HAVE IT LIT REALLYT REALLY WELL. eVEN LIGHTING IS THE KEY AND A BACK LIGHT TO HELP SEPARATE THE ACTORS FROM THE GREEN SCREEN WILL HELP TOO. THE REASON THE HALO EFFECT GETS STUCK AROUND THE ACTORS AND YOU HAVE A HARD TIME KEYING THEM OUT IS BECAUSE YOU'RE GETTING SHADES OF GREEN THAT THE PROGRAM CAN'T ISOLATE. IF YOU NEED ANY HELP PM ME AND I CAN GIVE SOME POINTERS.

Marshallator - kudos to you for having an idea and pursuing it, rather than just daydreaming about it

I'm hardly a veteran of these parts so take or leave my comments as you will, but I disagree with the assertion that you should 'go away until your production skills have reached TV broadcast level' or are 'ready to rival Spielberg and co'

Whether you are doing this for fun, or as a learning project to improve your skills in production and editting I wish you lots of luck

I'm sure you will find here help in the form of knowledge, experience and good advice - all of which will certainly be as valuable as anything material.

And it never hurt anybody to ask

wish i could help, but my skills are very rough, and animation is well....pretty much non-existant right now.

best of luck on the rpoject, and don't let anyone, not even some of the strange ones on this site, ever tell you you can't do it.

homerplooza, appreciate the offer, but I think I want to get the movie done before I consider doing posters.

Killjoy01, thanks for the advice, makes alot of sense. Unfortunately, shooting is done, and has been for some time. Lighting was horrible, shot this baby out in my garage, only light was natural sunlight, far less than ideal lol.

I'll be sure to have better lighting next time I have a greenscreen project though.

Thank you for the encouragement J3SSE and Falin, I'm too determined to quit

, even though it's far from perfect.
