Running test footage for the new spaceship. So far, the green and blue background screens failed with the metallic brass. I just got a new black background screen and will conduct tests this coming weekend. Black is used for pyrotechnics effects like in Video Co-Pilot. I have a feeling this will work. See what I mean below with this failed test.
Black could work, although you are still going to get black reflected in the brass. With blue or green you would also need to do some roto work because that's just the way it is with shiny surfaces. You could do rear/front projection. That would be fun. This tut has some stuff in it. Some of the results are better than others. But hey. Just a thought.
