Keying technique I’m certain someone has had a more challenging roto job than the one on which I’m working... But not by much.

Four people waving their hands/arms... And often across their own faces/bodies etc... Need I say more...

Thankfully Rotobrush has done a GREAT job on the simple-medium stuff. This has saved me hours, if not days.

The last challenge that I have is the hair of a girl in the wind. I cannot hand-roto this, I have to find a way to make some kind of matte to catch the edges.

The hair goes from brown to blonde and the background is predominantly gray/neutral. This is the only hope I have of finding some difference between the fore- and back-grounds.

Can anyone suggest a technique and combo of plug-ins? I’m sure many of you here have fought this battle before.

Many thanks.
