# While doing that I had to ask
how the hell did you clean out the background without wanting to murder her? I only did 20 frames or so and I was ready to murder her by the end of them.

# I was still ready to kill her
All I was doing was crudely pasting a head onto each frame! I guess I'm just more violent by nature than you are :)

# Well previous attempts had to be aborted
due to the quality of the video downloaded from YouTube until I discovered a better way of downloading and keeping the size at 720p - but it was a challenge sort of from Monty Propps of trying to find an easy method of background removal so I tried making Luma-Mattes but with limited results which got very frustrating and I gave up so today decide that the only thing was to get to work with the horrible task of Rotascoping luckily I'm not a total novice at this and managed it within about an hour and a half the optimisation however was a real bitch.

# Good God
I don't even know what Luma-Mattes are. Rather you than me. I'm happy just stealing your work and making ham-fisted alterations.

# luma-mattes!
sounds like a kind of glowing paint

# I think I'll paint my room in it
Sure, I'll probably give myself a lethal cancer within a year, but it'd make my room look so good.

# you can get paint made out of the glowy stuff in OLED's now
SCIENCE!

# Edumucation tiem!
A Luma Matte is based on the dark and light pixels which used to create a transparency mask for the original.
So all purely black pixels will be 100% transparent and
Pure White pixels 100% opaque you can invert this matte for the opposite effect.

# Surely that chunked massive holes in her face whichever way round you did it?
While that sounds like a fantastic idea, I'd rather do it with a chisel than on a computer.

# Well it would be used in collaboration
With a garbage matte basically a rough rotascope.
