# 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.

# 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.

# 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.
