Contest Brief

I need the best rotoscoping and cleanup job for my clips, character cut out and background removed (leaving background as an alpha transparency), and green wires removed and character cleaned up. the character should also have a feathered edges of about 3-5 pixels, to better blend into a new background

The winner will be the visual artist that can provide me with the cleanest/best results.

The successful candidate may be awarded a larger contract to rotoscope the rest of my clips

Attached is the working contest clip.

    the problem is that it was not recorded in 444 but a very compressed (h264) and small lens camer (blurry, rolling shutter, etc) so even if you export it at 444 the quality will not get better, there are no visible contrast to make the key, so good luck for the winner...

      I was working on the hair detailing rotoscopy and cleanup precisely so could not submit in time

      I know since my output is best of all but it will be unfair for the artist participated in this contest.
      They have worked hard and submitted in time. And working in such a bad quality video. Cheers them to all.

      I dont have an intention to choose me for this project, I only wanted you (Contest Holder) to look once on the output we have worked.
      No any other such intentions.

      Best of Luck to the winner

    Hello there you want to remove all that and export in video not in jpg or something else. I'll be interested to see this background cleaned in video. If everything was in green is peace of cake but in this case I don't know

      That is what I am looking for. I have cleaned up a few shots already it's tedious but not too bad. And unfortunately, it is not of the best quality footage.
