Hoping someone can point me in the right direction on this technique. I need to do an fx shot where a person's hands are glowing blue. Then they touch something and the blue glow transfers to that object. This is going to have to be done over some live video that I'm going to shoot on location, so I won't really be able to do anything in the field for the fx, it's going to have to all be added in post.
Can anyone recommend any software or techniques for doing something like this? I guess what I need to be able to do is select an area of the video (by color, skin tone possibly), and be able to key something in just that area of the moving video. I think Combustion can help me create this kind of matte, but I don't think I can swing that budget-wise. Is there something more affordable like After Effects that could accomplish this kind of effect? Any links to tutorials or information on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
