Week 3 Lab 2

This is the final render of the two videos after I made the red less obvious:

I made use of all the methods covered in the Part 1 tutorial videos, including the plug-in tools. Making this was surprisingly easy and the masking that followed was a technique which I never actually thought of. Dealing with highly saturated colors should be easier for me from now onwards.

The only difficulty I faced was making only the Pope's robe in the second video less obvious. Unlike the first one, the second video features a lot of red color so masking was near necessity. However, the rope that is attached to his hat is also red and is on the robe in the scene. It shakes far too much to make a proper masking and the similarity in color make the rotto brush tool hard to use. So, I had to reduce the rope's saturation along with the robe.
