@PaulTassi It was indeed a stunt actor minus the face. I believe the the pad under the metal scraps got color shifted as well but it is mostly a practical shot.
@ChristFaulk@PoorOldRoloTony Didn't have any face scans or CG support at the time so I grabbed stills of his face from different camera positions and animated between them. Hand animated the face setup frame by frame onto the stunt guys face and then roto'd the cage bars back overtop.
@Stretchedwiener He's talked a bit about it previously.
"Would I ever take shotguns out of people’s hands in “E.T.” and replace them with flashlights or radios? No. But more power to whoever wants to make that decision."

@AIWarper We use machine learning tools every day. There's a huge difference between practical uses of new technology and posting "tHe BeSt ChRoMa KeYer" while its doing mid level work, very expensively.
@OttoBunge@SoranIsOn@AIWarper Except the concept of a "one click key" is a very real thing being referenced here as a goal. Just responding with "sEmAnTiCs" is really just showing how much of a tourist you are here.
