Is this video possible with vegas 7?

I would love to know how the flesh and body parts (hands, head) were made invisible but left what was "behind" ie: coat collar etc still in tact?

Also the last shot of the zip moving, blanks out the hand but you can just see the shadowy outline, but it seems to be removed with the zip under it still visible!?

is there an easy way to do this AND can Vegas 7 do it?? if not can anyone point me to any software that could do this sort of thing? :embarasse
 
Use the same technique you would use to remove a green or blue screen from the background, except in this example they chromakeyed out the skin color.
 
So does chromkeying out the skin colour leave the background in tact also? and can you do this in Vegas?

Thanks
 
They probably wrapped their body parts in the color they keyed out.

But no, it will not leave the background intact. All a keyer does is make all the pixels of a certain color transparent. It doesn't have any idea what's behind it in the real world.

In order to keep the background, you need to shoot more footage OF the background, and put it on a layer under the footage with the key.
