limited Colour Correction

Well-known member
I'm currently in Athen's Greece and have a shot of the Pantheon which zooms in. I have managed to Colour Correct he stonework and ground to my satisfaction but I just can't get the sky corrected without it throwing all the other stuff out.

I come from a photography background and it would have been an easy task to do a dodge and burn to get the look I was after. Not sure how I can do it with video though!

Thoughts appreciated!

Indy.... In Athen's, Greece!

BTW I'm using FCP5 and Shake 4
 
If you're using Shake then pull a key from the sky using Primatte (it's my chromakeyer in Shake as 'Chromakey' sucks). It's great just to 'pen' a key by stroking over the areas you do/don't need (foreground or background), rather than choosing values. You might have to clean it up with a rotoshape as a garbage matte aswell, but then keying is all about adding multiple keys/mattes together to get the result. It's very rare you get away with just one node/key.
