Green Screen Progress

This is how far i've got with this whole green screen malarky. I've come to realise that the lighting was the best for the green screen as the left hand side is more lit than the right hand side. This makes for a lot of shadows and completely messes up the keying in Motion.

My first attempts looked shocking, quite frankly. The movement from the cards and the shadows that they cast when moving through the air caused a lot of problems. So this morning i sat through the whole scene, going through it frame by frame and taking out the movement of the cards leaving the cards appearing on the table. So the footage you see below is from stop motion, if you can't tell.

So, this is how far i've got with it. I think it looks awful and it's going no-where near the final edit at this stage. However, maybe putting it back into Final Cut and putting a filter on it or something, i don't know.....

Once again, if anybody reading this knows anything let me know. Infact, i should start by asking is anyone reading this full stop.
