Acetate animation experiment with Green screen

I tried using green screen for the first time by animating the monkey acetate frames on a green background. I’m a slight technophobe (which is why I wanted to develop this part of my practice!) so I have always been a bit scared of green screen, and am very impatient with learning video editing software!

After using the chroma key to remove the green background (see video on the right), I layered up the monkey animation in the editing software with some old collages I did ages ago, just to experiment with putting in a different background (see second video). I quite like the effect of the collage background, though the monkey himself is quite patchy after I removed the green background from the animated frames. I’m finding it interesting, even though it’s out of my comfort zone, and I wonder how it could look to be animated against a photo or film.
