what's a challening extraction?

Hi,

I happened to see a job posting someone sent me (by mistake) and it said compositers were required to perform "challenging extractions".....

can anyone tell me what that is please?
thanks

I would take challenging extractions to mean a challenging blue/green/chromakey. IE, bad lightning, track marks, wavy arms ala motionblur. It can be done, but it's a challenge, and to top it all off, when people see the resulting composite, they'll say... SO?

:D

lol....I already get that with some of my work! It'll take me forever to do something, and somone will say, "oh you should try this, this, or this" even though I just learned how to do what I showed them!


Thanks for the tip about extraction, now it makes sense
thanks
