How can I edit out orange tips of airsoft guns in video editing?

[rayistfaaku]

I know it\'s illegal to remove orange tips off of air soft guns, that\'s why I want to know how I can edit them out with an editing system. Chroma keying won\'t work and I can\'t find anything that can help. I know some of today\'s film makers probably have the money to buy REAL guns but I doubt they really do just for a movie.

At the very least, you should be able to key out, or roto, and color correct the orange tips to black or something closer to teh color of the gun(s). It may take you sometime, but if you\'ve got the patience and the time it should work out fine.

Using a combination of chroma keying and roto will work just fine
