Right, so I've finally embarked on videos beyond Lost, and I love The Prisoner more than Lost; it is what I hoped Lost would evoke. So, behold. I am not sure if it is sacrilegious to make a video using this show, but I think it turned out well, and at least it's a fairly unusual show to do this to!
Music: Elvis Costello (off Armed Forces)
Show: The Prisoner, 1967-68
Spoiler-free save for brief shots from a few non-finale episodes ("The Chimes of Big Ben," "Free for All," and "Many Happy Returns") that you need to have seen to know they're spoilers.
Lyrics:
Spoiler:
There's a smart young woman on a light blue screen
Who comes into my house every night
And she takes all the red, yellow, orange, and green
And she turns them into black and white
But you tease, and you flirt
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt
You can please yourself but somebody's gonna get it
Better cut off all identifying labels
Before they put you on the torture table
'Cause somewhere in the quisling clinic
There's a shorthand typist taking seconds over minutes
She's listening in to the Venus line; she's picking out names
I hope none of them are mine
But you tease, and you flirt...
Never said I was a stool pigeon
I never said I was a diplomat
Everybody is under suspicion
But you don't wanna hear about that
'Cause you tease, and you flirt...
Better send a begging letter to the big investigation
Who put these fingerprints on my imagination?
You tease, and you flirt...
You can please yourself but somebody's gonna get it
I will give a cookie to anyone (Paul?) who knows why I've credited Patrick McGoohan as Paddy Fitz at the end, too.

I have a clip of a woman wearing a green shirt. I would like to figure out how to grayscale everything, including her, except for her green shirt -- I know how to remove the green, but how would you suggest I keep the green, so as to grayscale everything else? It doesn't need to be 100% split, but just enough to emphasize the color of the shirt.
If this can be done with just filters, no masks, it will be even better, so I don't have to isolate movement. Thanks!
PS: I think Channel Blend is the way to do this, just can't figure out the equation!
