Hello,
I just tried out what I said and found an easier way.
Shoot the video on a green screen, of yourself.
Place a white color board on timeline 1 and the video of youself on timeline 2
Do a chromakey for green and now you have youself in color on a white background. Produce the video.
Next start again with a video of a street scene on timeline 1 and your new video on timeline 2
do a chroma key for white and the color you appears on the scene.
Now reduce the saturation of timeline 2 to zero and voila, you are now greyscale and the backdrop scene is color and can be a movie or a picture. No matting required and you can move around if you wish.
The secret is the white background whih remains white evn when you reduce the saturation.
Wish I had tried it first instead of my earlier response.
