The "easy-ness" level of something like this depends on your familiarity with the program and with similar effects. A paint-out like this shouldn't be awful as the clip is relatively short and the camera movement isn't particularly severe. Are you interested in hiring someone to do the paint-out or hoping to complete the shot yourself?

i'd hire someone if it cost me like 5 aud or less, but i doubt someone's doing it for that price yk
this is just a student film so its not super deep

Yeah, hard to say. It's probably at least 4 hours of work to make it look nice, so you'd need someone who wants to do it just for free or for the practice! There are some good suggestions here in the comments, your best bet will be creating a clean frame, tracking it to camera, and rotoing the foreground. I'm sure there are tutorials online if you poke around!
