Hey guys...

I'm wanting to start experimenting with chroma key a bit to do a couple of things with my video...I'm probably just going to get my backdrop from a fabric store or the craft dept. at Walmart...what color is the easiest to work with or what should I get....

If interested in my Cyberlink produced vids...here's a link:

Chroma-key should be BRIGHT green or blue. I had a green muslin screen that was not vivid enough and it caused me alot of grief.
I believe green is best for dark haired subjects, and blue for blondes.
I went to TUBETAPE.com and purchased a nice screen with 2 stands.
Wrinkles, BAD
uneven lighting BAD
crappy camera BAD.
You'll have to experiment, wrinkles and waves are the worst.
Be sure to pull your screen flat flat flat!
