Green Screen Test

[Willard M]

Karri,

Here is my first effort at green screen following your instructions and the video clips. As you can see I have a way to go with the commands but am anxious to work with this more. I just put a green screen on my monitor and wave my hand in front of it, saved as separate file then pasted onto one of my pics.. Even though the green on the monitor was a solid color it did not respond to the Chroma key commands as being solid but now that I know the basics onward and upward. Thank you.

 

My first post did not go as I expected so would someone please delete that post where did the delete button go?

Nice start Willard! I think you can search Amazon for green screen material pretty cheap. Let us know how you make out

A lot of the problems with green screen are related to lighting and wrinkles. You can build a frame and stretch the green screen material over it. You should plan to light both from the front and from the sides with diffusers.

sknis. Sorry for the late reply but I have been off for awhile doing other projects. Thanks for the tips. I was wondering how to obtain a life size screen and still haven't figured that out but will keep your suggestions in mind. In the meantime I made up a blank green jpg and put it on my 46" tv. This should give me a background for head size shots video clips that I can put on cartoon character bodies. :-)
