I'm currently taking a shake class and we've been working with some greenscreen footage (practicing chromakeying). But there's only so much you can do with other people's footage.
So....I've decided to do some of my own.

I'm going to piece together an uber-cheap greenscreen setup from materials I'm picking up this weekend. I've done a lot of research online, and I'm confident that I'll come close to the desired effect after some trial and error.

If anyone has any tips/tricks/advice or you want to see something greenscreened, please let me know. I'll be posting updates in here showing my progress (much like the shake thread).

*Digs out Lighting Binder #3 (I have 5..)*

Okay, i'm looking in a Rosco catalog. Rosco is a big company in supplying lighting, paint, and everything in between.

On page 54 of Rosco Cat. #43 you have Video Paint Ultimatte. They sell three different kinds of Keying paint. Ultimatte Blue, Ultimatte Green, and Ultimatte Super Blue. Green is your most expensive at $63.50 a gallon.

Breakdown is as follows:

Color Red Green Blue
Blue 22 40 82
Green 29 84 36
Super Blue 7 18 72

Link is here.
