I use blue paper.. Then in BSOL i just chose the color closest to the paper.. But Im assuming your using after effects or something with its instant chroma keying and stuff… |

Uhh… I seriously don’t get that lol.. Makes no sense. But it doesnt really mater the material IMO.. Because you can have blue paper, blue fabric, or whatever, but it will still be blue and in BSOL you chose teh color it is and stuff and you know.. So I dont think it matters that much.. I used a folder once and get nice results but I tried other folders and it wasnt as good… |

I haven’t released any films that use bluescreening, but I’ve done some tests on my own and it worked well, so you’ll have to take my word for it. I used a poster board that I found at Office Max that’s about the closest I’ve seen to chroma blue. I used it as the background during the car scene of Falling Out. I lit that scene with two 100W bulbs that were completely bare, and you can see that the background isn’t reflecting any shiny spots. There’s also hardly any change in color from one side of the frame to the other (until you see the angled shot of Blue walking up). I didn’t put any effort at all into the lighting the background evenly here, so I imagine that if I tried the results would be very good. The stuff is called “Two Cool Colors,” it’s about poster size, the colors are “FL Blue/FL Purple” (it’s two sided), and I got it at Office Max for something like $1.50. |

I used flourescent bristol board and one or two desk lamps, depending on the setup. The most difficult part I found was preventing reflections and reducing spill – the only way around that is to play around with it until it works. There’s some worthwhile info the the FAQ, too. -j |

Lets see, Blue Screening/Chromakeying. Acctauly if you use a green screen it works much better due to the way it reflects the light. (assumeing you are using a grey bace plate) Oh well, anyway about the accual screen. CWRProductions 8) Email me for more in depth instructions |

I would NOT recommend buying through the site suggested. Not only doesn’t it have any kind of reference as to who runs the place, but also does the site provide absolutely no security. Even if, theoretically, you would eventually be able to acquire the promised products, there’s no way it could be legal. And there’s no way to contact whoever is behind this. (Well, there is, but it’s not easy). Stefan. |

I’ve been doing a lot of testing with green screen cloth and here is what I’ve found and learned: |

I use adobe photo shop for my “blue screening”. I try to shoot against an even background, then I cut it out for each frame in Photoshop. This means the color is irrelevant, I just try to find something that isn’t close to the Lego’s I am filming. |
