Where can you get a green screen fit for brickfilming?

If you mean a program, then Stop Motion Pro has a Chroma Key tool. If you mean the screen itself, then a regular green piece of paper will do.
Ah, but of course! Thanks.
You're welcome, but did you mean the software or the screen itself?
iStopmotion, IMO, has terrible GreenScreening ability. Try an actual software centered around greenscreen.
If you mean the screen itself, then a regular green piece of paper will do.
Just my opinion but I don't think a piece of paper is not matte enough to key properly in any program. You need an evenly lit bright piece of material like cloth or something else.

Actually, it depends on the kind of paper you use.

True, but in general your average piece of green paper isn't going to be the perfect green screen.

I've gotten some fantastic keys with a simple piece of green card, and that's without even paying attention to proper lighting.
I use Adobe Affter Effects.

Now that's the green you want! My greenscreen wasn't very good, it was just a green book. However it was too close to the color yellow which caused some problems. Some times a blue screen is better because it's further away from yellow colorwise.

Then I would buy large posters in several colors. In most cases, the color and the right is not illuminate correctly.
I've done wrong in the beginning
I am not English
It really depends on your program. If you're using free or inexpensive software, to achieve the best results, you will need to be careful what type of screen you use, as well as making sure it's evenly lit. Although, it's best to do this with any software you use, but it's especially important for the less powerful.
I've been able to use blue poster board with pretty good results. Cloth screens are good as well, it just can be a chore to keep the wrinkles out. If you tighten it across a board, like I've done in the past, you can get some pretty awesome keys.
Hope that helps,
