Topic: Green screen help

I need a new green screen.
My current one consists of a large piece of fluorescent green poster board.
The problem is, it's so bright that it reflects WAY too much green back onto the model in front of it.
My question: What is the best material for chroma-keying?
Thanks!

Re: Green screen help

Right now I use a green 36" x 24" piece of foam core. It doesn't reflect onto the set / minifigs. It's not all about the screen though, it's also what software you use and how well you can chroma key and use spill suppression.

Re: Green screen help

I would have to suggest foam core ^^, felt, or cloth.

Never heard of that before.
Now thanks to google and playing with my tools I feel I've learned a value lesson today.

Thank you coolasice11

The cloth greenscreens are probably your best bet, but the foldable ones are pretty nice too. I don't usually key much though, I mainly use a greenscreen as a reference for masking. But I totally recommend the TubeTape greenscreens. They work great!

Where does one acquire foam like this, in the proper color?

Re: Green screen help

I got it for $6.99 at a local "Michael's" craft store, but if you have none of those you can probably find it any craft store.

So, I should be able to get it at Office Max?

Re: Green screen help

Maybe... We got ours at Michael's also. I think that it should be at Office Max though.
