Comments on: What Material To Use For Greenscreen? http://anarchyjim.digitalanarchy.com/adobe-photoshop-plugins/what-material-to-use-for-greenscreen/ Wherein Jim Tierney rants and opines about After Effects, Photoshop, and other nonsense Fri, 30 Sep 2011 11:46:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Jeff Foster http://anarchyjim.digitalanarchy.com/adobe-photoshop-plugins/what-material-to-use-for-greenscreen/comment-page-1/#comment-9895 Jeff Foster Tue, 06 Apr 2010 17:14:07 +0000 http://anarchyjim.digitalanarchy.com/?p=1057#comment-9895 Jim - some good info indeed. Of course it's tougher when you need your subject to actually walk on the green screen surface and maintain proper lighting balance. As any pro will tell you, the best surface hands-down is paint; but this requires a cyc wall and a studio with a permanent installation if you're shooting full-length shots. If portability is the issue, then I would suggest the Digital Green Lycra material from Composite Components Company (<a href="http://www.digitalgreenscreen.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.digitalgreenscreen.com/</a>) - they also have the best paint and tape options as well as full-body suits for VFX work. Their material is very wrinkle-resistant and stretches taught on a frame easily.. the best I've found for portability. There are many issues on background materials and lighting that you need to consider - especially when you're shooting stills with so much more detail than a standard HD video camera may be a bit more forgiving. Cheers, Jeff Jim – some good info indeed. Of course it’s tougher when you need your subject to actually walk on the green screen surface and maintain proper lighting balance.

This is great information. By the way, the link in the newsletter did not work, so I was happy that you also had the link on the home page. Thanks for the heads up! This is great information.
