My first attempt at green screen. Man, it's hard work. But a lot of fun!

I think the key edges are still too sharp. With which software do you do this?
Maybe there is an option to blur the edges.
Also try to color correct your footage. In this case you can try to create a day-to-night effect (less saturation, more blue).
That will support the realism.

Thanks for the advice. I use fcp 4.5.

Film set up was pretty basic. Just a light and a green t-shirt!

I'll try your suggestion with the edges.

As for lighting - I'm always worried that everything will play way too dark on a pc.

Thanks again.

"Just a light and a green t-shirt!"

I'm impressed.

Don't know much about green screen but I will write down these tips jus in case. Anyone else have tips on this matter?

Very cool! I'm interested to see what else you can do with this technique...
