It looks great! Congrats, and you didn't even have to paint your wall! Interested to hear your findings once you go full-motion, full-resolution...

Thanks jmac

I still want to paint my wall in the garage and try and finding a matching fabric for the floor.


And if anyone is interested, I found Walmart to be a gold mine for do it yourselfers. I found black light flourenct lights for 8 bucks on sale. You can replace the bulbs out for white ones for like 2 bucks each.

I probably only need four of these to get the right lighting. I 'll document it as soon as I clean out the garage. But this screen I build only goes down to my knees. I want a full body shot.

I just got back from Jo-Anne Fabrics here in St. Petersburg and purchased a 6ft x 12ft roll of fabric that's the closest thing I could find to chroma green for only $19 and change.

I'm going to shoot some test footage and post the results here if anyone wants to see it.

Problem viewing your movies

Fairly simple and cheap design. I've seen portable greenscreens sitting outside of Austin Studios a few times and they don't look any different than this.

I tried to watch the sample greenscreen movies on that page but it kept crashing my browser. What video codec did you use?

quicktime says: On2 VP3 Video...which I've never heard of.

Here's the promised screenshot of the el-cheapo greenscreen tests.

It looks promising, but I haven't rendered any video yet... I will when I can get home)

[I know the lighting sucks, but I woke up late and threw this together in a few minutes]

So far, so good!!

If I can get this to work properly, I have an idea for a film that I can probably do in ALL greenscreen.

I don't know how common the furniture store IKEA is in the USA, but they have a very cheap green fabric called "DITTE" which is widley used by indies in Germany for greenscreen work.

A bit more professional and definately more costly is the greenscreen we are using for our work. You can see some pictures in this thread:
JENSEITS greenscreen shooting

You can download a short clip here (PAL DV) to test the quality.

The tripods and other gear are from Manfrotto (BOGEN in the US).
