Another awesome vid. Man I use 'awesome' too much. haha.

One way to describe the light green dots are "visual anchors". You 'anchor' the visual effect to it, so it moves where it moves.

I was thinking of suggesting getting some cheap white cloths and some   more...

LOL Was wondering if using the Rosco paint on fabric like that would make it too stiff or not. Only one way to find out I guess. :)

Hey I was actually considering painting some of my ratty old jeans with the chroma key paint. I AM painting some shoes though!

Hi Baron!

Very cool!

Can your neighbors see you making your green screen videos? Are your neighbors Abner and Gladys Kravitz?

I work at Michael's over here on the east side! Those green felt squares looked familiar!

Next time you visit You Tube, check   more...

Only two of my neighbors (both across the street) are aware of what goes on in my kitchen and back yard (They've both experienced Tyrannovision, too!). Everyone else just knows me as a guy who has some cats. LOL

Very cool! Thank you so much for sharing your techno idea's! It is like watching Lucas perfect his filming technique! I can't wait to see more, and now I go to Wal Mart to find a ladies green jumper!

Hehe!

I know, I know, Fox...I was just giving the perspective from the typical GUY's point of view. I don't work in drag as frequently as some of my transgender friends. LOL. I will, however bring some of them on as consultants when I play the Tyrant's MOM.

It's not on the WRONG side; it's on the LADIES side!

If I coulda found a guy's sweat jacket I woulda bought it. Damn zipper's on the WRONG SIDE!!

All these wonderful ideas are going to make many other people want to go green. Thank you!

Posted Oct 8, 08 by BaronDixon
I got my start watching other people's chroma key tutorials...I'm just paying it forward.

Posted Oct 8, 08 by AnnelidaFilms
So it IS easy being green! Thank you for the never-ending wealth of techno tips.

Posted Oct 8, 08 by BaronDixon
You're entirely welcome. It's all for my video playmates who may pick up an idea or two here and there and thus giive us all more flexibility in our collaborative, as well as solo, projects.

Posted Oct 8, 08 by ElMiner
Now that was fun, entertaining and educational. l
Love it thank you for the tips

Posted Oct 8, 08 by BaronDixon
Gracias, Ese! ..and remember: I'm using the same compositing/editing software YOU're using, so what works for me should just as easily work for you on your end.

Posted Oct 8, 08 by wheresthesea
very good, leading the way on invisibility! you could become a multi-millionnaire if you can make people's work colleagues disappear lol xox

Posted Oct 8, 08 by BaronDixon
Yeah, but they need to hold still long enough for me to paint them completely green.

Posted Oct 8, 08 by happyyoda121
This is so cool...I love experiments.This one is working out really well.
I wouldn't be feeling myself either if about 90 percent of my body was missing.;-)

Posted Oct 8, 08 by BaronDixon
I'll tell ya what though....Invisibility DOES make one look slimmer!

Posted Oct 8, 08 by EddieD
very interesting..you look ready to run..thanks for the lesson

Posted Oct 8, 08 by BaronDixon
It's still in the 90's here in Phoenix, Eddie. I ain't runnin' ANYwhere in THAT suit!

Still...you would think an invisible suit would be more ventilated...I dunno...
