A big boy's playground. Too cool. Wouldn't you need to have the carpet on something very solid to limit 'wrinkles' while walking?

Posted Oct 16, 08 by DavidProper
Nice. Had wondered about that. But i guess if the ground is as hard and level as possible, it wouldn't have *that* many issues.

Man i can't wait to see what ya do with this backyard backlot. SHould be awesome. arg. There's that word again. haha

That's the beauty of that carpet: It doesn't wrinkle the way a muslin greenscreen would. Yeah it's a little wavy here and there, but it still keys out nicely.

I am liking this idea. Does the paint on the back of the carpet remain flexible enough to not crack when you roll it up or unroll it after a period of time? That would be my only concern.

Posted Oct 7, 08 by BaronDixon
Yes it does! Now, I must admit that "a period of time", in MY view, hasn't transpired yet. However I have rolled up and unfurled this carpet several times and so far it's taking the beating very nicely!

Given whatever 4 coats of drywall primer costs out of pocket, plus the time it took to paint the carpet, wouldn't it have been better to just order a screen frm tapetube.com?

Posted Oct 7, 08 by BaronDixon
The other goal I'm attempting to accomplish with these videos is to inspire other users who, like me most of the time, may not have the financial resources to order a professional greenscreen package all at once.

Part of the fun of doing it THIS way more...

Got one! LOL. Twenty-footer!

Besides...sometimes I just gotta physically MAKE something, and the experience of doing it helps my creative juices flow. The beauty o fTHIS setup is that it will take the abuse of heavy action better than the flimsy muslin more...

Cool!...I bet your going to have lot's of fun with that.
Just a thought...Would a curved intersection where the horizontal meets the vertical...help eliminate the shadow?

Posted Oct 7, 08 by BaronDixon
I also have an additional emergency resource: Bright fluorescent green Duct Tape! It keys out beautifully, biut it is rather shiny, so I have to be very careful about reflections from lights, otherwise I have these little white hot spots that don't more...

Actually, that's never been a problem for me, Fred. I have found that digital video chroma key can be very forgiving that way. Especially in post-production where I have a couple of tricks to get around problem areas. If there's enough light spilling more...

"This Old Greenscreen"

Posted Oct 6, 08 by KrisInteract
Oh man you mean I have to wait again to see you use the Bloody thing!!!
I would never have thought of using a carpet as a greenscreen mat... Guess what I'm doing on the weekend?!?

Posted Oct 7, 08 by KrisInteract
I thought that was your better looking twin.

Posted Oct 6, 08 by BaronDixon
Actually, if you look at the PREVIOUS video where I'm actually painting the carpet green, I chroma keyed footage from THIS video on there! Heh-heh!
