There is a company here in the UK that does Chroma key paint...Trouble is my biggest problem is a wall big enough!!!! LOL Cant win em all..Gonna habe to move to a bigger house, we have been talking about it so you never know.

That's why I had to build this one outdoors. Not enough space indoors. Plus I can take advantage of ambient daylight to even things out on the greenscreen area.

OOOOO I am jealous, I so much want a big wall to do this....Trouble is, I have never seen that paint for sale over here.

You can still do this with normal house paint. Just be prepared for it to take longer, that's all. Get the most saturated green you can find, like a pure green pigment, with a flat finish.

Perhaps you could Google-search something like "Rosco Chroma   more...

Looks very natural

I'm looking forward to the winter months when the sun is lower in the southern sky. Might get some interesting backlit "halo light" effects. Might be a good time to hommage ,b>Close Encounters.

looks great! Natural light is the best way to go as long as you have enough contrast between you and the green background.

Posted Sep 26, 08 by BaronDixon
Yeah, ambient daylight in the shade gives a very even tone, and as you can see, the shadows are so soft as to not really make a difference, even when I'm right up against the wall.

So I figure a combination of ambient daylight ans some proper electric   more...

even cooler. I gotta look into that stuff when I have a wall to paint.

Posted Sep 26, 08 by BaronDixon
Expect to pop for around $70.00 for a gallon of this stuff, but it GOES a LONG way in coverage, quick drying time, and time saved. It pays for itself. We haven't even used up half a can yet!

Here is another video of stuff from the same day as these chroma key wall tests! ---->

Cool, can't wait to see how it effects your acting :)

what kind of area in size did you paint?

Here's my first little piano video, just some sttuff i made up randomly on the fly one night.


Posted Sep 26, 08 by BaronDixon
I actually CAUGHT your keyboard solo there much earlier today, Jayen! I enjoyed it very much.

The painted area is approximately 7 1/2 feet high by exactly 12 feet wide. Check out the next video I just uploaded and you will see how big it is in relation   more...

Great color of Chroma Green. There at the beginning, it looked like you were being washed out a little.. when you stepped back it was a lot better. Thanks for the tips..

Posted Sep 26, 08 by BaronDixon
Yeah, I noticed that right off the bat. That fall-off from direct sunlight to the shadow area on my yellow tank top must read as green to the camera, so it keyed out in that situation. Of course, twisted mind that I am, I'm always thinking how I might   more...
