  @johnebaker Hi Kate. I have one other thought to add to Johns and my own thoughts based on your comment. Since i'm filming outside surrounded by bushes or on the field surrounded by cows i luckily i have no bouncing of colors happening from the

  RE: chroma key: how to get rid of green or grey fringe around the subject
  @kate-m Hi I agree with @CubeAce on the need for substantial support/bracing for large green screens in even the slightest breeze. Other issues arise from the mixing of daylight with artificial lighting eg: In sunlight or bright overcast days the

  @kate-m Hi Kate. What they don't show you is the amount of braces and stage weights or sandbags at the back of those panels for outside work. Don't underestimate the amount of force in even a slight breeze on such a large surface area. Unless you

  RE: chroma key: how to get rid of green or grey fringe around the subject
  @kate-m Hi Katie. Only in photography I'm afraid but even there soft boxes are the way to go for even light distribution of background. It is always better for the camera to be closer to the person than the person to the green screen. So say camera

  Hey Ray, i have experimented with a Panasonic HDC-SD300 and it has a 43mm lens. It already makes a difference to my 50mm lens for my Sony, in that i would need a bigger green screen, because i have to scoot in closer to the green screen, so it's all

  RE: chroma key: how to get rid of green or grey fringe around the subject
  @kate-m Hi Kate. I wouldn't think from what you describe that you would need a very expensive lens. Just a lens that can be stopped down to about f5.6 without too much vignetting. (purple fringing). That way focus will not be as critical as you will

  Hey Ray, actually the background will be sand paintings i have painted and photographed, so i will tell the story in front of sand paintings that depict it, and they have the color of sand. Therefore you are right, the background will not be blurry

  RE: chroma key: how to get rid of green or grey fringe around the subject
  @kate-m Hi Kate. I'm curious about a few things. If you are doing all of this for a green screen recording of yourself, why the need for the wide aperture. Not only is it making the focusing issue harder but it is not needed for the cinematic

  Hey Ray, John thanks for all your comments and nice pictures, Ray :-) Yes, a dedicated camcorder seems like a good idea. One that is best for green screen. It would have to have a good auto focus, or else i focus on the place where i will act and

  Hey Ray, thanks so much for your important insights. I just love the cinematic look of my bigger sensor. On a green screen tutorial i saw someone talk about using a 25mm lens (i'm using 50mm). Maybe i should get a 25mm one? And the T lens sounds

  Hey John EB, yes, my hair is loose and flyaway, which looks good for the characters i'm playing in front of the green screen. But now that you mention it, i may buy a wig to avoid this problem.

  @kate-m Hi Kate. The Sony Alpha II is a full frame camera and good at both stills and video. The problem for video is it is it being full frame. Meaning that compared to an APS-C sized sensor (the next sized sensor down for Digital interchangeable

  Hey Ray, thank you for all your good detailed information :-) I'm filming at 1/100 with 50 frames/sec, because i've heard on a green screen tutorial, that that's a good idea. And it has improved things. The lighting on the green screen and on me (as

  @kate-m Hi Kate. When using a DSLR or mirror-less camera that uses interchangeable lenses, using f stops of above f5.6 can increase exposure times in less than bright sunshine. Also when you get above f5.6 on a lot of cheaper zoom lenses you can get

  @kate-m Hi Kate. Then there is not much more you can do within Movie Edit Pro (MEP) as far as I'm aware. Daylight is seldom perfect despite being even and a higher frame rate does not always mean a shorter exposure time for each frame, so movement
