bluescreen help

[jellz77]

i want to start doing bluescreen type stuff. just a sheet in back of me and thats where i left off. any tutorials/tips to bluescreening?

light it evenly, don't wear anything blue.

bear in mind that edges of anything "fine" like hair will be flickery to a degree. Use bald people where possible.

Keep the sheet as flat as possible. If you can, get a few swatches of fabric to test it against, see which one works better. Make sure the fabric is totally matt rather than having any shine.

Well, I'd say keep the sheet as flat as can be, then make sure you're not wearing any blue clothing. Now, I'd use After Effects for the bluescreen removing. If you don't know how to remove it, go (in After Effects)under Effects, Keying, Color Key. Click on the color picker tool by the solid color, and select your bluescreen. Select the color tolerance, and set it to a high tolerance, but not high enough so it removes you from the shot. Happy bluescreening!

does it matter if u use blue screen or green screen?

[mrlipring]

not particularly. Depends what's going to be in front of the screen, obviously.

I've used a greenscreen, iirc, and the results were great.
