Why would we laugh? It was pretty good.
I've never needed to greenscreen, (so far) so I have a couple of questions though.
1] Was the cloth stretched taut or just left hanging like it is shown at the end? I just wondered if the curves in the cloth interfere with keying out the colour.
2] What lighting did you use?

Many Thanks for all the kind words...
The sheet was as you saw,,,with more time I will be making it taught as I now know it works and also how to do it,,,
So yes I did find the creases would and did need sorting, they don't chroma well... I'll iron the cloth first as well.
And as for the colour,,,I went into a material shop and looked at a green colour I liked and thought might work for £4.50

Usually, the best shade of green is pure green (sometimes called 'chroma green') which has no other colours in at all.

That is fantastic!
Indeed we found that a nice taught ironed "screen" worked best. and as suggested by alan mills if you can put a filter on the light that helps blend the subject with the background it helps...
(If you know what the backgrounds going to be :P
