Ok, helping my daughter with a school project and I really need an good and fast work around for a greenscreen to chromakey. They (her and friend) will be starting the project in about 8 hours. What could I use or buy that would make for a good back ground? Type of fabric or something that I could buy at the local fabric shop....

You can use either green or blue. Green probably works best. The actors can not have anything green in their clothing. The cloth should be as pure green as you can get, and of a non reflective type. The cloth should be large enough that the actors can work at least three feet in front of the cloth. No wrinkles in the cloth. The cloth should be lit evenly and from the side in addition to the front light on the actors. This is to eliminate harsh shadows on the cloth.

Have fun.
