Hi, welcome to my video tutorial on how to set up a green screen for £5.99 without the use of lights.

you will need:
A lime green shower curtain ( http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360219884768&ssP... )
A camera
Sony Vegas (recommended) ( trial at http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/download/trials/Vegaspro ) or any other chroma key software
Tripod (Optional) ( http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180334339219&ssP... )

The links contain the items that I use, if the links to Ebay die then just search lime green shower curtain and camera tripod in the Ebay search.

The link for the cool moving backgrounds are here ( http://www.ignitemotion.com/ ) and some basic one here ( http://www.hitthebongo.co.uk/videofx/2005/09/video-loop-effects.html )

There is no need for special lighting, just use natural sun light if possible.

Hope this video helps you with setting up your green screen

  • Sony Vegas 9

  • Does it work with just lime green colours. For example lime green paint.

  • @AdamPaulAshby

    Lime green is the best as it is the furthest colour away from out skin tone. but blue also works well. green is the most common colour used. lime green paint will work fine also.

  • hey where did you get the shower curtain??

  • ebay , search

    IKEA 100% PEVA BATHROOM SHOWER CURTAIN *LIME GREEN* NEW

  • i did a similar thing to hang in a rope in my room,both a blue shower curtain(for videos) and a white for photography :)) its good!!!!!!Except from the creases :( what can i do?any ideas????

  • @jams354 It will do however you dont need a brilliant cam for this to work. But HD cam would work better than a standard cam.

  • Great video keep up the good work.

  • dang, at first i spent $15 on green bristol board (but it didnt work right becuase it was too dark green) then I bought $15 worth of fluorescent green bristol board .. (which it worked!!!) but i wish i just watched this...couldve saved $25

  • Thanks alot man, you helped me a lot. I finally did my first green screen.
