A simple green screen tutorial

This shows how to use a simple green painted piece of paper to create a green screen chromakey effect in iMovie or indeed any other reasonable video editing software. Of course for better results use either green coloured paper (leaf green, or as greeny green as you can get it) and make sure the paper is well lit, preferably from both sides to combat shadowing. I used some green paint that you would let your little kid use.

This is cheap and enables you to have a go at simple chromakey on a small scale without the expense. Let me know your experiences and how you got on. Thanks!

What program did you use for making a effect ?

[Pesskie]

Great tips! How do I add still images to a moving background and which software would be best. At the moment i'm using Sam animation software.

Many thanks!
