Looking for cheap bluescreen/greenscreen paint

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop,rec.video.production (More info?)

Hi,

Just wondering...

Anybody ever produced a list of color number for standard easy to find at
the local hardware store kind of paint that would be good alternative to the
very expensive official bluescreen/greenscreen paint ?

I would like make myself a small home made studio with one or two walls for
chromakeying but looking at a gallon of "official" chromakey paint is more
than twice the price of standard paint.

Anyway, just taught I ask............

Thanks!

Bye!

and why dont you just use a blue or green domestic paint that looks
close to the "official" colour? use matt finish paint!

isnt the colour selection made in the switcher ? and thats adjustable
isnt it?

Good luck trying to shoot a chameleon against a chroma screen! :-)

Its the purity of the paint, not what it looks like to the human eye.
If you look at a chromakey paint on a vectorescope, you will see a
single blob of colour, "domestic paint" on the otherhand will have
several blobs of colour which makes keying more difficult.

I used to work in a small studio with a good cyc, a couple of
reasonable Sony cameras, and a GVG100 component switcher, and a
vectorscope was utterly indispensible for sorting out keying problems.

Just downloaded this demo , but have gat a video source to try it at
the mo

Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
