# I like your green screen. I have a greenscreen back drop but I have had very poor results
It needs a good iron to smooth out the creases but do you have any good tips out of getting a perfect key. I have some Portrait Photography Flash head and I use the modelling light on them to light the backdrop as well as a couple of halogen lamps. But no matter how much light I get on the cloth it's always a pain to key.

# it's all about the lights
I've done lots of different things / lighting set ups and really found that knowing how to use keylight in after effects is huge. I have salvaged a lot of shitily lit footage with tricks in keylight & saturating the footage first, then keying the subject & using the alpha channel to re key the unsaturated footage. But really just get powerful lights and you can't go wrong. I recommend these collapsible screens to avoid wrinkles ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31BJBfpbUWL.jpg
otherwise paint the wall. I found on DVX forum some guy figured out the ultimate green shade to buy at local paint store that absourbs the most red light. then I built the mega screen. genericversatility.com/joggingpantsboner/GARAGEsm.jpg
