# Oh Sheep you are so much my After Effects hero
I've just purchased a Chroma Green Screen and 2x 150 watt Halogen lamps to light it - any tips on getting a good key?

# run around nekkid in front of it
chroma difference b/w skin and green felt is superb

# Oh Crumbs.. Where to Start?
It needs to be very well/brightly lit, erm... light actors separately from the screen if you can. I did have a good link, but I can't find it now. Will Gaz you if I find it.

This is handy too

# That looks to be just the ticket thanks everso much
I've done numerous Google searches but it almost felt like good Chroma tips are very well guarded secrets.

That's exactly what I found too. Good luck, looking forward to seeing some more of your stuff!

# I wish I could have a bit of your imagination too
some of the videos you do are very technically advanced. BTW what camcorder do you use? I've bought a Canon HF100 HD camcorder.

# I've seen some stuff on youtube too
so even without the software you might pick up technique if you search for fxhome stuff.
