OK, so I am not sure what all I am going to do with this stuff but I bought a huge green screen, tons of professional lighting, and HD camera with mic. What now? With video becoming more and more popular I wanted to jump in and sharped my skills.

Any pointers or suggestions post here please.

Something like this might be a good starting point.

Thats exciting! Not as exciting as the bad boy dance but cool none the less. I'm interested to hear if anyone has any green screen experience as well! I tried it out for a sale we're running at www.holytruck.ca by taping a bunch of green construction paper to my basement wall and lit it all up with 3 halogen construction lights...

I have some experience using Adobe programs so I downloaded the AfterEffects demo and was surprised to find out it wasn't overly difficult to use for the very basic stuff i was trying to achieve. I would suggest trying it out, Adobe is nice enough to let you try it for 30 days without obligation and it's stupid powerful and in depth. To key out the green I downloaded a great plugin called Keylight that worked well even with my ghetto setup!(free download here)

Where did you get your supplies from? I'd like to invest into a better solution that doesn't involve my wife going crazy over tape on the walls.

I think I've seen that guy in a car dealership before.

I bought it all from TubeTape Home Page. I shopped around and they have the best prices with excellent reviews. That video was pretty good. You used construction paper? Thats crazy!

Ryan, I have some tubetape compositelab software myself. Never did get around to using it.

Nice Ryan. The only thing left to do is practice, practice, practice.

IMO, the secret to ChromaKey is making it add to the story. Mitch's GreenScreen background fit the hype perfectly!
