Does anyone have an actual "green screen" drop cloth for taking pictures that could be borrowed at some point?
If not, i guess I can find a bright, obscurely colored sheet or something.
Green screen
General 'help wanted' and 'for sale' notices minus the ubiquitous 'free kittens' posts.

if you go to a fabric store... they have bins with what they call "remnants"... I think. Anyway, mostly it's scraps. But sometimes it's it's a whole roll of some nasty fabric that nobody wants for like fifty cents a yard. I'll bet there's plenty of bright green selections in those remnants bins.
They call me Dollar Bill 'cause I always make sense.
Hey Wes, if you are looking for a green screen to key out the backgroud, you might not actully need a "green" screen.
In fact, people used to use "blue" backgrounds -- until they saw that the bright blue color added a weird tint to the skin tones of people standing in front of it, making them look sick. Bright, flourescent green is now used bc it tends to make the skin tones look healthier.
Untimately all you really need is a flat, well lit area that is a solid color. If the subject is not wearing that color, you can easily "key" it out that color by selecting and removing it.
