Details for
2nd quality listing
of chromakey green option:
These are being offered at 1/2 price.  This product will contain slight color imperfection which occurred during manufacturing on one side of the fabric every several feet.  It will NOT affect your ability to key out the backdrop and add a virtual backdrop.  Imperfections range from very light 1"x3" to 20"x2" lines as shown in the example photographs.  They appearance is no greater than what a standard wrinkle would look like with traditional fabrics.
These will ship rolled
without the inner core (unless added as an option above) in a tube to prevent creasing, so they are ready to use straight out of the box, no need to press or steam before first use.
Shipping note:
If you select USPS Priority Mail- Due to the irregular packaging size, the USPS has to physically process the container rather than scan through the standard conveyor belt (to avoid damage).  Many times, they will not scan the tracking bar code and no updates will show until much later in the process or at delivery.  The physical handling may also causes delays in delivery.  If you need the item quickly and want to see updated tracking, we strongly recommend UPS shipping.
Spot clean only.
Actual color may vary from your screen representation based on display settings.
Sample swatches are available to order.

The Green Advantage
As a rule of thumb, when dealing with digital footage and non-linear editors and compositor, green is always the best choice.  There are many advantages to using digital green over digital blue.
The primary reason we use green is because green is the color that is furthest away from human flesh tones.  Also most cameras use a light capturing technology that “samples” colors and light.  However, with the way color sampling works out, there is almost always a better sampling of green than its counter primary colors blue and red.  This has always been a limiting factor for storage and transmission of color data.
Whenever possible, stick to
Digital Green
.
Color Sampling
For most professional cameras that output a single HD-SDI signal, the structure that color is transmitted is called 4:2:2 (Y Cb Cr).  This means that the luminance (Y) is sampled 4 times, while its counter color difference components are samples twice.
Digital Green
is noticeably brighter than
Digital Blue
and definitely brighter than
Chroma Green
.  When talking about color sampling, what that means is that not only does the green in
Digital Green
get sampled as color difference (CbCr), but it also gets sampled with luminance (Y).  This yields smoother edges between contrasting colors and, ultimately, yields a better key.
With that said, when using Previzion, avoid using cameras where the color sampling is 4:2:1 or 4:2:0 as it will prove a much tougher signal to key.
Chrome Blue and Chrome Green
Chrome Blue
and
Chroma Green
(as opposed to
Digital Blue
and
Digital Green
) refers to the color of Blue and Green designed for VFX shot using negative film.  For photo-chemical processing of negative film, these two colors were made industry standard.
If there are practical green foliage or a particular show has specific need for green props or characters, then using
Digital Green
is not an option.
Digital Blue
also has the added benefit of a a more natural looking spill than digital green.
Shooting on
Blue Screen
is not necessarily difficult, but it does require an extra bit of effort.  Main differences from green:
Blue is an inherently less bright color, because camera sensors, and human eyes are less attuned to it.  Because of this blue keying requires almost a whole f-stop more light (twice as much light).  Depending on the size of the your stage, this may be no small feat.
The camera samples blue less than green.  This means that when setting your key, there may be considerably more tweaks and adjustments for a smooth natural key.
Keying darker haired people and wardrobe can prove more difficult with blue.  However, with a
Digital Blue Screen
at the proper light levels, this is not as big of an issue.
Blue can create a despill artifact that results in a hard magenta color.  To add more separation from the background you may add blue gels to your screen lights (Lee 079 Just Blue) or blue fluorescent tubes (KinoFlo Blue Tubes).
Just remember that
Blue Screens
always need more light than green.  Especially
Chroma Blue
, which may work out well outdoors, where the amount of illumination is high, and tends to be blue anyway.
When Blue and Green are not enough
In exceedingly rare cases, where there are no human skin exposed, or an underwater type setup where green and blue may not work.
Digital Red
may be used, which poses similar challenges as blue.
Composite Color Standards
When we talk about
Digital Green
and
Digital Blue
we are referring to
Composite Components Company’s (CCC)
color materials.  This will be the case for cloth, spandex, cycs, vynil and paint.
“Digital Green” and “Digital Blue”  is trademark and/or registered under Composite Components Company, or CCC.
There are other alternative paints and materials, but it is important to make sure its sheen, pigment color and specs are up to par.
