Ultra 2
Serious Magic's Ultra 2 is the sequel to the wildly
popular Ultra. Serious Magic's Ultra 2 is the high definition version
of Ultra supporting SD, HD, and HDV resolutions. Ultra 2 is great
for keying DV and HDV footage, using vector keying technology developed
by Serious Magic for Ultra. Serious Magic's Ultra 2 was designed to
be a seamless virtual set workspace, giving you all the tools you
need to make virtual set composites from the keying tools to scaling
your talent into the set to the virtual sets. These is a vast library
of virtual sets available for Ultra2: Virtual
Sets for Ultra 2
Green Screen Backdrops
Getting a good even color behind the talent is the
first step in green screen, this usually requires a chromakey backdrop
in the form of cloth or paint. Some green screen paint can be picked
up at hardware stores or lighting places like Studio Depot (Burbank,
Ca), blue cloth can also be found many places. Some companies sell
green screen pop up green screen backdrops which travel easily and
popup like a windshield shade.
Another alternative is Chromatte, a unique retroreflective material which is gray to the eye, requires little or no light, and casts no spill on the talent because the material is gray to the naked eye. But to the camera it sees it as a perfect blue or green. This is because of the Litering, a ring of LEDs around the lens which casts blue or green light onto the Chromatte material. Chromatte is also very portable in the form of a Chromaflex, a 7x7 popup which folds down into a 3 foot hoop. Chromatte is superior to Green Screen in many ways.
