Green screen/Lighting set up question….
I am getting a panasonic ag-dvc30 camcorder to shoot interview footage and in the future I will be shooting footage of people walking around doing misc stuff in front of a green screen. What kind of lights do I need? My budget for lights are around $400. I am a newbie to setting up something like this. Thanks!!!!!!
I found a couple of chroma key screens on ebay. What is the best one to get? They have

the foam backed fabric works the best in my experience. It’s very forgiving and very wrinkle resistant.
You can buy this stuff for $15/yd at chroma-key.com or filmtools.com as well. It only comes in 5 ft width, although you can get it almost any length. Note that the 10 ft screen they’re selling has a seam in it. Even with the seam, I’d still recommend this. It’s very nice stuff.
The material itself is made by Velcro. If you want to buy an entire 40 yd roll of the stuff you can get it for $5/yd from them directly.
cheers,

I can second the foam backed recco. It works great, and I’ve had no problem with the seam. Just position your subject far enough in front of the screen so the seam goes soft.
