Ok so I’ve decided to use a turntable to spin the unit.. I will be making a platform on top of the turntable and then somehow mounting vertical supports (dowels or something) to another platform 2-3 feet higher which the unit will sit on. Should the vertical supports be painted chroma key green, or white?? (remember the background is a white cyclorama)

Thank you all for the response… great advice.

Only questions I have remaining is this:

The cyclorama we are using is white.. and I was wondering if it would be better for whatever support I use to be green, or white? I was thinking a couple thick dowel rods or something similar coming up from the base of whatever is turning. I’m asking because it seems the green would be better, and I just key it out in post… however, im worried about the shadows directly underneath the unit. SO – that being said, what the eff is rotoscoping? i trying googling it and I looked at a few videos on youtube concerning it, however im not sure how it would be apply in this situation. If anyone could clear that newbie question up for me Id greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!
