Thanks Mark,

I’m really interested in your vinyl idea. And as for the tracking markers, I think I’m going to use the corners of the windows as you had suggested.

I do have a question though –

– For the porch scene, what would you suggest I do? It’s not a big front porch, but I still don’t want to wrap the entire outside of my porch in blue. I was planning on tightening the shots for those scenes and more often then not composing the shot to the front of the house, but I was just wondering as to what you might do.

And yes, I am scaling the people down into the model house, but for only the wide shots of the house at a distance. For the main porch shots I am doing an on-set bluescreen shoot. And as for the indoor shots I plan on now using the vinyl for the windows. The point of this film thematically is that a small family idlely sails their boathouse across the Atlantic ocean, all of them wanting to go different places.

Thanks Chris,

Both the tutorials and the camera specs you noted have given me a good sense of lighting my greenscreen and looking at the waveform monitor for colors that could interfere with the key. Also the costume decision seems wise.

However I am going to go with the color blue as others have noted here on this discussion – it seems to give a more ambient approach as to the type of light and atmosphere (background) I want to simulate through the windows.
