For my movies, I made a green screen.
The dollar store happened to have Chroma Green plastic table mats. So I simply bought some, tacked them to my wall, and filmed. I used "Green Screen" in premiere, and it seemed to work pretty well.?:D?

Why a green screen? Why not a red or blue screen?

Well, I guess that when I made it (1 1/2 years ago) the major thing that you heard about wthout forums like these were greenscreens. I'm sure making a blue or red screen with the same technique would work just al well if not better?:)?

Green is usually used because its the colour that is least found in the pigment of the human skin, blue being a close second. Red is only used when alot of blue and green are found in the scene. They do this so that when they key out the background in post production the subject in the scene is a clear and nice as possible and not slithly rendered out of the scene.

Life is the art of making movies without editing

i would have to agree with mud. Think of you scene before you do it.

As a side point, you can now buy the paint for blue/green screens in the FilmStore: http://www.filmmaking.net/store/
