I went down to my local haberdashery and bought a bright green bed sheet. It works surprisingly well as a green screen.
Awesome. I loved the tips for dialing in DV cameras to get a better key. The analog output was a stoke of genius and I will definitely try that on my next green shoot.
What a great presentation! I am so PROUD of You guys! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!

Excellent information, I like the zebra and dv cam tips, and detail setting on camcorder, thanks - that's all new... would like to see more in a future episode for what us prosumer camcorder mini-dv users can do to make the best of our cams, eg how to white balance vs auto and other tips... good video, well done!
Excellent as always, wish that HDV was touched upon though. Is keying in HDV format better than standard DV??
Are you guys timed up or what?
I am a 22 year professional working for the DoD for a while. It happened that Ft. Buchanan bought a ChKey drape (a huge one, in a small studio) and I am trying to explain some of these details to them. They insist, for example, to keep the subject close to the screen. So, guess what am I gonna be showing to those Federal employees tomorrow? The tricks with the camera, very handy indeed. The info about the DV difficulty to key up right a must!
Thanks a million, once again.

Today I learned how to unlock keys and took 5 easy keys. A great learning day with Chris and Rick. So it was a fantastic day for me. Thank you DJTV!!!
Very helpful info. I just thought it was my inexperience causing my difficulty with keying DV. Great to know the work arounds. Keep up the great info. You guys really know how to get a guy to visit your website regularly.
Thanks for all the tips on keying. It helps reaffirm what I was told at one time but had forgotten, most helpful was the zebra tip.
Brilliant! I'm just about to try Green Screening for the first time this week - This Take 5 episode was perfectly timed! Thanks.
One of the best Take 5 episodes yet! I have been struggling to pull a clean key and to date, my only means of improving have been changing my lighting. I'm going to try the zebra function and experiment with analog output. In a future episode, perhaps you could cover some tips for getting the most out of the filters our editing apps provide for working with keys. Keep up the great work!
Very quick and to the point, most importantly it didn't put me to sleep with techno bable...Thanks, Mike Mason
5 Stars for this Take 5! These tips will come in extra handy on my next green screen project. The zebra tip will be very helpfull. Keep up the good work!!
Good tips Rick.Very useful information!I Iook forward to every episode of Take 5. I'm always learning.Thanks for all of your tutorials. They help out a lot.
Once again, another great set of tips that I can pass on to my upcoming students in the videography class. They will absolutely love this video tip segment. They have always loved playing around with chroma keying. I'm definitely saving all of these videos for school!
Once again great work. Love the tips and how to get nice clean keys. Just when I think I've got something pretty much understood along comes a "Take 5" episode to expand the knowledge. Thanks!
I haven't tried a green screen shot yet because I don't have 4:2:2 color, but I will take Rick's advice and turn down the sharpness, watch my lighting and give it a try. Thanks for the tips.
Wow, I reaaly need to keep watching Take 5. This green screen was was ideal, as I have just built myself a green screen stand, in prperation for some green (and blue) screen takes I will be amking. Keep these useful sessions coming
Very well done. I especially appreciate the tip for using a white background to check your shot in post. And for all the DV shooting I've done, I've never come across the tip for turning off the detail or sharpness feature as a way to improve green screen work. Not sure how I missed the tip before, but that's what I love about your show - I always learn something new. very helpful!
I love it. Just one comment. How about a slightly advanced look at how you achieved the even lighting on a full body key. How do you control spill on feet or ankles. You can have distance between green screen and torso in a medium shot, but there's not really a way to get distance between feet and green screen. Unless you're videotaping Jesus, of course....
Great work, Keep it up.
I think this is one of the better Take 5s' I've seen. I consider myself to be an intermediate in video editing and some of these Take 5s'are a little short as to what programs are being used and the steps that are used to create them.It would be helpful to people like me that are trying to learn.
