Reflecmedia - Green and Blue screen Chromakey

Here is a bit of new technology that can be a lifesaver for those with the need to create Blue and Green screen material. The background is a silvery gray color upon initial examination. A closer look reveals tiny glass beads that reflect incoming light like “cats eyes” do when car headlights approach. The 7′ x 7′ portable background of the Reflecmedia “Chromaflex” material has a street price of about $1175.

Chromaflex

Compared to a simple portable background, Reflecmedia sounds really expensive…

Next you’ll need a couple of lights to light up the traditional background. Typical set-ups can look like this

You can light up the background with simple Tota lights with an Umbrella to produce soft and even light. Each light is 750W and costs about $300 with the Stand. So if you need two of these that is $600 in lights as a minimum. Or you can get a DV Creator Kit 44 and add a second umbrella to use the Omni 600W.

The trick with Reflecmedia is the LED LiteRing which mounts to the front of the camera.

When the light from the Reflectmedia LED LiteRing hits the Chromafelx background, the light is reflected back and what the camera sees is a perfectly even blue or green sceen!

Now you can drop whatever background you wish

Now you need to take into account the valuable time it can take to properly position the lights for a traditional set-up.

Next is the electricity to run the lights.

Now what about the Air Conditioning to cool the room from the hotlights?

Also, what about the spill from traditional set-up? If you can’t get the talent further away, you get “green hair!”

How about the time to “fix it in post?”

Reflecmedia can pay for itself.

So, there you have it. Two different chromakey solutions for two different budgets.

“Come on now, this sounds too good to be true, we rely on you to give us the straight scoop - what’s the downside?”

- With Reflecmedia’s Litering, the camera needs to be 10′ away from the subject. So you’ll need about a 12′ room.
- You can not walk on the Chromaflex. -Update - A new product is now available. It’s called BaseMatte and is shipping, See below.
- Teleprompters do not work well with the Ringlite. Read more here.

BaseMatte

BaseMatte has been specifically designed to be utilised as flooring. It is Chromatte cloth laminated to a close cell, high density, resilient neoprene rubber base that provides a flat, even surface. This backing forms easily to most carpets and solid floors and provides a flat chromatte panel with no creases. When used with a ChromaFlex or Chromatte curtain it will enable the cameraman to frame full body shots.
