utube has great tutorials storiescomealive.wikispaces.com

Kim uses green screen with her 5th graders. Mark does green screening at a simple level.

It is not about end product - it is about content.

tubetape.com - has all kinds of kits available. Kim went to Walmart and found yards of green material. Go to any store She used a 4 x 8 piece. Ikea has a perfect shower curtain BUT it is shiny - NOT good. Lighting is everything and smoothness of the texture helps too. More important that the exact color green. Felt is good too. Must be lit from top and both sides. Shadows are the worst! KIm uses this green screen every week. Think about your audience - if it needs to be perfect make sure there are no wrinkles. Many times we are not working at that level. Wrap green screen on pvc pipe.

Any age group is good.... She is going to start using it in 2nd grade. Project with snakes.

Her goal is to introduce the students to green screen prior to high school.

Best to not wear green - you will blend into the screen.

She made birthday invitations using a green screen.

They used Photobooth to take a video of two people doing a weather forecast example in class. After taking photo - drag it to the desktop.

Imovie '09 is the only version that has green screen option.

Kim stepped through the process. Everything is listed on her wiki under the green screen page.
