Also, small rooms are tough for chromakeys unless you are only doing small items. If you want a
person to be in front of a green screen, you need enough room behind them so they do not case a
shadow on the screen and enough room in front of them so they can be lit right. If you want a full
body of a person, forget it. You will need 20 feet or more. Good luck.
