Very good!

So, why is the wall behind you also part of the chroma?

That would be because the keyed out colour is fairly broad, so some of the shadows are getting just dark enough to fool the camera. I would suggest evenly lighting your chroma board and keying to a slightly brighter shade of green.

Although this is just a workaround solution, as studio-quality lighting is out of the question - the difference between what is possible and the ideal.
You know those who, having been mugged and stabbed, fired, dog run over, house burned down, wife eloped with best friend, daughters becoming prostitutes and their countries invaded - still say that "all is well"?
I'm obviously not one of them.

I don't know at Bournemouth we popped a couple of halogens (with refuser) on the top rack above our blue curtain. As long as you got all the creases out it worked fine. Didn't cost too much. :)

If someone made Oolite the movie there would probably be a fan backlash along the lines of Why is XXX OXP not in the movie? :twisted:

If there's a triple X OXP it should definately be part of 'Oolite: The Movie'.

Take an idea from one person and twist or modify it in a different way as a return suggestion so another person can see a part of it that can apply to the oxp they are working on.

I think I can top that with:
