Until recently, lighting a standard green or blue screen has been cumbersome, attempting to achieve an even color tone, and the results are not always efficient for post-production removal of the background. However, if you are not yet familiar with it, a somewhat newer approach to chromakey production has changed that immensely: The system utilizes a ring of colored LED lights around the camera lens that reflect off of a gray, reflective backdrop. The result is a beautifully smooth wash of color (blue or green, depending on the color of the LED's being used) that makes pulling a great key close to effortless... it is an amazing thing! Just a few of the main advantages over a traditional blue/green chroma key screen setup are:

•	A perfectly smooth, even wash of color, with adjustable luminance.
•	No separate lighting needed for the screen. Thus, no excess heat near the talent, and considerably less electricity usage / amperage draw.
•	Easy portability, less gear to haul around, lightning quick setup.
•	Allows certain applications not possible with a traditional chroma screen.
•	Very good tolerance for wind / movement, shadows and wrinkles.
