Video Samples and Ease of Use


• Hang the reflective material behind the subject
• Screw the LED ring onto the camera
• Turn "the knob" until the desired brightness / color tone is achieved
• Press the "Rec" button on your camera.






The first video sample to the right shows the operation of the system and response of the reflective fabric to the LED's (which need very little output). Please note that this video was done using the previous backdrop configuration of (2) 4.25ft wide, overlapped lengths. Note that all systems now ship with a pre-sewn, pre-bordered, 9.84 x 8.2ft backdrop.

The second sample is a commercial project just finished (July, 2009). The speaker was shot using this system with a blue LED ring. The background is a stock JPG image, with a bit of creative blurring to lend a sense of realism / depth of field.

Free Chroma Key Software: If you are not already using Combustion, Keylight, or one of the other standard keying applications, there is a very nice, FREE, stand-alone program that can be downloaded at: http://www.cinegobs.com/ . The results are quite impressive, much less for a free app!
