<p>Hello, all. I am writing from Mathalicious, a free service which provides teachers &amp; students with real-world math content. (Lessons explore whether music will help you run faster, Moore's Law and the history of video games, whether Wheel of Fortune is rigged, etc).</p> <p>In addition to the handouts and other classroom materials, we want to provide users with videos that convey the content in an engaging and informative way. If you have a moment to view this <a href="http://www.mathalicious.com/?p=1191" rel="nofollow">sample skills video</a>, we'd be grateful for your thoughts on:</p> <ul> <li>How to avoid the green-screen fringing effect;</li> <li>How to improve the animations to be less static (3D?), and what kinds of programs/skill sets should we be seeking (Motion, After Effects?);</li> <li>General impressions &amp; suggestions.</li> </ul> <p>I know this is fairly open-ended, but we really would appreciate your expertise. Our strength is in creating meaningful math content. Video production? Not so much.</p>

<p>I am new to web video and would like to understand when I should use a green screen and how to use a green screen. Is there specific material that should be used? specific shade of green? Once filmed, how do you replace the green screen background with an image?</p> <p>Appreciate any guidance that can be offered.</p>

<p>Hi guys! I'm a new vlogger and thrilled to have found this forum...</p> <p>I've been using a greenscreen for the past few weeks, and no matter what I do I can't seem to get the key to look good. I've tried balancing out the light (using a Home Depot outside work light along with a bunch of standing lamps and clamp lights) but the levels aren't even. All of the lights are about 1-2 feet away from me and the screen, btw. I have a really small apartment so lighting the screen and me separately isn't an option!</p> <p>The other thing I've been wondering about is the quality of the footage, i.e., maybe the resolution I'm shooting at makes the key sloppy? (The camera's a Panasonic consumer miniDV from about 4 years ago and it's on an SP setting, for whatever that's worth).</p> <p>If you're still reading, you can have a look at my vlog at www.youdigest.com to see what I mean. Any suggestions are most appreciated!</p> <p>Kirstin</p>
