I built a greenscreen for chroma keying video/photos in my studio for about 5 dollars. Grabbed about six sheets of neon-green poster board from a local store and used some other bits I had lying around; easel, cardboard, non-reflective tape, staple gun, duct tape…
You can see the result below! Admittedly ghetto… but for my current purposes, it will work just fine. You can see the seams in the photo but this isn’t a big deal as depth of field and After Effects can both be used to get around something like that. It’s large enough that I can place it a few feet behind the subject without issue, so blurring it with depth of field in the camera is probably a good option. You can see here that it’s pretty evenly lit without any special lighting- though I do have some lights to be used in case they are needed.
As a test, I grabbed this rabbit and snapped a quick photo.
After a few seconds of keying in After Effects – Parisian Rabbit.
