Mike, so blue background you think is better than green one for screenflow..?

Hi Hello Apple! Good green screen work is part science and part art. There are a lot of variables coming into play. One of the biggest problems is often getting flashback or spillover of green onto the outline of the subject. Some of that can happen with people who have fluffed up sort of poofy hair that the green can bounce back through. My hair is a bit like that and my hair is greying a bit on top. So sometimes I get better results with a blue screen because I think it reflects less light than my bright green screen. However, one of the biggest problems often comes from having the subject standing too close to the screen. In a small room it can be a challenge getting the subject 6-8 feet from the screen. If the subject is only 2, 3, or 4 feet from the screen there will be spillover no matter what else is done. You could try one of those double-sided collapsible screens that is green on one side and blue on the other such as... www.amazon.com/Neewer-Collapsible-Reversible-Chromakey-Background/dp/B00E89Q5OY/ You could then test each color to see which works best. -Mike
