Chroma key Blue Cotton Muslin Backdrop

Smick — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 13:09:44 +0000

Our chroma key blue photography l;ighting backdrops are now on special for September, if you are using studio flash lighting, video lighting or continuous lighting equipment then a chroma key backdrop opens up untold possibilities.

For still digital photographers it allows you to change the background easily using photoshop or another image editing program and dropping in any other background. For any sort of DV or video filming it also allows you using software to insert another scene in place of the background, so a scene filmed elsewhere can be inserted into your studio clips where lighting and sound can be controlled.

This is great addition to your studio kit, Blue Chroma key backdrop special

Chromakey Green Backdrop

Smick — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 09:51:34 +0000

Fast portable our large chromakey green background popup, this is suitable for studio flash lighting and for video lighting.

It measures 150cm x 200cm so quite big but folds down to a 60cm and fits in its own bag, when open stretches the fabric across the frame to get rid of most of the creases. This ideal if you want to add different backgrounds in your studio flash shots, daylight shots and for digital video lighting. This would be a great additin to your studio lighting equipment.
