I purchased the equipment to do green screening in my office.  See, if you visit www.theccsolution.com, a marketing agency I own, you’ll see me on the home page.  Video is killer folks for conversion!!!!

The video on the company site does an amazing job to my conversion, and that’s not it.  it also helped with usability on my site, more people spent more time on my site looking at more pages.  More leads = more sales.

Anyhow, this video is a short one, my very first attempt at a chroma keying, the technical name for green screen, or blue screen.  this effect is used in the news all the time.

Don’t be fooled, it’s not simple, but its easy and cheap.  This set up I have is really guerrilla, buts its awesome.  For less than $1000, including the camera and software, I set up this recording booth.

Enjoy, and the specs of this set are below the video.
