Mismatch Chroma Key Demonstration

Description

Since I seriously questioned the green to cover my self with for a video up coming that has me using this Fly puppet I made a short chroma key test with it. The other covering I'm planning on using is in much lighter tones of green but I fear it might reflect disturbing the white balance in the video. There will be a second test but that won't be posted.

This is being posted for people to learn from that dabble in green screening as I do. You see the shades of green being used and know the white balance was adjusted before filming. But also note this was filmed at night in my apartment and I noted with a previously posted video here. For some reason this plays with the camera's perception of what it sees as white. But none the less this chroma key test should serve as a good example of how to make a mistake with this hobby.

Also note this test was done to see how well the puppet would be relayed against green screening. Those eye balls while this has not been noted in the past are Christmas tree bulbs that are as you can see, highly reflective. I feared if they'd catch the green around them. Same as the nose which has a highly reflective surface. Fortunately as you can see neither turned out to be a problem.
