OK... I really like the look of the new wall. I'll post some shots and some blue screen action soon.
I have a couple of questions though... I'm getting a dark blue aura around all of my talent and props. I think it's because I've got a ton of light on the backdrop. What's up with that and how can I fix it? Does anyone have creative ideas on getting a lot of light on a 25'x15' stage? We move around a lot in our video...
