how to: walking shot against green screen?

[Nick NormanButler]

I have a shot I need to do which involves someone walking against a green screen. I've thought about using the treadmills in a gym but they have too much paraphenalia in the way like the distance/calorie burner display panel which will get in my (mid) shot. Does anyone know another way of doing this? Ideally I need a treadmill without all that stuff.

 

Thanks, Nick

Cool stuff.

 

I hope you'll pardon what may sound like silly questions. First, what's "dicifix"?

 

I browsed through the photo album (hope you don't mind :-). In photo #36, why do you have something wrapped around the eyepiece? Is it to protect the viewfinder from the sun?

 

I like the silhouette shot of the camera - very cool!

i don't know if i spell it right

but it's a kind of stick paper that comes in rolls

you cut it any size you want and then peel it and stick it( hope you understand me)

Hey I was thinking of using travelators in a music video to be shot in London. Need to be longer than just a gym one as there is a dance routine involved. Any ideas where I could find two 20ft long ones to hire? They use them for stage shows all the time but I can't seem to locate a rental company for them. Any info on this much appreciated.

Hi Aideen,

 

I ended up doing it on the cheap: taking apart a second hand travelator and painting it green but I did find these guys in research who may offer some tips?

Joking aside you could also contact the production company that does 'Gladiators' and see where they get their famous travelators from?

 

Good luck
