Chroma key green tape
Can somebody recommend a chroma key tape and/or explain which tape would be suitable.
This Rosco Chroma Key Green tape seems to be the stuff but £20+ a roll???
Slightly cheaper and still mention chroma-green is CHROMA-GREEN WASHI TAPE 50MM X 50 METRE ROLL
It then goes all the way down Pro-Gaff RS127GN24X25 24 mm x 25 yd Fluorescent Matt Cloth Tape for just £6 but, I suspect, isn't suitable???
Thanks

Are you tapping to cloth? I just use bright neon green duct tape and it works for me, I do not know what you are tapping to?
It's going to be taping a chroma screen to the floor, two screens together (at the back) and hiding a few clamps.
So something like this Gaffa tape Neon Green 25m 50mm ???
(although that £10 PLUS £16 delivery.... the Highwaymen)
I think as long as you got bright green tape it should work, I got my bright green duct tape at Walmart
are you keying in hitfilm? when I do it works, but in after effects it does not work the same, in hitfilm I use the greenscreen key and it works with the duct tape
Thanks @HIS_Films
I'll be using Hitfilm 4 Pro so will look at normal green duct tape.
Great it should work as long as it is pretty close to the color of your green screen!
For what it's worth: Wal-Mart makes a house brand of of paint in Kelley green that is an exact match to the green screen cloth I purchased for B&H Photo. I use it for sticks and rods if needed, but would work on lots of things but not taping I'm afraid.
@tonyg ;What kind of floor are you taping to? Double sided carpet tape might do the trick and it's pretty cheap. Downside is it might be a pain to remove from the floor.
The last green tape I bought was green duct tape from Dollar Tree and it keyed ok in HitFilm. I think the UK equivalent to Dollar Tree is Poundland?
Thanks all.
Sticking this to 'wood-a-like' flooring. so duct tape would be perfect. Shouldn't be a problem finding a Poundland or equivalent as we have enough of them to choose from nowadays :-)
