Not sure where I fit in, I like my cat and my EX3

Well done. The message was first and foremost, not hidden behind a slick production. Well done.

Benjamin Eckstein · September 6th, 2009, 02:57 PM

Thanks, yes, we wanted to keep it very simple, and I was very pleased with the outcome.

Congratulations Benjamin . . . very well done, and very well edited. You are a good film maker and definitely have a future in this business.

Thanks Brian, that really means a lot!

Oh, if life were only so simple.

But that was a nice work. Was it chroma-keyed, or in front of a white background?

White limbo lit by 2 Arri 650 open face lights. I don't do much green screen work, but my guess is that it would have been a challenge to come out as clean shooting it on green and keying in the white. But maybe people DO do that. I would guess it would be harder to hide any green spill.
