The latest and greatest version of Boinx software’s image capture program, istopmotion 2, now has chroma key functionality! That’s green screen, to you and me. We’ve recently started experimenting in the classroom with this new feature and have come away fairly impressed.
The key to proper chroma key effects is lighting... not the easiest thing to adjust in the classroom.
Our setup includes an intel imac, external isight with custom lego stand, and a two wall stage draped in bright, bright green poster board.
One of our first tests: One of the cool things about this istopmotion feature is that we can animate, frame by frame, against video files. Notice the cars driving by in the distance.
