Reflecmedia Chromakey Solution ► Green Screen Tech FROM THE FUTURE!
Photo Moment - May 08, 2018
This incredible green or blue screen technology, reflecmedia, is nothing short of amazing! The special screen is chromatte fabric, designed to reflect the color emitted by the LiteRing back at the camera.

fyi, you can make this diy for under 100$ the material is widely available. You can buy a rgb ring light for nothing
Cool. This video is six years old; not sure you could back then.
I am looking to buy one of these systems and want to try it out first but I can’t find any 10bit footage to download anywhere, not even from ReflecMedia.
Any ideas?
Any ideas?
Thanks for your reply 😊 I did reach out to them directly and they said they don’t have any 10 bit footage. Very strange!
Oh dang. I’d reach out to them directly. Sadly the distributor I borrowed it from is no longer in business.
Cons
More daylight / worse it looks, so need 80% control of room lighting.
Dust reduces the reflection, so need to cover it when not in use.
The previous led light ring can cause glaring eye issues with the talent (seeing spots)
Can't use an autocue- but if your 2m away eye line levels out.
For Indoors only

Can you see a way to do autocue with this solution?
This type of technology is really good because trust and believe I have a real hard time with my green screen as in line it correctly and at a certain distance and then sometimes I even have green spills over me now just like I said this type of technology is very good but yet it cost an arm and a leg or lung eyeball and if your dude half of your damn testicle
Thank you for the video,
Can I stand on the material and can I make a ceiling from it also,
Meaning if it is let in an angle will is still work?

You should reach out to DVE Store with those questions, sorry. I’m pretty sure the answer is yes to both but check with them!
awesome... but $8,000 :') thats funny
9:24 At the end of the video: "I will tell you upfront"
Well, nice effect, but "upfront" I would have prefer to know that was a 2000$+ solution at the beginning of the video.
Thumbs up, anyway.

But, the green light is also making you, the subject, green. Must you correct that?
Nope! The light is so focused that it only reflects off the beads in the background. No color correction applied here; this was all recorded live.
There's a real weird ghost outline around his silhouette, like half a centimeter wide, can that be tweaked away?! ........ it's real obvious by his head at 10:18 for example....... Or is that just a shadow?
That’s going to be a combination of your keying software (the realtime key in the ATEM is good but not great), and also distance from background to subject — in my case, the bg was quite close.
Hi:
I am nature documentary photographer would like to use for insect filming.
Is it uesful for High speed camera in 1000fps or higher mode?
It will be flickering of picture or extremely under exposure?

Very cool!! I have to wear glasses all the time. Would there be a green reflection off my glasses that is picked up by the camera? Thx :)
Interesting. I don’t think so, unless you were STRAIGHT in front of it. But I’d ask the folks at the DVE Store, where this came from for the video, about that. They’ll have more experience with it.
I've worked with one of these before. It's freaking awesome.
Can you do a multicam with chromatte? Like 3/4 cams in a webcast, webinar or talkshow
well… since the ring light goes around the camera lens, then you'd need one for each camera. Am I misunderstanding what you're trying to do?
@@photojoseph hi Joseph, thank for your reply. Do you need just one central green LED light or 3 separate ringlights per camera that switch seamless? Or always ON?
Sure. You'd have a fair bit of setup to do to get each camera right, then save the settings as Macros to switch between them, but yes, it can be done.
Is it equally good for green screen tracking.... when various tracking markers are placed for motion tracking?
I’m not sure I follow… tracking markers and green screen are two separate things. Often used together, but the technologies have nothing to do with each other. What am I missing?
I agree! Although lots of viewers have pointed out that this isn’t new… but hey, I think it’s amazing!
Great video, im looking into this today, although ill say the actual Reflecmedia Chromakey bundle is ridiculously priced. It runs $2,100 compared to being able to rig up a DIY version for maybe $150-300 depending how fancy you wanna get.
The Tech has been around for at least 15 to 20 years. Play used to sell a similar setup with a light ring and a reflective drape. Don´t know if it is just a rebranding or...but it is definitely not new. I wonder what happened to Play´s take on this.
I've heard that a few times… I really have no idea though! Thanks for watching.
Check Out LEDchromaKEY.com - Same tech, less cost, plus patented Teleprompter Chromakey system.
No need to buy that thing you can create your self under 40 bucks, I have built it for myself 😉
Asim did try to post this link https://youtu.be/rJKLEZnsVsQ but it was on hold, but then he was, um, not nice to David so I've banned him. But there's the link.
Useless comment if you can't back it up with proof.
Is it hardware dependent? I see many using macs but wondering if the power supply and switch are independent of a computer and I can use with the setup I have (which is PC and premiere pro) Thanks
Which part are you referring to? The light is totally stand alone and has nothing to do wtih the computer.
Hi, I have read online that the ringlight that comes with this is crazy bright. That because of it, it makes it hard to be on camera too long. AND someone said it makes using a prompter difficult. Thoughts? AND thanks for a great video.
Two things… it's bright but if you're used to studio lights then it's no big deal. As for a tele prompter you would have to put it to the side. You can't have the lights shining through a teleprompter mirror.
how is this not more popular?! this seems like THE perfect chromakey setup!
cost. Otherwise beautiful in every way
Where can I get the beach scene background from.
It was some random YouTube video , sorry I didn’t save the link.
Yes this product has been around really since the Harry Potter film with the invisibility cloak from Philospher's Stone... so 2000ish
And there have been a number of permutations with other manufacturers. Micro beads in the cloth. So more like Back to the Future here.

are there other fabric manufacturer?
"Around for a bit?" The underlying tech for this is so old that it predates digital photography, WWII, film noir and even chroma-keying itself! The idea was patented as "cats eyes" in 1934, for use in road lane markers... 6 years before the 1940 "Thief of Bahgdad" which was the first cinematic use of "true" blue screen (though double-exposure travelling matte techniques had been used far earlier, just look at Georges Méliès)
Admittedly, the idea of using this kind of retroreflector scaled down and embedded in fabric is more recent, but has still been around for at least a decade, and other forms of retroreflector sheets have been around for far longer, in e.g. road signs.
"From the future" may be good clickbait, but nothing could be further from the truth!

So why there is only one reflection screen manufacturer? There is no competition
There is totally a way to express this without coming off like a douchebag, especially since he states in the beginning that its not an unheard of technique. All around great video, for people who arent as cultured as yourself
Very cool! I do still have the screen… however I don’t have a projector 😢 Thank you as always for the education though!
Unless you've sent it back already, you should try pointing a projector at the thing... retroreflectors make for great projection screens. Not just for watching movies, but also for making them! Classic example; the background to this somewhat famous sequence was front-projected onto a Scotchlite retroreflective screen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypEaGQb6dJk
One major advantage is that they preserve polarisation, and were/are used exclusively as the screen of choice for passive 3D with polarised glasses.
In another famous use, light sabres in the original Star Wars trilogy were made with retro-reflector strips too

Wow great history lesson! That’s awesome, thanks.
Well, it’s futuristic to most people who will see it and it’s certainly no where near as commonplace as a standard green screen, so I’ll keep the title 😝
