So many questions... I might have some pictures of when I had it set
up at Rustycon for the Greenscreen Demo. If so, they are on my
portable HD with the laptop and I'll have to get them out later.

Our living room was a sci fi collectibles store for a few years, I'm
finally changing it into a photo/video studio (and custom fabric
printing, Tshirts, signs). So it will have a dedicated spot, but isn't
done yet. I have a 10 foot piece of plastic pipe hung to hold the fabric.

The greenscreen is 9x12. The blue is somewhat smaller, like 6x9, found
at a thrift store.

Magix Movie Edit Pro 10 Plus, UK version. I'm going to try Wax 2.0 for
some of the effects like keyframing masks.

I uploaded to YouTube.com. Klingon Academy Recruiting, and a couple of
shots I did at my Greenscreen Demo at Rustycon.
