It is hard sometimes to shoot bad stuff, but in response to requests in the RED course, we have been shooting bad blue screen. Given the Bayer pattern on the sensor, the response to light and a few other things – we know that the best keying option would be green screen, and we have done green screen tests. But in the real world we all know that bad things happen – so with the help of some friends we shot a not very blue, poorly lit, mixture of daylight and tungsten, blue screen shot with the RED. We will again be distributing the footage to fxphd members.

It is not that we are trying to screw the RED or promote bad blue screens – but having shot great blue screen and keyed it with the RED – we figured we should see how it handles the bad stuff!
