Affordable green screen kit from Westcott

Westcott has released an affordable alternative for those wanting to create special effects with the Green Screen Digital Photography Kit. The kit allows photographers on a budget to set up a chromakey studio for £69.99, with both the background and software included.

Chromakey works by using a green screen behind a person or object, which can then be removed and replaced with something different later on. It's a common practice among Hollywood filmmakers and allows photographers to place a model in a tropical locale instead of a studio.

The kit includes the PhotoKey Lite software, 100 Digital Backgrounds and a 5‘ by 7‘ green screen with 2 wall hooks. More information can be found at www.johnsons-photopia.co.uk.
