John Caliber:
OT, but I did buy a large muslin greenscreen for the purposes of photographing action figure stories against. I soon found it quite depressing, as green is not my favourite colour other than on leaves and plants, and it darkened my studio quite a bit. It didn't take much more time to isolate the figures against the magnolia-painted studio wall using Photoshop, so I only use the greenscreen for forest diorama flooring now :)

I also found GreenScreen difficult to use with figures as the green colour reflected onto the paintwork on the figures.

I used to make backdrops and sets using mountboard and keep them out of focus to create movement in the shots.

John Caliber:
A good idea.

I found that the greenscreen tended to become patchy when trying to isolate it in Photoshop - it became mottled with some blue areas; took about the same time to manually outline toy silhouettes and feather them with a pale background (the wall), and as you say, the green reflects back on the toys to a degree, making them look sickly.
