The
Digital Juice Chroma Pop is our first foray into bringing you non-
software products that continue our goal of helping you get your video projects done
better, faster, and cheaper. The
Chroma Pop is a highly
portable,
blue|
green reversible pop-up
screen that is designed to
give you perfect
keys no
matter where you are.
It's
spring steel frame lets this 7ft by 5ft
screen instantly collapse into a bag 1/3rd its
size that
can easily fit into any back seat, closet, or trunk. When you
need it, it
instantly pops open to reveal its full
size. The
blue and
green fabric have been specially formulated to
give you the best
key possible when used with standard editing and plug-in
keying
software.
So now, whether you are at home, in the studio or on the road, you
can have a high-quality,
portable, reversible
green or
blue screen instantly available to you.
Folds in Seconds
1.
Holding the top
right corner with your
right hand, grab the bottom
left corner with your
left hand and pull the
two corners together(folding the
frame in half) and creating an upside down U shape with the
frame.
2.
Push down and in on the middle top section of the
frame farthest from your
body so that it goes to the ground to form
two circles with that half.
3.
Fold one circle towards your leg, then the other. You may adjust the
size of the circles to achieve a
better fit during this process.
4.
Place folded up
screen in
clear bag.
NoteFold in a clean and dry area.
2-in-1 Green and Blue
screen
Green
screen or
blue screen? It doesn't
matter which one you
need because the double-sided
Chroma Pop offers both options in one
portable pop-up
screen.
Compact and
portable
Having a dual sided 7' X 5' chroma
key screen is nice, but how to store and transport it? The
Chroma Pop answers that question with a
steel band
frame that allows the unit to be collapsed into a much smaller
size. Just use a small amount of force in the
right place and the large
screen is reduced to the
size of a standard bicycle tire -- only it's much
lighter and, thanks to a handy
carrying
case, easy to transport from
point A to
point B.
High quality
material
The
Chroma Key
background fabric is constructed of a high grade
green and
blue color polyester
fabric fused together
using 32
density foam. The unit's collapsible
frame is made from hardened tempered
spring steel making it strong, but flexible.
7ftX5ft
Not too big to get in the way, but big enough to do full
body shots with
two adults.
Plastic carry bag
If you don't opt for the
Deluxe Carry
Bag we include a free
clear plastic zipper
carry case that gets the job done and keeps your
screen safe.
Easy to use
All it takes is the
right twist of the wrist with a little pressure applied and the
Chroma Pop screen responds, twisting into
two halves and then collapsing into a 30 inch diameter circle. Expanding the
Chroma Pop screen is even easier. Just
give it a nudge in the
right direction and the
Chroma Pop screen does the rest -- practically expanding all by itself. Then it's a simple
matter of
using the
Chroma Pop's many tabs or loops to secure the unit into place on a stand or against a wall, giving you a clean
background for your
subject matter.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS (FAQ)
Q: How do you
properly light a
Chroma Pop for shooting good
keys?
A: For ideal
keys, you will
need to
light the
Chroma Pop separately with balanced
light from both sides set at 45 degrees to 30 degrees. With video, use an external monitor to check for hotspots.
Make sure your
subject is at least 8 to 10 feet in front of the
screen and
separately lit. You want as much distance as possible between the
background and the
subject to avoid shadows and
color spill.
A softbox is nice to have for your
subject's face for a softer look. You
can also use a hair
light to make the
subject really pop off the
screen. You want your
keying
software to have no problem figuring out what to
key out. The "
Digital Juice Reflector" kits are a great companion product. You
can use them for extra fill
lights and to help redirect
light that shines on
subjects with glasses or bald heads.
Q: Is
wrinkling as much of an issue with the
Chroma Pop as it is with other
fabric green screens?
A: Because the
Chroma Pop is a fold-up,
portable cloth product, some
wrinkling is bound to occur when you keep it in storage for any length of time. However, as mentioned above,
lighting and separation of talent is by far the most crucial aspect of chroma
keying. Any s
light wrinkling that may form will usually not affect the process if
lighting is correct. As a
matter of fact, the
Chroma Pop will likely still
key better than many
blue/
green walls you've worked with.
