ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

We're considering including a chromakey (green screen) in an exhibit
we're planning. The exhibit already has animal costumes and
activities that highlight animal adaptations. Our hope is that the
chromakey will be a "wow" for visitors as well as a fun way to show
real animal behaviors.

Before we take the plunge, I have a few questions for the experts
here. If you have a chromakey (or have worked with one):
About how much floor space did you allot for it? Was it enough?
Did you have any problems we should watch for with equipment or maintenance?
Have you noticed types of footage that inspire particularly great (or
not so great) responses from visitors?

The ISEN archives gave me a start, but I'm hoping to add to the store
of information.

thanks!
