Quote from: mirha760 on Today at 06:52:00 AMFor a simple green-screen setup, I agree that using a plain, consistent shade of green is probably more important than choosing an expensive setup. Even lighting also seems important because shadows can make the editing and background removal more difficult. For people working on video projects and adding text or graphics later, having useful design resources such as [spam link removed]cool symbols in Urdu[/spam] can also help when creating titles, captions, or other visual elements.

DREAMS OF THE RAREBIT FIEND: THE PET (1921):
This might be the original kaiju movie! Director Winsor McKay was the author of the "Little Nemo In Slumberland" comic strip and also the strip that shares its title w/ this short - apparently the title character loves eating "rarebit" (rabbit?) but it always gives him nocturnal indigestion and wacky dreams. In this 11-minute episode, he dreams that his wife adopts what at first looks like a tiny stray kitty cat, then starts to grow into something more doglike, then gradually more like a mini- (then full-size) rhino, and finally into a giant monster, which proceeds to do what all giant monsters tend to do - rampage and destroy the city. Obviously the air force must respond!

McKay made this cartoon 7 years after the primitive GERTIE THE DINOSAUR - and the evolution of both animation technology and McKay's own craft is remarkable. There's clear similarity to Miyazaki and Otomo, w/ stylized yet detailed backgrounds and then smartly strategic, convincing character movement against those backgrounds. THE PET would still look sturdy if it premiered today in an indie animation screening. McKay apparently made at least one other RAREBIT FIEND short, though it seems to have been lost.  :bluesad:     Too bad!    4/5
