What they're saying about Greenscreen Made EasyReview from Microfilmmaker Magazine - "If you're even vaguely considering using green screening in an upcoming low-budget production, don't think twice about buying this book as soon as possible, preferably before you even start writing your script. In fact, I'd highly recommend it to any indie filmmaker, because even if you've never thought of using a green screen before, Hanke and Yamazaki might inspire you to take your ideas to ambitious new levels. Let this book and the awesome and affordable technology it describes inspire you to dream big regardless of your budget."
Review by Harry Frank - "If you are looking to get started with greenscreen production as a hobbyist or a professional, this book has everything you'll need to hit the ground running. If you are a motion designer and visual effects artist with little exposure to the 'other world' of production, including cameras and lighting, you'll want to grab this book for a great primer on the subject. It's a quick read, is loaded with information and has a lot of specifics that you can reference later on."

This book belongs right next to Stu Maschwitz's DV Rebels Guide as an additional tool in your reference arsenal. The topics covered here leave you with no questions and conjecture about how to shoot, light, and pull the perfect key. This is probably the most comprehensive information I have seen that really covers this often-discussed topic. Seth Hankcock, Executive Producer & On-air Talent, WXIN-TV
In the Swiss Army knife of production, this book sits right next to the DV Rebels Guide as the bone saw and screwdriver - necessary tools for any job. The way the information is presented is engaging and easy to process while still being extremely informative and technical. In a word, this book is essential. Jason Diamond, Co-owner/Co-Founder of MBS Productions (MTV, VH1, Spike TV)
From shooting to postproduction, this book not only helps you to understand greenscreening, but also teaches you to apply it correctly to your project. A must-have book for students, filmmakers, and animators alike. Dru Nget, Designer/Animator, Shine (Kung Fu Panda, Traitor, Mad Money)
