    Chromakey On The Cheap

    I know Buck used to have a link at Bear Town explaining how to do blue screen on a budget. I've done some Googling, but I still haven't found what I'm looking for. I've tried it once, it was cool but was after all a first attempt. Ideas or links anyone?

    BUSH, CHEYNEY & RICE puppets (& 1 monster) up on Ebay
