is it easier to pull a clean key w Reflecmedia than with regular green screen???

[Nicholas Natteau]

I'm considering buying the Reflecmedia Kit with Ringlite. Can anyone who has used Reflecmedia comment on how it compares to a traditional chromakey setup with muslin green screen?

Now bearing in mind that the Reflecmedia cannot really be used outdoors, nor with a teleprompter, how does the ringlite with its green lights compare to a traditional green screen set up in terms of pulling a clean chromakey? Is it much easier to accomplish?

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

I have found they are best used for fast set ups, where you don't have a lot of time to light a screen properly due to time in a new location, also a bit more flexibility and less gear when you need blue vs green.
Comparing the retro reflective screen to a normal screen, its exactly the same to me if the normal screen is lit properly and you have good separation.
Bottom line I guess is price vs time... if you have a few dollars that you want to use to shave a few seconds and you want to have a cool piece of kit, then get it. If you just need the job done, nothing beats 50$ screen and a few minutes of tweaking lights.

But keep in mind, you have to light your subject well in either case.
