DOH! I did not say that! =:O
I said reflecmedia is a different approach that doesn't necessarily reveal significant benefits. It's like six-of-one, half-dozen-of-the-other. In my experience with it, Reflecmedia is not some super-magical cure-all; it takes just about as much effort as the traditional method does. It's easier to set up, quicker to grab a key, but you'll still see wrinkles and folds and seams and such. If I was looking at spending $7,000 to improve my chroma-key results, I'd probably choose to spend that money on a better (i.e., 4:2:2) camera before spending it on the reflecmedia system. But that doesn't mean reflecmedia is bad (or that it sucks eggs!) We used it at length, and it is a workable system.
I just expected more from it, is all...

Black foam core, and black wrap, control spill by sucking up the light and causing it to cease to exist. White foam core would cause the light to bounce around; black causes the light to simply stop (well, it converts it from light to heat, technically). Foam core is cheap and easy to use, black wrap is superb for the purpose because it can be easily molded into whatever shape you need.
