Review from Sci-Fi-London
Posted on May 15th, 2009 No commentsA very nice review from Robert Grant at Sci-Fi-London.
Written with the indie filmmaker in mind ‘Greenscreen Made Easy’ follows a beautifully logical path through the entire process of pre-production, production and post-production from buying or building your greenscreen (or blue, and it explains that as well) through shooting your backgrounds, lighting for greenscreen, positioning your actors, techniques for clean keys, prepping for post-production, getting rid of artifacts, different plug-ins, blending, colouring, making it believable and using CGI backgrounds.

MFM’s Ryan Graham gives GreenScreen Made Easy a 9.6!
Posted on March 6th, 2009 No commentsIndie filmmaker and reviewer Ryan Graham gave Jeremy Hanke and Michele Yamazaki the coveted MicroFilmmaker Magazine’s Award of Superiority in his insightful review of GreenScreen Made Easy!
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. – Ryan Graham, MicroFilmmaker Magazine, 9.6 out of 10

Review by Dominic von Riedemann
Posted on March 5th, 2009 No commentsCheck out the latest review by Dominic von Riedemann for Suite101.com of the book!
Want an introduction to the art of GreenScreen? Look no further than Jeremy Hanke & Michele Yamazaki’s GreenScreen Made Easy. It gets an 8/10.
Not bad! As far as the comment about the software going out of date, that’s an issue with any book that discusses software. We plan to write follow up editions to address new software and new techniques we come across.
Thanks for the awesome review!
