green screen by do ink app
(added 8/15/14)

I've had this app for a looooooong time. Up until a couple of months ago, I've never found a combination of backdrop screen and floor that I've really liked. After all, to be fully immersive in the green screen effect, it needs to be all around you. I've had the backdrop sheet for many years and it works great....
​The flooring was difficult for me to find. I tried foam tiles that were supposed to be green but ended up being too yellowish to use with any good results. Then one day I Googled "green flooring". Up came a carpet from a company in Illinois called... ​

Some have wondered how I created the video below.  The app is called "PicPlyPost".  With this app you can created multiple visual formats that contain either videos or animated GIFs.  Super easy to use and the results are awesome.

I can't believe I've waited so long to review this app for movie making.  To be honest, this was this first app I used to create movies back in the summer of 2012.  The new update (October 2013) is great.  So many new features and super easy to use.  Go to the "Projector Activities" page on this website to see examples of videos made with iMovie.
