Chromatte Fabric is 4.5 feet wide and is sold only by square foot. Chromatte is a fabric designed specifically for use as a background for Chromakey production. Unlike conventional Chromakey fabrics that are usually blue or green in colour, in ambient light Chromatte is grey to the eye. The fabric contains millions of tiny glass beads that act as reflectors: when any light – such as the directional light from Reflecmedia’s lens-mounted LiteRing – hits the fabric, it is returned on the same path back into the camera’s lens. This retro-reflective process means the camera ‘sees’ the apparently grey fabric as a perfectly even blue or green background.
