Making a green screen video with action figures is a fucking asshole let me tell you:

- To motion track a cartoon mouth on their faces you need zero motion blur, which means shooting at a super high shutter speed (1/400 was as far as we could push it), which means you need LOTS of light

- You also need the green screen far enough away from the shiny plastic to not reflect green, and the further away, the bigger the screen needs to be to fill the camera view. That also means the screen needs its OWN lights

- You ALSO need to shoot at a high f stop (5.6 for this) so that you get a deeper depth of field and more of the figure in focus (otherwise parts look soft, like the arm furthest away) which means you need even MORE light

- And after all of that, you have to be careful you don't push the fstop or shutter speed too far or overcompensate with your camera's ISO or you end up with shitty grainy footage (somewhat visible in the last Castle Gayskull)

These were all pitfalls that made the first Castle Gayskull a fucking nightmare, so to skip all the headache trying to edit this later we'll be tripping over lightstands for the next 2 days  ^^^ wish us luck 🤞
