I just got a Macbook air and I played with the Photobooth, and in the effects there's this backdrop thing, but everytime I use it the background isn't really right or real looking. What do I need to make it work? Do i need a backdrop or some lights(it's best if I don't because I don't have space in my house)? Or can I set something up myself that I already have? Thanks!
If it is, you may need a green or blue sheet behind you to make it work. It's like what they use in movies or what the weather man uses. It's gotta be a really full blue or green though. Nothing too light or faded.
You could also just try it wearing a blue or green shirt and have some fun with that. Anything blue or green will be covered up by whatever the backdrop is supposed to be.
