greenscreen
Creating a green screen composite starts by filming a subject in front of an evenly lit, bright green (or blue) background. Our 240 sq ft green screen is made from a fabric called Lastolite, a finely knitted material that does not crease and is far superior to paper or paint, it is also reversible in case we need blue. The captured footage is then taking into our compositing software where we replace the green with another image, CGI or video footage known as the background plate.
Using this technique we can place you anywhere. A common application for us is to place the filmed subject in a branded 3D virtual studio for corporate videos. Another is for TV commercial production where we want to have the filmed subject interact with things that would otherwise be impossible to film. A good example of this is the Just Ask Baby webisodes viewable in our portfolio, we concepted and created the 60 webisodes that contained two 3D environments, a 'talk show' set and a 'childs bedroom' set. Using green screen allowed us to have a nine month old baby boy called Joey appear to host an educational talk show about... babies ! We shot all of the live action in our green screen studio, a total of 360 minutes of finished material. When done right, the illusion is very effective.
The biggest challenge when setting up a blue screen or green screen is even lighting and the avoidance of shadow, because it is best to have as narrow a color range as possible being replaced. Glasses also create a challenge when trying to pull a good key, they should be avoided if at all possible..
