Green Screen Studios: Inexpensive Magic

By Phillip Guye

Green Screen Studios is an inexpensive video and filmmaking technique in which 2 frames are melded into one. It's also commonly called Chroma key or sometimes color keying. A prominent use is in TV weather circulars where the weather person seems to be standing in front of a large graphic display. What happens in truth is that the weather person stands in front of a blank Green Screen Studios. Different graphic displays are then digitally added to the blank green portions to complete the illusion.

Green is a preferred color because it is so different from human skin color that good separation is achieved . It is also the color to which digital cameras are most sensitive. The other available color blue is less beneficial because it's a common color in both male and female clothing and requires brighter lighting. Plenty of the more moderen Star Wars flicks make intensive use of color keying strategies. Green Screen Studios is also far cheaper than having your characters or props in front of an actual projection or TV screen.

Any project that involves green screen production should require the same kind of homework in sourcing an acceptable Green Screen Studios as a sound stage for a movie or a recording studio for music. The taping or filming of your characters or your props in front of a Green Screen Studios and the subsequent keying out of the green background needs skilled and accomplished technicians.

It is accepted that cost will be a vital consideration and that Green Screen Studios will charge based on the size and the standard of the equipment and the talents of their technicians. This has got to be balanced out against the proven fact that cheap facilities might be deadly for the quality of your project. Conversely, pricey facilities might be a waste of money given the production that you am considering. A good Green Screen Studios will offer such facilities as adequate stage size, lighting, green rooms and air con .A three wall cyclorama is a bonus if your project involves plenty of movement by the characters. Other key considerations would be privacy, comfort and acceptable power availability.

In choosing the right Green Screen Studios you need to be sure that the color is completely even and the surface fully flat. The screen also has to have the right dimensions. It is suggested that you go through every shot you plan and then measure the screen area so that you have the right dimensions. Make allowance for a little extra in case you must widen or frame the shot more than you had imagined. Examine the area on either side of the screen to make sure that there's enough space to put your lights. Ultimately, get the maximum possible space between your characters or props and the screen itself. This will make the job of lighting a lot less complicated.
