What do you need to getstarted with green screen photography?


And How to get best results during chroma photography -

  • Agreen background or a blue background.
    • Greencolor is not essential for getting the digital effect you want. Youcouldeasily usea blue screeen background and get the same digital effect as the greenbackground. It wont make a difference. Just try to get whatever colorout of blue or green is easilyavailable and is economical.
    • Thiscould be a canvas backdrop or painton a wall. If this is a canvas, muslin cloth is preferable as abackdrop. While it preferred by most software that the backdrop beneatly ironed, we understand it is not always practicle to iron thebackdrop. So we designed our green screen program to work well with areasonable level of wrinkles in the backdrop. You can hang the backdropagainst a wall and spread it out nicely. If the background is paint,please make sure that the paint is of decent quality but not atall glossy. The glossy paint is going to reflect light and leave hotspot reflections at several points where light reflection is maximumand it will spoil the overall compositing of the digital photo. In theend this will lead to poor results despite the best quality of thesoftware. It not magic afterall!
  • Properlighting
    • Thelighting should be from at least two sides to evenly light up thebackground. The lighting should be such that the subject will leave noshadows. The better lit your backdrop is during the photo shoot, thebetter off you the results of the software! The color keying operationis better if lighting is even. But better lighting doesn't mean extra bright lights! Please be reasonable.
  • Properclothing for the talent or the subject of the photography
    • Whilethe sense of fashion is upto the model and to you, please do not wearshiny material. Please avoid wearing metallic accessories like metallic band, jewellery etc. The reason for this is that these shinysurface will reflect the green background and over spill. Parts of thesubject might get erased when thephoto is composited using the software program.
  • Positionof the talent
    • Keepher at least 6 feet from the green backdrop. Many people recommend adistanceof about 8 feet from the green or blue backdrop but we understand thatnot everyone has the luxury of a large space in their studio.
  • Yourphoto camera and our green screen photography software. Remember, manyprofessional photographers have used this technology before you.
  • Creativity!
    • Wehave worked hard and given our best to design our editing software toboost your creativity. You can just focus on selecting the bestsuitable backdrops for your subjects.

Why use green background in photograph

Short answer to why green background for photos: It is most different from the human skin tones.
Long answer to why green: There are scientific and practical reasonsbehind using green backgrounds or blue backgrounds in photography.Suppose you use a black background behind the person beingphotographed. What would happen? The the black color is keyed out, theblack color in the person's and eyes would also be masked out. That is,his hair would vanish and so would the color of his eyes (ifblack). Similarly a pink background would make the pink in theskin of a person vanish.
Green and blue are the two color which have been known to effective inphoto compositing because they are the farthest removed from the skintones of most humans. However if a person has green hair, a greenbackground would indeed make her hair disappear in the resultingprocessed photo. In such a case a blue background would be more suited.
In practical applications such as weather forecasting studios,professional advertising setups, green has become more popular becauseblue is also a color that is poplularly used in clothes, especiallymen's clothing be it shirts, coats, trousers, ties. Many times, thereare blue shades that people wear and they tend to interfere with theblue background. Because of these reasons green has indeed become verypopular with photographers and video studios alike.
