Green Screen Video Tutorial

"We already looked at a few different aspects when it comes to chroma keying. This time, we re gonna take a look at the green screen pre-production process. First up, is actually setting up the screen and getting it ready for your production. Next up, we re gonna take a look at the lighting. After that, we re gonna take a look at some common areas and the simple fixes behind them. And, lastly, we re gonna take a look at selling the effect. I m Tom Skowronski and this is green screen set up. Now, the first aspect to setting up the green screen is to make sure that it s pulled tight and that you have no holes or ripples in the screen so you don t damage the effect.

So, this is a very good green screen that we have today. I wanna have enough head room and I want to have enough room to my sides and enough room to the floor so that I m entirely covered with the green screen. Now, if we re gonna put something above my head, off to the right, below me, behind me, everything s gonna work because we have enough space in this area. So, now that I have everything set up, a key thing that I m gonna be looking at in step number two, and that s the lighting process. Now, when it comes to setting up the lights, one of the main things that we need to stay consistent with is to make sure that the green screen is lit evenly. So, both of our lights need to stay in the same distance from the screen and hit the screen with the same amount of intensity. Now, we re gonna pretend that we have an invisible line that lines up both of these lights so that when they do hit this screen, they hit em at the...
