Shooting Videos: Green Screen Studios

By Phil Guye

Whether you are a beginner or a professional, when it comes to making use of green screen studio, you are all practically on the same boat. Being in the same environment makes you susceptible to following the same set of guidelines and in any case whether you are financed by a multi-billion project, or you just easy want to shoot a Happy Birthday video for your other half, you have to follow the same set of rules in using green screen studios.

First of all how do green screen studios work? The entire idea of green screens and blue screens were highly well-liked way back in the seventy's when you'll see the tacky but iconic weatherman delivering the report and pointing at a gigantic animated map beside him which would at times switch to photos and images and until later on returning to the map.

What they do is that they make the weatherman stand in front of a green background and then deliver his report there. After that, the editors get the video to take out the green background or the blue background and then substitute it with an image of the map and the other footage that they'll be putting in there.

During that time, a lot of costs are saved because of the green screen. Imagine not having to prepare numerous props and travelling to locations to deliver a scene. In modern times, the green screen has shown its purpose not only in weather reporting but in creating upscale pictures with special effects. A perfect example will be that of Star Wars. From there it has escalated to a different type of art form. The modernity of software available today has made great things possible through the use of green screen studios.

A lot of software these days supports recording and editing videos in chroma background. Due to this, practically anyone with a big basement or a garage and one who knows the best way to correctly light up a background can make CGI effects that would have made seventy's Sci Fi directors drool. If you can make green screen studio in your house, then the next responsibility will get left to learning the way to edit it. This is where things become a little more complicated. It will also be a test of your concerns. Are you prepared to spend a great deal of time, effort and not to mention the learning curve of creating your own videos?
