The Magic Of Green Screen Studios

By Phil Guye

Green Screen Studios is a cheap video and filmmaking method in which two frames are melded into one. It is also ordinarily called Chroma key or sometimes color keying. A notable use is in TV weather bulletins where the weather person looks to be standing in front of a giant graphic display. What happens actually 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 finish the illusion.

Green is a preferential color because it's so different from human skin color that good separation is attained. It's also the color to which digital cameras are most sensitive. The other available color blue is less advantageous because it's a common color in both masculine and feminine clothing and needs brighter lighting. Lots of the more modern Star Wars films make intensive use of color keying strategies. Green Screen Studios is also far less expensive than having your characters or props in front of an actual projection or television screen.

Any project that involves green screen production should require the same kind of homework in sourcing an appropriate Green Screen Studios as a sound stage for a picture 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 an imperative consideration and that Green Screen Studios will charge primarily based on the size and the quality of the gear and the skills of their technicians. This must be balanced out against the proven fact that inexpensive facilities could be deadly for the quality of your project. Conversely, dear facilities could be a waste of money given the production that you am thinking. A good Green Screen Studios will be offering such facilities as acceptable stage size, lighting, green rooms and air-conditioning. A three wall cyclorama is a bonus if your project involves lots of movement by the characters. Other key considerations would be privacy, comfort and satisfactory power availability.

In picking the right Green Screen Studios you need to be certain the color is totally even and the surface totally flat. The screen also has to have the right dimensions. It is generally recommended that you go through each 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 want to dilate or frame the shot more than you had visualized. Inspect the area on either side of the screen to make sure that there is sufficient space to place your lights. Finally, get the maximum possible space between your characters or props and the screen itself. This could make the job of lighting a lot less complicated.
