How to set up a Clean Green Screen Shot?



Modern video production is more about post-production editing that finding the right locations. Why waste so much of time and money when you can simply remove the background and place the actors at a setting that you or your client wishes to in a few minutes, right from your workspace. No! No! We ain’t talking about Time-Travel, the magic happens with the help of the green screen that helps easily separate the subject from the background. Highly beneficial for photographers producing High-quality stock videos, here we help you with setting up a clean Green Screen Shot for a Stock Footage Video production.

Green-Screen
An ideal green screen required to shoot an HD stock video would be a green painted wall but that’s not always available. Green can also be replaced with a deep blue wall. But, because both of these colors in walls may not be easily available for shooting, trying DIY (Do IT Yourself) may be a great option. You, can make a green screen with a smooth, non-textured, non-reflective fabric and simply hang it on a stand. If your 4k video footage requires a full-body shot of the subject, you will need a seamless background. One that starts from above the head and stretches through the floor without any wrinkles.

While DIY is always the most cost-effective way, but for increased ease, you can easily opt to buy one of the green screens available in both online and offline stores for your high-quality stock videos.

Lighting
Lights and shadows in general as well play a very important role in photography, but it is all the more important on a green screen. High-quality stock videos shot on a green screen needs to be separated from the background. To make the post-production work simpler and the final product looks natural, make sure there are no shadows on the green screen and the screen is evenly lit.

Conclusion
Lesser the size of the subject, the lesser will be the time needed in the editing room. Also, extreme care must be taken while shooting each frame to reduce post-production work for HD stock videos.
