Photography Helpful Hints
What are the basics of green screen photography?
I just bought a green “chroma-sreen” for photography. Does anyone have helpful-hints for the novice green-screener? I have 16 years in photography, film & digital. I also have studio lighting and various other equipment. Get as technical as you want – I’m all ears.
Well, Nikonfoto is right about the green cast but not so that is will take away the ease and joy of working with green screen.
Mainly just set up your lights to get the best exposure of your subject. Like always you will be lighting the subject; not the back ground. You want the best skin tone you can light.
I have found that when I do have a green cast it us usually a problem when my client is wearing white. It is easy enough to correct in Photoshop. Layers/adjustment layer/ hue saturation. Go to green and lower the saturation level a bit until it looks right. Not a big hairy deal.
However I have found when photographing metal objects there is more of a cast but the same method works great.
As for using white for your background, you do not get a clean erase. The magic erase too will erase everything else that is white. Tennis shoes, stripes in clothing, etc… Hence the neon green.
