The Reasons Why You Should Use Green Screen Los Angeles

By Phillip Guye


Photographers are currently into green screen Los Angeles. Green screen photography is when you photograph your subject in front of a green backdrop and then the software applications removes all of the green in the photograph. After that you can add any type of background behind or in front of the person you just took. The computer software will quickly merge the two pictures together creating one excellent fantasy picture.

Green screen studio kits are used to superimpose a subject on a backdrop. Green screens work by a cameraperson shooting a subject against the green background and then uploading the footage to a personal computer, where the green background is taken away and substituted with another background. Green screens can be found as a complete kit with all the elements you'd need, however, you can also create some of the equipment, or maybe you like to purchase the items separately. A full green screen studio kit should have at least a green screen, a background support and two lights for the background.

By filming a person in front of a green screen, you can use chroma key in order to replace that shade of green with a different image, which makes it appear like the individual is in front of a different background. Green or blue are the colors usually chosen because they're the furthest away from the color of skin, making certain that pieces of the actor or actress don't blend into the background. You can buy costly green screens to take your special effects.

To create a green screen, visit your nearby hardware shop and choose several paint samples in the bright green color area. A few of more appropriate shades can be found in the "kid's room" paint area. Select about six different shades of green and bring them back home. Spread out the different colored paint swatches out on the floor and without having your videos lights, shoot the samples for about thirty seconds. Capture the footage and place the green screen filter on the clip. Depending on your editing program, create a layer just below the one you just taken and put a solid black jpg. Adjust the controls till you find which color "keys" out the best. Go back to your nearby hardware store and have the paint department produce a gallon of the green paint which you chose. Then proceed to the flooring department and purchase the least expensive piece of linoleum that they carry. Paint the back of the linoleum with the green paint and when dry, hang it up and shoot away.

Green screen Los Angeles work can be useful to your studio's net profit. Those who do corporate portraiture could have a number of clients who like to have their employees photographed on location in the workplace. You just move all of the gear into their offices at one time, document the very best locations for backgrounds, light them just like portrait backgrounds, and make up a file of all those images. Transporting in and setting up lighting is really a serious interruption to the general flow of an office. Consider the value to the clients if you just have to do that every couple of years, while you shoot their new employees in the convenience of your studio, dropping in backgrounds along the way.
