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 background. Green screens work by a cameraperson capturing a subject against the green background and then uploading the footage to a personal computer, where the green background is removed and substituted with a different background. Green screens are available as a full kit with all of the elements you would need, but you can also make some of the equipment, or perhaps you like to purchase the items separately. A complete green screen studio kit must have at least a green screen, a background support and two lights for the background.

By shooting a person in front of a green screen, you can utilize chroma key in order to replace that shade of green with another picture, which makes it appear like the individual is in front of a different background. Green or blue are the shades of preference because they are the furthest from the color of skin, making sure pieces of the actor don't merge into the background. You can buy pricey green screens to shoot your special effects.

In order to create a green screen, visit your nearby hardware shop and select several paint swatches in the bright green color area. Some of more appropriate shades exist in the "kid's room" paint area. Select about 6 different shades of green and take them back home. Spread the different colored paint swatches on the floor and with no your videos lights, shoot the swatches for about half a minute. Take the footage and place the green screen filter on the clip. Depending on your editing software, create a layer just under the one you just captured and place a solid black jpg. Adjust the controls until you find which color "keys" out the very best. Go back to your nearby hardware shop and have the paint department produce a gallon of the green paint which you selected. After that proceed to the flooring department and buy the lowest priced piece of linoleum they carry. Paint the back of the linoleum using the green paint and once 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.
