Another reason for shooting on a blue screen over a greenscreen is greenscreens often leave a more contaminated edge while blue screens preserve detail better. Blue screens also work better for night scenes because less contamination and any blue spill will feel more natural. If you key an actor on a green screen and composite them onto a dark shot the edge will be harder to make natural. Green screens for day blue screens for night scenes.

Thank you so much for this! No wonder I was having so much trouble. I had the subject right in front of the green screen and had issues properly lighting both the subject and the green screen simultaneously and had a problem with editing due to spilling

Hi! I stumbled across this video and didnt realize how much I was doing wrong. Thank you for this and I look forward to more!

Every scene with Lt. Dan in Forrest Gump! Glad to see Charmichael here so often. Good tips btw!

that is the best green screen tips and tutorial I have seen on youtube so far. To the point, and thanks for sharing.

The Wolf of Wall Street scene when he was walking on the bridge in Venice. The green screen was used to construct the set extension. The bridge was merely a lament pattern laid down on the floor. There was a green screen placed in that deep background to be used as a plate. The entire environment was then constructed around them in 3D renderings. Another scene similarly constructed was from The Walk. In order to get the vintage New York city scape, the production shoot on location in New York neighborhoods, but used very large green screens in deep BG as a reference plate. They would track the screen and then use the camera data to mimic in a CG render of old style and textured New York Buildings. Many people never realize these are green screened shots because the green screen is used as a set extension. the CG images are layered over and incorporated with the already existing scenery!

Thank you! Great information.

Awesome guys! Very great tips in a very short time!

Keep your green screen tight, light it even and under the level of your key.Introduce backlight to help with separation and keep subject as far away from the screen to avoid green spill onto the costume.

Sweet and short, loved it.

Sweet. This will really help with our short horror film this year. Thanks!

The best way to light a green screen is to light with kenos, from above (this is important), with green bulbs. The green bulbs will saturate the green screen and bring out the color for better keying. Also, your subject should be at least 6 to 8 feet away or more for a better key.

Very helpful, thanks guys

This was informative af, thanks!

Putting a studio/green room together for my advertising campaign...thank you for the tips.

Does shooting with a more open F Stop help make for a better key? Would f/2.8 or f/5.6 be better? Also, thoughts on upping the shutter speed to 1/100 to help freeze action making the key better as well?

thanks guys great tips!

Great video, although I wish there would have been a demonstration of the “moving lights” at the end. Thanks!

Appreciate the tips! thank you :)

The best green screen tutorial on KZfaq

Very awesome, we need a tutorial about lighting gags

I was the 1000th like and thanks this helped a lot. My problem was my green screen was not evenly lit.

Very informative!

My Favorite movie in which Green scene work was done was the movie Inception ... One can almost deny any VFX work that was done. It was that seamless. Thanks for the video guys ! Your Products Rock.☺

the entirety of Sin City! such a perfect example of how green screen can be used!

It’s Carmichael!! Hi Carmichael your awesome

Fabulous video guys 👍🏻😎

sweet video! cool to hear some strategies used! :>

Thank you

I'm broke, so I'm using a bedsheet with a projector behind it. The menu screen is set to green, so it lights up the white sheet green. It works for now until I get better at after effects and can justify a more expensive setup.

David Fincher "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" the scene inside the Millennium magazine offices with Blomkvist (Daniel Craig) and Erika Berger (Robin Wright). All of the windows that look to the EXT are green screen. Actually, with many of Fincher's more recent works, most interior sets are blue/green screened for windows and doors.

You forgot to iron /steam your fabric! and stretch it out as much as you can. not really gonna matter for users with gh4, a7s, but if you use a cheaper camera like canon t2i , it will help a lot

Thanks

Question... when are the NAB showcased LS-C20 mini fresnels coming out?

Great tutorial! Btw, are those expensive fabric green screens any better than the paper rolls??

Thanks! What if I don't need to match my subject with any background (in short: gonna be transparent bg), can I then light my background first?

If you don't have a proffesional moniter I think you can use an instant camera (like Kubrick did, yet he didn't use greenscreens (he used other tools)) to check for light and shade and problems that may occur. It works especially well if you're using film.

Zodiac, the scene outside when police investigate the cab driver's murder. I was blown away when I found out they had shot that in a studio with a wrap around green screen and 3D markers.

I am painting my bedroom wall with rosco digicomp HD paint. I want permanent lighting in the ceiling to light it. I would prefer Philips hue bulbs. B22 806 lumen white ambiance are the bulbs I’m using throughout the house - all voice controlled with accessories. I was thinking maybe five in a bar along the ceiling in front of the wall - 4 for the screen and 1 for the backlight. What do you think?

What kind of lights are you guys using here to light the green screen? I'm limited on both space and storage space and so don't want to have to use full size bank lights. Do yours illuminate it as well as a bank? And with just 2?

Paint is best? Matte? What’s the name of the shade? Thanks!

❤️

is there like one cost effective package you can recommend for a green screen kit, of course best quality too.

I bought the emart green screen lighting kit and I realized after turning it on in my apartment that actually the key to good home decor is lighting....try using a green screen lighting kit to light your home instead of just a normal lamps and stuff and you'll know what I mean I think I found another secret to awesome home decor if you don't mind your home looking like a studio which is pretty awesome 😎👍'its what I do!

What is a good light to use for lighting the green screen. Price range about 400€ for 2. Already have lights for a 3-point-lighting. Just wanna use it for a news segment, nothing fancy, really simple green screen use.

can you comment about white balance when background and subject lighting color temperature s are different

Hey there, I need a green/blue screen for several youtube interviews. Thing is that I have very little room in my room. Any recommendations? I have same exact F light you say I should avoid at minute 2:57 on my bedroom X'D I'm also on a budget

what size is the collapsible green screen in this video? what minimum size for full body?

what about a green screen iluminated by natural light? would that work?

Three questions: 1. What paint would I use for my wall, if i were to make that my first choice? Would it require non-reflective paint? 2. What lights would you recommend? Is there a green bulb that makes it better or worse? 3. How don't you guys don't already have views in the ten's of millions? On another note, for so many of these videos saying that our problem is the lighting but not even hinting at the type or brand of lights we need? Is so Californian.

What are the minimum stuffs we need to Use Green Screen?

If you don't get your green screen even around your subject you can just do more than one keying to key out any other shades of the green. More work but sometimes you don't have the right lighting setup at your disposal.

Yo CMike is here!!!! Cool..!

The Shallows - I didn't realize most of those shots when she was stranded on the rock was green screened.

The dock scene in Italy from Wolf of Wall Street.

shutter island - ruffalo and dicaprio on the ship in the beginning.

Have you decided on the winner?

For samsung phones, what app can I download for the colour value?

Aww I wanted to see the results 😢

In his 50-year career directing movies, Woody Allen (81) recently used a green screen for the first time for 2016's CAFE SOCIETY, in the scene where Jesse Eisenberg and Kristin Stewart drive to the Hollywood sign of the 1930s, proving definitively that you're never too old to learn new things.

Yeah - that's much better.

When is the winner being announced?

thanks,for this expenssive unattainable on bugdet tips, next video, how to repaint your ferrari

Anything is easier though if you have money

We use a green screen for our high school newscast. This year, we want to add a LCD monitor behind the anchors so we can play graphics and video in the monitor. No problem, except that our logo is blue and yellow and when we key out the green screen in our Tricaster, the logo becomes transparent. If we adjust far enough to get the logo to look correct, the green screen begins to appear. Can this be solved by adding separate lights to the green screen and the anchors? Right now, we pretty much just have the area flooded. Any help is appreciated, or lincolnlive@gjps.org. Thanks.

Your voice sounds very similar to Dwayne "The Roc" Johnson :-)

Cmike!

What if my subject is reflective and I have to make the floor green as well? How can I avoid spill on the subject?

so technically we're all red

why should i avoid 8 bit 4:2:0 in green screen?

Man I wish the giveaway was still going on, David Fincher anything.

The scene in SKYFALL where they blow up the MI6 building They actually built a huge green screen structure and on top of it blew up a model of the top of the actual building, then keyed-in the bottom of it.

I know the giveaway is over. A movie that you would think didn't have green screen in it was "The Room" for the famous "oh hi mark" scene.

Maybe I was looking for more technical information about the lights and color of the green screen. Most viewers I assume are looking to find the MOST OPTIOMAL conditions and WHY they used those specific lights in the film cuts you used in the beginning.

Many scenes in Gone Girl, but if I had to pick one, the city apartment scene.

I have two scenes, if that's okay? All the scenes of the Mickelvoss Twins from The Social Network (Armie Hammer is NOT a twin!), and the birth of the newborn baby in Children of Men (scary good VFX).

What did you say at the beginning, sorry with that loud into music blasting out into my headphones and the quiet voice it's just crazy and my ears aren't too happy.

The oner from 'Hugo'

Good tips for lighting, thank you, but you guys nearly killed me with the intro music volume.

In The Avengers all of the war scenes in the city were greenscreened (quite well if I may add)

Karmicheal!

"PERFECTLY LIT! " xD

In The Nice Guys when Ryan Gosling and Russel Crowe is in the elevator the background is green screen :)

Logan in 'London' Gilmore Girls on Netflix - green screen.

What IRE do you want your green screen to be? I see many different ideas on what that should be online and from the video, it looked like you're IRE was around 70-80.

The wolf of wall street when they are walking toward the yacht in Europe.

I like wearing green. Blue screen for me.

What software u used in the video to remove the greenscreen?

holy shit i didn't expect to see carmike on this vid

why avoid 8bit ?? can some1 please tell me

It said...Avoid cameras with 8bit...…………...why?? What if you shoot with the Canon 5d mark iv

I use blue screen if I want to put the subject in a dark place. Then I don't have to worry too much about the green edges
