@@RobSigler quick question on perspective, I’m assuming distance from green screen and subject matters for perspective?

@RobSigler 2 жыл бұрын

@@JasonOsbornePhotography actually it doesn't matter. There is really no perspective in the image, because you are providing the background. Now, if you are compositing a headshot into a city scene, perspective would be a concern for matching the headshot and the 'fake' background. But as far as the green screen is concerned, no perspective. That being said, it's nice to be able to put your subject as far away from the green screen as possible while still being able to fill your frame with green. This helps prevent any green spill onto the subject.

Thank you for a couple of questions 1- how far from the green screen should the subject be 2- what would be the best aperture to use?

@RobSigler Жыл бұрын

Hi! Distance from the screen really doesn't matter because you are cutting it out. However, if you are too close to it, green can spill onto your subject. I get the subject far enough away so that the green fills the frame. The best aperture is a closed aperture. It's hard to extract images that have a shallow depth of field. The harder the edge, the easier it is to extract. Happy shooting!

@archibald609 3 жыл бұрын

Rob would this lighting setup work outside, in the early morning? Thanks

@RobSigler 3 жыл бұрын

Sure...if shooting outside, make sure you are completely in the shade. The 'natural' light can be your fill light, and set your main light / kicker lights to be about a stop or two above the ambient reading. This way, YOU are controlling the light. Let me know if you need help...I'm happy to lend a hand. :)

@RobSigler 2 жыл бұрын

It’s just a regular brush. Large and soft. You can make the brush larger by holding option and command, then clicking and dragging to the right or left. You can control the hardness by holding the same keys white clicking and dragging up and down. Or in the brush tool, right click and make the necessary adjustments. I hope that helps. Let me know if it doesn’t.
