The Ultimate Small Room Greenscreen Guide

Nobody thinks they have enough room to do greenscreen well, let alone perfectly.
This video is going to show you how to get a nearly pristine result lighting a 6 x 6' area, which is more than enough for almost anyone standing by themselves.
You're even getting a floor plan and a complete resource guide for everything you'll see going on in the video.
It doesn't just demonstrate all the stuff set up and working, though it does do that. It gives you all the measurements, wattages, types of instruments, how to expose for it all, and even exactly where you need to stand.
There isn't much left out.
But you tell me. :)
To make the most out of this revolution in green screen, you may want to get your free copy of The Ultimate Small Room Green Screen Guide, freshly updated and revised for 2024.
Pick that up inside this free course on all things green screen: visibleauthority.com/greenscr...
*Note: Apologies to the sharp-eared listeners who pointed out my audio coming out of only one channel. It kind of got away from me. I hope that won't put you off from trying the strategies described. And just as an FYI, there are about 200 more videos here on the channel with no audio problems. :)

I just want to make some decent videos for music to put on KZfaq. I’m not looking for something extra special, I’m just looking for something that’s sort of special. I’m not gonna spend thousands of dollars on something that I’m already spending thousands of dollars on my musical equipment.I’m not about to spend more than what I’m spending or even a 2/3 I’m looking for maybe a quarter of what I’m spending or less to make a decent For A decent music video plain and simple. Maybe in time to come if I have that many more years left I’m already 55 and I don’t have the time left in my life to go through all of this kind of crap.! I just want something that simple easy to control and get it to where it looks kind of funny but serious at the same time.

Thank you so much. While there are several green screen how-to videos, you are the only one that addresses the issues of distances and relative strength of lights between the GS lights and the key and fill lights. I followed your plan to a t, even buying LEDs to even out the GS lighting. And no one else mentioned the light sensors of various cameras. Bravo.

You inspired me to convert a small guest room into a studio. You're right -- get enough even lighting on the background, and it keys out nicely. I've done it with 4 LED light panels, 1 at each corner. The 2 top ones bounced from the ceiling to soften them up, and the 2 bottom ones are diffused lights (110 degree spread), so it works.

*Can I add an 8th tip?* For using a backlight to light up the subject from behind I often use a magenta-ish colored filter. When a rim is created using a backlight, it can blend with the green spill. But when it does, magenta + green = white, since green is opposite of magenta in the colorwheel, or video color spectrum. This makes for much cleaner keys. Especially when the subject has fuzzy or spiky hair 🤓 -EDIT- This magenta trick I use is to avoid the green spill. So, use it ever so slightly. Or the subject will look like a fairy tale character. Try to see where green-spill might show up. When the subject has lots of fuzzy hair, my best experience is to have the light right behind the subject, if possible. So that the subject is right between the magenta light and the camera.

LOVED your presentation. It was informative and very soothing. I like your calm voice presentation. Makes for an easier reception of the information being shared. I bought a foldable greenscreen unit which helps tremendously in eliminating wrinkles which cause shadows. I need to buy another set of lights in order to better light the subject. I've subscribed to your tutorials and look forward to learning more from you. Thank You.
