5 Steps To Getting Better Videos

By Larry Jiau


All of the country, green screen studios have increased in popularity in video productions. A lot of things you seen on TV or in movies was filmed using a green screen. Despite the prevalence of green screens, many people do not know what they are or what they can do. Using green screen technology can make your video production more fun and exciting. If you are new to producing videos, then reading about green screens can assist you in creating the quality of video you desire.

By using a green screen you can set your video in any location you want. You can film during a hurricane, in the middle of a sunset, or even while floating in space; all from your basement! Some people right now are wondering how this is even possible. During the editing process, you can literally put any background in place of the green screen background. The audience will never see the green screen, but instead, a whatever setting the director intended. Whether you are a professional or an amateur, you now have the ability to create high-tech videos.

Green screens have been used to make many famous productions. Think about Star Wars and all the seemingly impossible events that take place in those movies. How do you think they were able to create such effects? Green screen technology gave George Lucas the ability to create arguably the greatest epic of all time. Almost the entire trilogy was green screen generated.

There are a few things to know before you start using green screens. The clothes your actors are wearing are very important. Interestingly enough, your actors must not wear blue or green clothing. Blue and green clothes cause your actors to appear invisible in the final take because they blend in with the green screen. You may also find that this happens if they are wearing flamboyant patterns or stripes. Shiny surfaces, like from watches or jewelry, will cause a green reflection to appear in your final take. These inconveniences can be highly annoying, but they are easily fixed.

Green screens require excellent lighting. Poor lighting will cause shadows to appear in your videos. Also, the software used for green screens may not be able to recognize dark colors, and if that happens, your background will appear dull and inauthentic. six feet is about the appropriate distance your actors need to stand from the screen. This distance is to ensure that there are no shadows or green spill in the final production.

Green screen technology has proved to be a great tool for video production. However, it is not easy and takes a producer who knows what he's doing. You can learn how to use one by consulting a video production professional. You could also use many applications that have step by step instructions built in. Green screen technology has changed the face of video production and given producers the chance to make better videos than they ever could have imagined.
