I have a green screen/lights set up that I use for film but this specific job is photography (with the Canon T2i). </p> <p>I'm confident in the project even with its ridiculousness considered however I can't decide on one thing: should I do this green screen set up outside (to match the light of the original photo) or should I go ahead and light it well inside and match the original in Adobe Photoshop? I've never had problems doing that but I've seen this office's other "office photos" and they look flawless with Photoshop and everything. Thanks in advance if you can push me towards the most efficient way.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/video-recording-formats-and-editing-software#post-48655 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 10:49:10 +0000 rocrob 48655@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I am in the process of trying to select a digital camcorder for some projects I plan on doing and have a question about some of the various video recording formats in order to narrow down which camcorder to buy.  My projects will primarily be for a web site I plan on publishing and for YouTube.  My preference is to shoot videos with a look similiar to what you see on reality shows, TV news, The Daily Show; in essence, most of the videos will not have the film look.  I also plan to do blue or green screen backgrounds for some of my videos and incorporate some animination and graphics in my videos.  Should the need arise, I would like the option of shooting film-like video which I understand is 24p.  Typically, what shooting format should I be looking at in the digital camcorder (ie 1080i/60, 720/60p, 720/30p) to achieve the video look I want to produce.</p> <p>High definition is probably not a necessity at this point although I have been looking primarily at HD camcorders because I like the option of recording in that mode and a lot of them can film in 16:9.  While most of my projects will be on the internet, I would like to option of filming and putting the video on a DVD and have it displayed optimally for widescreen televisions.</p> <p>The other question I have is about software and editing.  Some of my videos will be like a news segment or a comedy news show other videos or pictures will appear on the video along with the video that I filmed.  I also would like from time to time to use animation (think Daily Show or The Colbert Report) where the title of the segment is animated along the bottom of the screen or an opening segment is animated.  Then, of course, is the blue or green screen work where I can display either a still photo or another video in the background.  Any ideas on which software(s) are ideal for these types of projects or any good books or DVDs I can read.   I would use be using a PC for my editing work.</p> <p>Thank you.  Robert</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/halo-effect-when-greenscreening#post-49778 Tue, 04 Aug 2009 11:28:37 +0000 markm 49778@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I am getting a halo around people when filming them on greenscreens.  I am using full spectrum flourescent lighting.  Both the person and screen are lit well.  When i dim lights down I am still getting the halo.  This has been consitent on various cameras including xl1, vixia hf10, sony hdr-hc1 and sony hdr sr11.  Any help appreciated this is making my life miserable.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-a-written-tutorial-on-green-screening-for-class#post-46426 Mon, 04 May 2009 08:37:30 +0000 kr0490 46426@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Does anyone know where I can get a good printable guide / short tutorial project for Premiere that I can give my class to teach them how to do basic green screening.</p> <p>Thanks for any help.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-green-screen-project-tutorial-for-class#post-46466 Tue, 05 May 2009 08:04:46 +0000 kr0490 46466@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Does anyone know where I can get a short premiere chroma keying tutorial / project i can give to my class that will teach them how to do basic chroma keying.  Thanks</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/chroma-key-on-floor#post-43733 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 11:20:28 +0000 Evan 43733@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I will be doing a rather large production for a local church. I want to use a chroma key because some of the scenes involve shrumken people and bugs. We need to use a chromakey that can extend onto the ground so we can include their feet.</p> <p> I read somewhere that you can use lanoleum and pant the back side green.  I thought this might be nice as it wouldn't wrinkle very easy, and you could get an easy sweep from wall to floor.</p> <p> Does anyone have any experiance with this? Is there a better solution for including the floor.</p> <p>Thank you,</p> <p>Evan</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/will-these-lights-work-with-my-greenscreen#post-41410 Wed, 12 Nov 2008 09:33:57 +0000 kr0490 41410@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I am thinking about buying some lights for about $200 to light my greenscreen.  Here are the links for the 2 lights I am going to buy.  Would these be good lights for my greenscreen? </p> <p><a href="http://www.backdropsource.com/Productinfo.asp?id=3102&amp;pname=50cm-x-70cm-economy-softbox-with-85watt-fluorescent-bulb_stand">http://www.backdropsource.com/Productinfo.asp?id=3102&amp;pname=50cm-x-70cm-economy-softbox-with-85watt-fluorescent-bulb_stand</a></p> <p><a href="http://store02.prostores.com/servlet/tubetape/the-119/Cool-Flo--dsh--100/Detail">http://store02.prostores.com/servlet/tubetape/the-119/Cool-Flo--dsh--100/Detail</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/having-problems-with-green-screen-lighting-approach#post-41250 Fri, 07 Nov 2008 08:12:51 +0000 SquashPro 41250@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I bought a big green screen from Image West thinking that I could shoot some sports training videos in my garage.  For these shots I am typically dressed in tennis wear (tennis shorts, polo shirt, tennis shoes).  Unfortunately I am discovering that the lighting issue is really a problem.  I need to get full length body shots to properly demonstrate techniques, which means that I need to be standing on the green screen.  However, the light bouncing off the green screen on the floor puts a green cast on me, particularly on my legs.  This green cast is impossible to chroma key out.  I am wondering if a better lighting scheme will solve this problem, or if standing on the screen introduces this problem to a degree that the problem really can't be easily solved.  I am hesitant to spend several hundred dollars on additional lighting only to discover that this is a problem that really can't be solved.  If this can be simply solved with better lighting, then tell me how many lights I might need to uniformly light the screen and to light me without getting the green spill.  Where should the lights be positioned to achieve uniform lighting?  Is it practical to use 4-foot fluorescent fixtures or are spot-lights required?  Any help would be appreciated.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/what-lights-should-i-buy-for-my-green-screen#post-41442 Thu, 13 Nov 2008 08:21:57 +0000 kr0490 41442@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I need to buy some lights for my greenscreen, and they need to be less than $200.  Here are 3 options I am considering.</p> <p>-the set of 2 umbrella lights here</p> <p><a href="http://store02.prostores.com/servlet/tubetape/the-121/Cool-Flo--dsh--800/Detail">http://store02.prostores.com/servlet/tubetape/the-121/Cool-Flo--dsh--800/Detail</a></p> <p>-The set of 2 softbox lights here</p> <p><a href="http://www.backdropsource.com/Productinfo.asp?id=3053&amp;pname=complete-studio-economy-softbox-kit">http://www.backdropsource.com/Productinfo.asp?id=3053&amp;pname=complete-studio-economy-softbox-kit</a></p> <p> Or one umbrella light and one softbox light from these 2 places</p> <p><a href="http://store02.prostores.com/servlet/tubetape/the-119/Cool-Flo--dsh--100/Detail">http://store02.prostores.com/servlet/tubetape/the-119/Cool-Flo--dsh--100/Detail</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.backdropsource.com/Productinfo.asp?id=3102&amp;pname=50cm-x-70cm-economy-softbox-with-85watt-fluorescent-bulb_stand">http://www.backdropsource.com/Productinfo.asp?id=3102&amp;pname=50cm-x-70cm-economy-softbox-with-85watt-fluorescent-bulb_stand</a></p> <p>What do you think?  If you have another suggestion please tell me.  Thanks for any help!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-green-screen-lighting-for-under-200#post-41146 Mon, 03 Nov 2008 10:00:00 +0000 kr0490 41146@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>What lighting/stands should I buy to use with my greenscreen that is under $200?  Thanks for any help!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/virtual-sets-green-screen#post-34570 Thu, 10 Jan 2008 20:57:15 +0000 Aspyrider 34570@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Looking for some Virtual sets to play with?
