It would be awesome to see actual light placement and such. We see all these kits on Amazon (some of which you also have on B&H), but we don't know how to set up which light where, etc.
agreed
Literally just shot green screen footage yesterday, awesome tips
Appreciate this video, explained all the issues I've been having.
"In a chroma key shot the last thing you want to do is fix it in post." So true.
Great tips! I really loved the color correct green screen part
Awesome tutorial! Thank You So Much! I really appreciate it!!💖💖
Thanks for the feedback
To the point. Thanks for the quick tips!
Quick and brief.
Thanks for the video
You have no links in the description to what we should buy on your site. Major missed opportunity!
hi,
Could you suggest some lights (like the large flourescent box) you use in the video to light up green screen?
tnx bro
wow nice thank you I will try it out!
Thanks for this video. Got it !!
Glad it helped!
thank-you so much!!!!
Can you give me the link of that app
Thanks. Great tutorial. Subscribed!
Welcome to the channel!
thanks 👍
thanks for sharing
Great info
Is it recommended to use log gamma curves for chroma keying work or a 10bit 422 rec709 is enough ?
Much depends upon the subject and the detail you want to capture. 10-bit 4:2:2 rec 709 will work fine. Be careful with your lighting and exposure and the texture of your green screen. >Mark
Thank you so much.....
super helpful
thanks
Rock on Doug.
wat kind of Camera did u use for this???
Awesome
What lights are you using?
Where can you find that app? I can't seem to find anything that will do that!
The App is called Green Screener from Hollywood Camera Work LLC. You should be able to find it on the iOS App Store.
Thanks!

can I use the green screen indoors with natural light from outside ?
You would need to light the green screen. It would be extremely difficult achieving uniform consistent lighting across the screen while attempting to use ambient light from outside. *Christina* AskCZcams@bhphoto.com

Hi sir I can't able purchase lights for green screen , can u give some tips for me plzzz
I didn't get anything, why not showing were to put the neons??
Whenever I think of a chroma key, I think first of the weather reporter on your local news. I've seen their setup done in two ways... One with them about six feet in front of the wall/curtain/backdrop so they can appear to look behind them at the map but also to make sure they don't cast a shadow. Makes lighting the background fairly straightforward. The second, with them right up against the wall explicitly to capture the shadow and give the appearance that they are, in fact, in front of an actual map. Much tougher to light both the background and the subject correctly without everything ending up flat. (Of course, then they will actually touch the wall and that means you also have the problem of their hands leaving dirt and oil on the wall over time.) Distance, I think, is a bit subjective, depending on what you're trying to accomplish. Of course, there are other problems to contend with as well, such as the idiot who gets clever and decides to wear an orange tie (or blouse) on Halloween and ends up with a hole in their chest because it keys out. Seen it many times! ;)
I don't think enhancing the green background makes any difference, if the pixel values are there, a chrome keyer will do its job no matter what imo
You're absolutely right. Color correcting before pulling your key can actually create more issues within your subject. Further more, I have no idea why they would encourage people to color correct a section of their green screen so far away from their subject, where creating a garbage matte is so much more efficient.
how do you get proper lighting on a budget?
There are plenty of options for lighting on a budget, but that's going to depend on the size of the green screen. We invite you to contact us via Live Chat on the B&H website today until 8PM ET so we can go over your options in greater detail.
You should list the lights you use in this....so at the very least you guys would sell more lights...
Is it possible to make us a blurred image or outline ?
If possible, please send you inquiry to us via e-mail to askbh@bhphoto.com so we can better assist you. Thank you.
Hands up if you only opened this video thumbnail to check it wasn't Will from The Inbetweeners.
me and dads green screen lights make a shadow when we are holding the puppets up
I would encourage anyone who has watched this video to explore what a garbage matte is, before wasting time color correcting sections of their green screen, so far away from their subjects. In practice, color correcting your green screen can be detrimental to your overall key, if you don't know exactly what you're doing.
I totally agree with you
What is the app? Green screen....
The app being shown here is called Green Screener, which is available through the App Store for iOS devices.
Does anyone know why wearing BLACK in front amid a green screen looks bad? Any item that’s black actually.
If the subject wearing black doesn't have enough light on them, that could cause an issue with the keying process.
The problem is The color Spill, Shake tour hand And You Will see. Even If You do that way, You Will not be able to get rid the green without some tecnic.
Please tell me green screen cheeker apps name. plz
The app mentioned 1:55 in the video is called *Green Screener,* and is avaialble both in the Apple App store and the Google Play Store for use on iOS and Android devices.

The thing is that
U didn't said or explained exactly.
That how to light a green screen!
so.. buy expensive lights
I'm 1:22 into this video, and it honestly sounds like you're speaking a different language. Oh, don't get me wrong: I can tell that this is English. But al the techno-babble you're spewing is going entirely over my head!
Lmfao although a good starting video notice they were using a $10,000 camera and they had to use Davinci Resolve lol. I can pull a chroma key inside Vegas Pro keyer with my home made dollar store green table cloth glued to a large cardboard piece green screen. Notice he did not mentioned clothes colours which is one of the most important issues with chroma keying!!!!!. Stay away from wearing yellow green mix colours. Even though in Fusion this is easily pulled with Ultrakeyer and a garbage matte. So many applications these days this is not the 90's anymore and it shows that Hollywood no longer controls the access to these tools and good riddance.
