    Hi,

    I want to film my son flying on green screen. Anyone have good ideas to use for background? I have clouds, any other ideas?

    What kind of look are you going for? I’m sure you will want it to fit the rest of your video. With that being said, there are flyovers- cityscapes, landscapes, safari, water, earth from space, etc. He could also fly through a cave, a wormhole, through space. There are all kind of flying shots you could put him in.

    Now the hard part is finding the scene you want within your budget! Do a search for stock footage.

    Artbeats has all manner of aerial shots you can use…
    Or just do a search in google for free aerial footages…etc

    Also light your son according to the background to help it look more realistic. Also put as much room between your son and the green screen and use back lighting to reduce spill. In my opinion, the lack of spill supression in the Vegas chromakeyer pluggin is one of Vegas’s biggest weaknesses. If your shooting DV, try putting a chroma blur set to medium before the chroma key pluggin in the effect chain. This helps with the jaggy edges you get with DV footage. Here’s a you tube link to some green screen videos I’ve done, none of them uses the keyer in Vegas though. Hope this helps,

    Looks like the you tube link didn’t show up, at least on this computer. Do a you tube search for ernestdaniels to see them if your interested. Danny
