Green Screen and EX-1

[Craig Herron]

We overlit the greensceen. Footage we shot later was better. I recently had good luck with footage shot with a canon 5D. The trick was to bring the footage into compressor and make it pro res 422. Looked great after that and keyed very well Im moving to the canon T2i as soon as I can find one

Do you know how to test for this? It’s an important skill. People confuse even lighting for hot lighting. Saturation can be more important than luminance. Using zebras can tell you if the lighting is even as a check for example.
