  • Green Screen, Figure leaning on screen (wall)

    Hi There.
    Not sure which forum to use for this question but I am trying here…
    I am about to shoot a video of a figure leaning on a wall and change the wall…
    Since leaning on the green-screen will cause shadows that will pretty much conflict with the green screen method, I thought to ask in a forum for a suggestion.

    I might make the actor lean on something small, and act as if he is leaning on a wall. Or I will hope to kill all the shadows…

    The lean will be from this angle pretty much

    Anyone was dealing with such issues?

    Thanks!

    I am new to AE, but maybe, Rotoscope?

    If the actor is leaning to the side on the wall, just make sure you build that wall in front of the screen at a good distance so that it will not cast shadows on it. Make the wall green as well and make sure you get few clean plate shots to make keying a lot easier. I presume that the wall will show at some angle and that’s why you are worried- cause if it’s just a straight on shot, then there’s no problem.
