Green screen shoots with Canon 7d
Posted by Juan Carlos aguirre on October 6, 2010 at 1:52 amDoes anyone have good experience using canon 7D for keying shoots, we have some spots to shoot. I love the 7d but never use it on a green screen. I’m worry about the H264 compression and the focus issues, any direction or advice is very welcome

Being able to defocus the background more easily than with “standard” camcorders, will help in the keying process.
As Noah wrote, a well lit screen is essential. -
