  Natural Environment Background Plates for Interviews

  Posted by Mike Frascogna on May 1, 2012 at 10:41 am

  I’m shooting a large quantity of talking head interviews that will be will be used in a variety of different projects. For efficiency purposes, all interviews will be shot in the same location and against green screen. Later, as I decide which interview clip to use in which project, I will drop in an appropriate background plate.

  MY QUESTION: Where can I find/purchase a large quantity of natural environment background plates? I’m not interested in swirling graphics (of which I can find many), rather I want a good shot of a living room, office, etc. Can anyone recommend a source? As an alternative, has anyone had success using still photos of such environments as background plates? I want the final product to look as real as possible… as if the interview was originally collected in that environment.

  Thanks for your input!
