  • Need Advice Choosing Affordable HD Camera for Green Screen Shoots

    Posted by Evan Seitz on August 31, 2010 at 10:25 pm

    Hey guys – I’m looking to buy a new camera for green screen footage. I’ve looked at the Canon 7D – which is very impressive, but I’ve also heard that it might not be the best at delivering footage for a good key. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Any camera these days will get you a good key… if you light the set properly and expose it properly.

    Your question, if I can re-write it for you, should be:

    “Which codec should I shoot and post in to get the best greenscreen chromakey, and which affordable HD camcorders use that codec?”

    That sounds good – care to answer your/my question? 🙂

    Also – if I wanted to go with a Canon – which one would do the job the best for the lowest price??
