proper light set for chroma keying
Hey,
I’m planning a green screen shoot next month, i am looking for a proper light kit to buy.
I am no expert in this, but i guess ill be needing white light?
The actor should be lighted normal(daylight).
price between: 1000-1200 euro’s
any suggestions?
Thx

Tons of info in previous threads on this forum… yes, I’d say over 2000 lbs. of it for sure. Just do a search on “green screen” or ?… and you’ll find what you need.

LIght has color temperature so “white” doesn’t mean to much beyond no gels maybe.

Why? Do you feel you must have 5600K light rather than 3200K light?

That’s on the low end if you’re looking for lights on the screen and on the talent.
At the very least you should watch/read some tutorials because it’s very hard to fix a botched green screen shoot.
I’d suggest something like two Lowel Totas 3200K or maybe Flolights (or Coollights) 2 bank 5600K for the green screen but it may depend on the size of the screen. You might need to double your budget for a full kit.
If getting Totas then look at their Rifa, Omni (or maybe DP) , Pro lights, to light the talent. Size and type may depend on location.
