  • Rotating stand or stool for objects and actors

    I have a green screen and I am looking for a rotating stand that my subject(s) can stand on.

    How do you shoot small items like shoes, telephones, pencils, keys, CDs, Etc on green screen w/o having to hold them by hand. Is it some type of wire I need or a revolving green/blue stool or stand I can buy?

    If you look on the web for “Quicktime VR” turntables you may find something.

    Thats a darn good question. I’ve always had to avoid shooting feet when greenscreening cause of lighting/shadow problems

    I just did a greenscreen shoot a few weeks ago where my character was standing on a turntable platform that was painted green. Got a full body shot without too much hassles. You can always try to eliminate shadows with some extra lights.

    I think that you could even hire motorized platforms for perfectly uniform rotation. Contact any local prop place that works with tv/film industry and you’ll be able to hire a simple turntable at a very cheap rate.
