  • Shooting a beauty white spot – Is green screen an option ?

    Posted by Ace Billet on October 27, 2006 at 2:59 pm

    I’m about to shoot a spot that had a “bathroom theme” i.e. – white ceramics, big old bathtub, towles etc.
    I’ll also adding some graphics and 3D elements in AE.

    Will it be probematic to shoot the spot on green screen (we’re using DV) ?
    I fear most of green spills on the white surfaces and unwanted reflections.

    what do you suggest ?

    cheers

    If you’re shooting white porcelain it is going to reflect green from everything and will be a mess. there is just too much gloss.

    I was given a greenscreen shot of a white toaster oven to try and key out. we had to re-shoot.

    If you’re shooting the white bathroom stuff in an infinity cove (white rooms, curved walls) then you’re proably going to be able to use animated masks with a feather on them. It’s a lot less work than full rotoscoping.
