  • Shooting green / blue screen with the Sony FS700

    Posted by Scott Patterson on April 25, 2014 at 3:21 pm

    Using my FS700 for a green screen shoot. Shooting a full body shot of a wispy light brown Golden Retriever, so concerned about pulling a good key. Don’t have a 4k recorder so will be transcoding the AVC files to Pro Res 422. Will be shot in a well-lit studio.

    Any insight on the following would be
    – best Picture profile settings
    – will it make matters worse if I shoot at 60 or 120 frames
    – Better to paint the cyc blue?
    – any other lighting tips. Worried about spill from the floor onto the dog’s wispy underbelly that is close to the floor.

    thx
    scott

    I wouldn´t risk to rely on the AVCHD-Codec for this kind of job, since it´s only 8bit 4:2:0 sampling.
    Better rent a Samurai, then you will get ProRes with 4:2:2 Color-Sampling.

    Hi Eric,

    What about shooting Green/Blue Screen using the Sony FS700 and recording onto the Odyssey 7Q in 2K Raw….? I believe that uses a different codec with much better color sampling.
