Studio shoot, Green-screen or White BG?
Hi there!
Really hope I’m posting in the right forum.
We are about to have a studio shoot very soon, a few shots that will be later treated in post (After Effects)
Eventually it will be a figure posing over a white background (white limbo).
(Long shot, 2 Medium shots and a Close-Up)My question is:
Should we shoot on a very good Green-screen or shoot on a white bg in advance?
I am leaning toward shooting on Green, so we will have flexibility with which white BG, and small element that we would like to incorporate later on (such as graphic elements behind the character etc…)
Obviously if going Green it’ll need to be a Good Green…I am sure this question was asked a lot, If I am repeating an older thread please direct me for tips.
Thank you very much for any input!

It is better to shoot with Green BG as you can then change the Color and its brightness , Contrast, etc to match your foreground. Also you can insert Graphic Elements that will be a plus and in some cases even you don’t have to mask out(if required) your subject because it will be on different layer already.
Just keep in mind the points required to get a good green chroma shoot.

Green chroma for sure – just follow Dave’s advice and shoot tests before to make sure you get the right results. Not seeing any storyboards I don’t know if you require a full body shot- but if you do, make sure you know all that a setup like that involves.
