    I’m wanting to use holograms in my short films and I’m curious which color backdrop is best? Green, blue? Something else? Thank you

    Awesome! Thank you for all the information! I’m quite new special effects so the extra info is appreciated!

    If its the Princess Leia type hologram you are trying to do, you can just shoot that element on black and then use a Screen or Add blend mode onto your background footage. Holograms are just light so they can just be superimposed over the background element without need for keying or green screen.
