Regarding the green screen work: I have never incorporated green screen into a film before, but have run some tests in the past. Shooting on a DV camcorder, I find the major problem to be keying out the background color without getting a grainy image around the subject. What is the best way to alleviate this problem? Also, in lighting the green screen: we are very low budget and don’t have access to studio lighting, leaving us with soft yellow bulbs. As these tend to create shadows, I came to the conclusion that switching to brighter, whiter bulbs would remedy the problem and create a consistent shade of green to key out. I haven’t tried this out, but plan on running some tests in the near future. Suggestions?
Thanks,
