Thanks for your responses. Attached are a couple sample images of how I might want to shoot the video of the hands. Any ideas or suggestions for how to light this? I understand the basics of lighting it evenly for the green screen, I am just looking for any other general advice. Thanks!

Hi Chris,

1. what do you mean by “Think about motion blur?”

2. Should shooting at 720p even be considered if 1080i is an option? If so, why?

Thanks.

1. If you do not mind me asking, is this a private school, community college, etc.?

2. By becoming quite “proficient” what are they able to develop after 1 term? What about after 2 terms? Example: A 30-second animated sequence? A 1-minute one? etc.

Thanks.

The students will have zero experience coming into the class.

Hi guys,

Thanks for your responses! I apologize in advance for all of the questions.

I was actually going to create an industrial look by getting metal type materials and placing it over a wood table. Similar in design as to what you see here: https://www.chipotle.com/#/flash/restaurants_design Based on what you told me, I guess I need to rethink my approach.

1.) What do you mean by “preferably across the color wheel from green (reds, oranges, magenta, purple.)” Why?

2.) How effective are “dulling spray?” Should this be used on everything that is displayed in front of the green screen?

3.)My arms might extend during some of the shoots, so I was planning to have the green screen extend through the frame and I was going to garbage matte out the parts I do not need in post. Does having the extra green make much a difference to where I should block it out during the shoot?

4.) I know how to garbage matte out parts I do not want, what do you mean by adding in green?

5.) Why do you recommend the very soft, wide back light?

Thank you!!!!!

Thanks for the replies.

How do you handle bringing lighting equipment? I am thinking of bringing a couple of KNO lights.

Thanks again!

Hi Mark,

How can you attach a light to one side around a foot from the camera? What type of device would you use? Do Lite Panels need diffusion? I was under the impression that they were already highly diffused.

Thanks!

Hi Noah,

Would I achieve a noticeable increase in either audio or video quality by using the HVX-200 instead of the DVX for this type of shoot, one with very little control of the lighting and no mixer for the audio? Will both camera produce similar audio? Which one works better in low light conditions? The final video is going to be down converted to h.264 for the web.

Thanks for all of your help!

Hi Walter,

Just curious, why is the verbal ok on camera not enough and a signed document is still necessary?

Thanks!!
