A Brief Guide: Videos and Green Screen Studios

By Phillip Guye

Whether or not you are an amateur or a professional, when it comes to making use of green screen studio, you are all practically on the same boat. Being in the same environment makes you susceptible to following the same set of guidelines and regardless whether or not you are funded by a multi-billion project, or you straightforward want to shoot a happy birthday video for your wife, you have to follow the same set of rules in using green screen terraces.

First off how do green screen studios work? The whole concept of green screens and blue screens were highly well-liked way back in the 70's when you'll see the tacky but iconic weatherman delivering the report and pointing at a large animated map beside him which would at times switch to photos and photographs and until later on returning to the map.

What they do is that they make the weatherman stand in front of a green background and then deliver his report there. After that, the editors get the video to take out the green background or the blue background and then substitute it with an image of the map and the other footage that they'll be putting in there.

During that time, a lot of costs are saved due to the green screen. Imagine not being made to prepare countless props and travelling to locations to deliver a scene. In modern times, the green screen has shown its purpose not only in weather reporting but in creating upscale pictures with special effects. An ideal example will be that of Star Wars. From there it has escalated to a different kind of art form. The modernity of software available today has made great things possible thru the use of green screen terraces.

plenty of software nowadays supports recording and modifying videos in chroma background. Because of this, practically anybody with a massive basement or a garage and one who knows how to properly light up a background can make special effects that would have made 70's Sci Fi directors drool. If you can make green screen studio in your own home, then the next responsibility will get left to learning the way to edit it. This is where things become a little more complicated. It'll also be a test of your priorities. Are you prepared to spend a great deal of time, effort and not to mention the learning curve of making your own videos?
