How To Go Green What are the basics of green screen photography?

Question by Reiko Peaches: What are the basics of green screen photography?
I just bought a green “chroma-sreen” for photography. Does anyone have helpful-hints for the novice green-screener? I have 16 years in photography, film & digital. I also have studio lighting and various other equipment. Get as technical as you want – I’m all ears.

For the video you can use the green screen but to shoot still photography you will run into problems. You will notice this when shooting people and you will not get the “neon green” cast out of your photos (skin, etc) unless you want to do a lot of work.

My suggestion is to use a pure white backdrop for this type of work you might want to do.

A friend of mine who worked for an advertising agency for over 7 years asked me why I wanted to use a “green screen” (to play and experiment). She said use white and then showed me.

Hope this helps,
Kevin
