7 Tips for Green Screen Optimization
The Green Screen itself!
Background should not reflect light! Reflections change the shades of green. Ideally it should be a flat color and evenly lit.
Diffusing lighting is ideal! Be careful for reflections of light
Location of green screen and camera
Average 2’ off of the ground for green
Stand up would be all the way to the ground
Ideally green screen will be 4’ behind you to remove shadows and issues
Camera location - Sitting at least 3-4’ away from the camera to avoid lighting issues
Lighting should be even.
Perhaps the most critical aspect of a good green screen layout
Watch out for lighting that is only down facing. Try adding light directed toward your subject and green screens
LEDs today can provide wonderful light spectrums and colors
Diffused lighting is best. Be careful for lighting that
Camera Tuning
Start with a perfect white balance
Hue is perhaps the most powerful tool for removing stray pixels in your virtual background
Use focus to make your talent in focus and allow the green screen to be out of focus
Adjust your software settings
Once you have done your best to set up all the physical aspects of your green screen use software settings as a final tuning process
When all else fails try darker background image or video to hide stray pixels
Optimize your image
Crop out edges you don’t need
But leave plenty of room for your arms to stretch out… You don’t want your arms getting cut off during your presentation!
