WHAT IS A GREEN SCREEN ANYWAY?

A green screen studio is a large, empty space that’s set against a background that’s painted a specific shade of green. They’re used as the backdrop for chroma key photography or filmography whereby another background is digitally superimposed onto the image or film using a post-production technique called chroma key compositing or chroma keying. Traditionally, before film became digital, green screens were typically blue. This allowed the foreground image to be processed so that it appeared to be on an opaque background which was then overlaid onto a separate background to create the final effect. While the background of a green screen studio can be a flat wall, a curved, cyclorama background is preferred as it allows for greater camera angels, better lighting and a more flawless finished piece.

Green screen studios are typically used for newscasting or creating scenes for movies, television shows, video games and/or music videos that would otherwise be impossible or impractical to create in real life. Therefore, while the finished shot may show an astronaut floating in space, they were most likely suspended using wires from a pipe grid that lays over the top of a green screen in a studio space. However, these days, green-coloured backgrounds are typically preferred as digital cameras are more sensitive to green light. Green also contrasts more dramatically with the subjects as the particular shade that’s used doesn’t match any natural skin tone or hair colour so the actor won’t accidently be edited our when using chroma key.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A LOS ANGLES GREEN SCREEN STUDIO RENTAL

When it comes to creating a perfectly edited final shot, there’s a big difference between using a simple sheet of green and a professionally designed Los Angeles green screen studio. Therefore, it’s essential to invest a bit of time in finding the best sound stage Los Angeles can offer you and your crew. When it comes to the green backdrop that can make or break the quality of your project, it’s essential that a proper chroma green paint is used. This not only ensures that you’ll be able to crisply separate your subjects from the green background during post-production, but also acts to bounce the light around in a way that reduces the development of colored ‘hot spots’ that can pollute skin tones and project a slightly green tinge onto your subject. When cheap, generic green paint is used in place of quality, dried chromakey green screen paint, even the slightest bit of shine can pollute fair skin tones and make oily or darker skin tones show up with an uneven edge. Once you’ve confirmed that the correct green chroma paint is used in your Los Angeles green screen studio, it’s also useful to visually inspect the walls. A properly constructed green screen studio should use cyclorama walls that are curved to meet at the corners and bounce the light around appropriately. Using the studio lights, inspect the surface of the walls to make sure that there aren’t any defects that cause shadows to disrupt the even color. It may also be useful to ask your Los Angeles green screen studio representative about how often the walls are repainted. Damage can easily occur from things such as moving large props, shoe scuff marks and stunt work. However, regular repainting will ensure that your green screen rental is still in good condition when it’s time for you to use it. Lastly, when looking for the best green screen studio Los Angeles has to offer, also look at the surrounding support and production area. In order to be able to easily shoot from multiple angles and distances, you’ll want to have plenty of room to move your cameras outside of the green screen space. This will give you more flexibility while making it easier to create the specific lighting that you’d like. Other facilities such as a private production room, a wardrobe and hair and makeup area and onsite bathroom facilities will also be very valuable when it comes time to shoot..
