Q&A: Green Screen/Chroma Key?
Question by Upon this rock: Green Screen/Chroma Key?
How do you make movies w/ green screen/chroma-key…i mean does the CAMERA matter, or the PC software. Can i just go out and buy a green screen & software for greenscreen, & keep my hard drive camera or what??? I’m guessing the camera has nothing to do with it. PLEASE HELP…

The way green screen chroma key work has nothing ot do with the camera. Once you have shot the footage and input it into your computer you will use the chroma key function in the software to replace the all the green with another shot. KNowing this make sure anything you want to be in the shot (wardrobe, props, etc. not be green or you will have wierd shapes of the background coming through on your shot.
so, it is not a necessary function in your camera all though some camera do have this function, but I wouldn’t use it.
Also, when you are shooting on green screen becareful of your lighting, becasue if you bounce some of the green screen back on your actors or props that will get washed out when you use the chroma key effect also.
Hope that helps, good luck.
