Green Screen Muslin
Could someone answer my questions about green screen?
I want to make some videos with green screen. Please answer all of the questions below.
#1 Could I use a bed sheet as a green screen?
#2 Is a plastic green screen just as good as a muslin green screen. Please explain why.
#3 What are any other cheap ways I could make a green screen for under 30 dollars.
#4 How would I get the video from my video camera to my computer? My video camera doesn’t have an SD card slot or USB port. It was purchased in 2003.
#5 Would overhead lighting and natural light be enough light?
Please answer all of them and it is very appreciated!
More details on question #4
I could use our digital camera but it isn’t super good quality.
#1 Possibly, although you’ll likely get shadows where the creases are if its not held smooth. A large flat wall (or maybe painted cardboard) might be easier to work with.
The colour green is commonly used because you can usually remove it without removing anything else in the scene (it is absent from skin colour). You wouldn’t want the foreground object to have any of the background colour in it, for instance.
#2 Not sure
#3 The wall is really the best.
#4 Use a video capture card to digitize it. These are relatively inexpensive. You could probably check ebay or a site like kijiji for a used one as they’ve been around for a while now
#5 Typically you want to light the green screen with a different light source than what’s in front so that you don’t get any shadows or interaction (which will turn into strobey fuzz when you key out the background)
