Greenscreen Shoot

Just finished doing a greenscreen shoot tonight for a short, the piece filmed will be used as a ghost figure in a forest. We should be shooting the rest of the short either tomorrow or the next day, pretty much been waiting all week for some decent weather. The studio we used was actually a photography one, so most of the already set up lights weren't of much use as they just flash for stills, so ultimately we ended up using the other ones that were booked out - a couple of Redhead's and some Lowell's. Michael got to play the slightly pirate-esque ghostly figure, with makeup that consisted of a piece of charcoal from last night's fire. Did a quick test in the editing program and it should come out fine, hopefully the weather will be good enough to film the rest of it.

You have an awesome Greenscreen thing man. Ours is just a crappy curtain in the corner of the studio that's hard as hell to light well. Good luck with that.

Thanks, the SIT has had a lot of troubles with greenscreens though. Originally they made this huge room in the basement a greenscreen studio, with studio lights and a curved floor, but SIT 2 LRN productions stole that from us. They've also painted a lot of walls green, but they usually get taken as offices so they're equally as useless. The one we ended up using isn't even for us, its the photography students one :P
