Green Screen Studios LA?
Green Screen
Greenscreen is a photo imagery process that allows you to take a picture or video on a green background and then edit in an appropriate background from another source. You will need the proper size green screenfor the image you are trying to create and the appropriate background(s) for what you are trying to achieve.
You then need to determine the physical dimensions of your original image and make sure that the background you are trying to integrate is similar in scope. If you have ever been to Kellogg’s Cereal City in Battle Creek, Michigan you would have been able to buy a picture of yourself on a Kellogg’s Corn Flake Box. Since it closed in 2007, that sadly is no longer available to the public. They took your picture and then about a half hour later on your way out of the exhibit you could pick up your picture attached to a full box of Kellogg’s Corn Flakes. That was the most expensive cereal I have ever purchased.
All use the same premise, for a premium price you can have your picture taken in front of a green screen and then the background of the appropriate magazine cover is digitally interposed to create a personalized magazine cover tailored to your event via green screen magic.
There is a software program called Green Screen Wizard, that will help you get started using Green Screen techniques to add special effects to your photos and video. For less than $200 you get the phot and video editing software along with a small 5′ x 7′ green screen to set up your own in home Green Screen Studio LA.
One of my favorite types of green screen rentals is the soft green screen cyc. Atomic Studios is equipped with a 2 wall soft green screen cyc, a very rare, custom cut, and sewn piece of green foam that absorbs sound and reduces green spill due to the minimal reflection of foam. Because of the reduced green spill, subjects can get closer to the actual walls allowing far more room to walk run or dance around. This soft green screen cyc at Atomic Studios is big enough to shoot 5-8 full grown adults while moving from head to toe. In fact, depending on the f-stop we usually light the Atomic Studios soft green screen cyc with just one 3-6k space light, drastically reducing studio heat and load on power supply. The one most important advantage of a soft green screen cyc is how good they sound. It’s almost like shooting in a isolation booth. The talent is surrounded in part by what acts like acoustical foam. If you ever tried shooting good sound on a hard green screen cyc you will no doubt agree that managing the eco effect is tricky to say the least.
Even the most experienced green screen technicians run in to problems here and there and the last thing any green screen production needs is a grumpy stage manager (in a hurry to get home and play X-Box) on your back rushing things. Saying that you can fix green screen problems in post can a very time consuming and costly statement. Atomic Studios green screen rentals are always for 24hr time periods.
