Look especially for shadows being cast that may fudge up your key later on. Green screens are great for creating the illusion that your characters are in a different place, like a bistro in Paris rather than your apartment's balcony.Use a blue screen when there is natural green elements (like trees, grass, and plants) in your shot. Green screens are also useful if you want to put VFX in your shot later on in post.(Just remember to roll down the windows!) Use green screens for driving scenes so your actors can perform safely.
GREEN SCREEN LIGHTS PORTABLE

While you can certainly light a green screen with one unit and get great results, it will always look better with two light solutions being used. You’ll find this same issue present with a ring light. The adjustment in OBS to account for using one light took about 5 minutes and we were on our way.Īs we mentioned for the Broadcast Lighting Kit, one light is typically not enough to effectively light a green screen. This leads to an easier and more even chroma key overall. Lighting a green screen with one light is totally doable, but it is advised to use two for a clean and even lighting across the green screen surface.

We did find that with one single panel, there was some adjustment needed within Open Broadcast Software (OBS) to account for the chroma key and making sure ourselves as the subject was lit correctly. It also provided a nice even coverage of light across our Webaround, making it very easy to chroma key. The ball head allowed us to angle the light perfectly to reduce our shadows. The light’s small form factor is great when you combine it with any camera and doesn’t intrude on the space.

While the tripod was a great feature, we found that the suction cup base provided a more sturdy experience. The adjustable stand combined with the suction cup base gave us just what we needed for adjustment. This is nice if you’d like to use a C-Clamp base or arm for your mounting solution. The side and bottom of the light features a 1/4″ hole, which is used to mount to clamps or tripods.

You can adjust the color temperature from 3200K to 5600K, which gives a warm or cool look. While small in size, this light panel packs a serious punch in terms of lighting output.
