Aren’t lighting green screens a pain? I love seeing the commercials with poorly lit actors talking in front of a green screen and you can see the green glow surrounding the talent, it looks so creepy! David Dugdale created a great tutorial for green screen which shows how to effectively light a chromakey background and key it out in Premiere. ReflecMedia has created a different solution for chromakeying with their Chroma Background Kit.
The Chroma Background Kit uses a green LED ringlight that illuminates their special background made up of tiny glass beads. Even with the lovely Olivia Tech explaining how it works, I’m still a bit shocked that such a small ringlight can illuminate the background without affecting the subject. This system isn’t cheap but I can see the advantage of not having to carry extra lights just to evenly light a huge background especially out on location.
