This just aint gonna work. What do?

AngryBrute · February 05, 2015, 01:22:04 PM

Well, I am trying to get my Green Screen stuff working. And its just not. I lack the proper lighting equipment, so the screen is giving off different key colors. I have to key in different colors for the system to erase, when it should just be one uniform color.

Another thing is distance. I need to move this thing around to get rid of some green outlines on me when I keyed out the green. The screen is not perfectly flat, but I do have a proper stand coming in.

What should I do? Should I just go ahead and make the Review and do the green screen stuff next time (that means there would just be a green background), or just wait until I get the lighting and the other fixes?

Here is what it looks like unkeyed:

Here is when I start to key out the green:

Using a second color to key:

open each picture one after another and it looks like the zombies taking over you.

Try and make the screen flat.

Well for starters try actually putting the green screen up properly.

Aye. You need another light source to minimize the shadows you cast. It also looks like you're standing way too close to the screen.

EDIT: Yeah, try moving yourself and the camera forward, away from it a bit and see what that does to the shadows.

Pretty much what Cheat and Isara said. Try another light source.

Coco · February 05, 2015, 01:48:10 PM

You have to get the lighting exactly right, and the screen can't have wrinkles. I'm pretty sure you should also be trying your best not to have shadows visible. Even then, it still won't be perfect.

Depends how long it'll take you to fix it. The longer you wait, the less relevant the review will be.

Just photoshop in some zombies. You're welcome

Rinev · February 05, 2015, 02:19:17 PM

Is this just for the thumbnail? Or the video itself? If it was just for the thumbnail then I tried to see how I'd do editing it. It's not a a whole lot better but at least you don't have green all over the place.

ffs you need to stretch the shit out so it doesn't have wrinkles. Also you should probably have three light sources. One directly facing you, and two to the left and right, respectively, angled to illuminate the screen just behind you.

AngryBrute · February 05, 2015, 02:30:49 PM

Yeah thats the thumbnail.

I moved it into another room and made it perfectly flat. It works better, but I still need the lighting to get rid of this faint green outline on me.

I think the last one looks awesome.

R o c k e t · February 05, 2015, 02:56:57 PM

I like what you are trying to do! looks awesome Brute.
As for what to do regarding the video: If you are just going to have a green background I suggest waiting for the proper lighting equipment to come in.

If it affects the quality of the Review, which is your main thing, I'd try to fix that instead of putting it out and fixing it later.
If I can wrap my video up, you can upload that in its place, to fill the gap of content.

Ok I moved the screen into another room. Its on a flat wall, all I need to fix is lighting, distance from the screen, and my camera.
