Green-Screen Challenges and Update.

I'm not sure if i've mentioned this earlier but my lovely step-dad (Brian) is teaching himself to work with a green screen as he has all the relevant equipment available to him at his work, so my film will all be filmed there. He has been running through some tests, unfortunately the content has failed to be sent over email but as soon as I have access to these initial trials I shall post them.  Brian has only tried out the green screen with still images, no moving imagery has been trialled yet.
Problems encountered:

  • Images have morphed slightly, proportions aren't staying exactly the same
  • Some residual green spill in the image
  • Blue screens are far more effective if the model in front of the camera has blonde hair
  • No access to blue screens! However a colleague has offered to lend a blue backdrop 
  • If filming using a blue backdrop, it would have to be shot out of Brian's work place which would require borrowing lights and camera equipment. Realistic?
