  • The Basics of Green Screen is Everything You need to Know. It's long, but I've included Chapter Markers below.

I also demo how I shoot a green screen from start to finish, edit and render it in under 3 minutes!

  • @MFJLabs
    @MFJLabs 4 роки тому +22

    Learned more in 20 mins with you than HOURS of other videos on a variety of Premiere Pro subjects (ultra keying included). Hands down, STILL the best green screen video so far -- even 4+ years later. (head shaking). Hard to believe that soooo many green screen videos fail to properly emphasize the importance of LIGHTING THE GREEN SCREEN AS A SEPARATE ELEMENT OF THE SET. Thanks for that and for everything else.
    You ROCK!

    Just starting out playing around with green screening in OBS and this has to be the most natural looking keying I have ever seen. Usually I can pick up keying and 99% of the time it looks awful. Your studio background looks so natural it absolutely fooled me. Well done.

    • @BasicFilmmaker

    Hello Sir, I'm watching this video nearly 4 years after your posting. Though it is a little long by most standards I didn't find it to be too long at all due to all of the FANTASTIC, RELIABLE, REQUIRED AND USE FULL information here in. Most of the video's I've seen so far on the topic give you tips on what to do but are a little weak in the WHY to do it. As a semi pro photographer I understand very well lighting, aperture and shutter speed. Your video here is by far includes the WHY and for that I thank you very much. Great Video....

    Kevin: I never post comments (well, I guess I have to say 'almost never . . . .'). Seriously, THANKS for an outstanding video. This one checks all my boxes: fun, helpful, clear, by a professional, no-nonsense, practical for me, etc.
    Your narration is pitch perfect too. I love the phrasing, the voice clarity, the dynamic range, it just slides into my ears so nicely.
    Then, most importantly, you have the cajones to take the time that's NEEDED to tell me what I needed to know. That "something worth learning is worth the time to learn," is a concept that just resonates with me. UA-cam is full to overflowing with well-meaning people who don't take the time (theirs and mine) the time required for reasonable coverage and accuracy. You do! Thanks!!
    I have fallen in love with what I can do for my learners with KdenLive (whose price I can afford) that I could never do with even the latest-greatest and, yes, expensive current version of PowerPoint. I can zoom and draw, and SHOW them and now, thanks to your videos, I can communicate with them so much better and more effectively. Thanks so very much.

    I understood 90% of this! That's an amazing bit of understanding for someone who has never used a green screen, watched a video about using a green screen, or shot a video for UA-cam. The only things I weren't 100% on is stuff I just need to watch Kevin's other videos on, specifically the post-edit stuff. Great video! Just the type of stuff a greenhorn like me needs.

    *crickets*
    I've got to admit.. I didn't even figure out the background wasn't really there until well into the video, AND I thought the green screen was actually added in post until you turned off some light!! If that ain't proof you know how to do this a LOT better than I do, I don't know what is...
    Thanks so much!

    amazing video. thorough, obvious knowledge, and answered the questions the moment they brewed in my mind....and its great to see a full length video, not an A.D.D. video...which usually are too quick, to understand a damn thing, no explanations, no work through problems, and always assumes the viewer knows way too much, or me as the viewer assume you know way to little by the lack of information from your video. Your video was great!!!!! thank you thank you thank you!! why didnt i see this one first, could have literally saved me watching 20 videos!! good job.. thank you so much for sharing. i feel way more confident as to what my problem is, as i am very new to green screen. thank you

    5:45 YES! I feel like this on most shoots! I"ve been using the green screener app but the soft boxes won't cut it and
    halogen lights can get too hot and are hard to control at times.
    Hopefully using this bank lights will help. I've used kino flows before though not being in school anymore, I don't have access to them.

    Also, I have finally recorded something on Greenscreen now after months of preparation (I'm perfectionistic and always something got wrong etc.) and following your advice and watching this often, and now it just looks really great.
