Tips for Lighting for a Chroma Shot

  • Keep your character at least 6 feets away from the screen do that you can avoid the spills happening in the edges.
  • Always try and use a kicker so that its easy to extract the character
  • Make sure the bg is lit evenly, try and use a vetroscope so that you can make out what is the chroma and luma levels normal lightmeters won't give this values
  • Don't use the sharpen mode which is available in most HD Cams it will compress the fottage and give bit mats in the edges
