WHAT A GREEN SCREEN DOES FOR YOU

I’m often asked by business owner who produce their own business related videos and VLOGs as to whether it is important for them to have a green screen? Here are seven amazing WOW’s around what a green screen does for you…

1.  BENEFIT

Shooting against a green screen has several benefits. It provides you with a lot of good creative options for use in post-production.

2.  FLEXIBILITY

A green screen provides you with flexibility in dealing with multiple locations and it adds a level of consistency in case one location (an office say) looks a lot better than another.

3.  PORTABILITY

At my workshops, once you’ve learned how to light the green screen (and your subject too of course), you’ll understand why having a green screen is an absolute must. The most huge benefit of a green screen is that you can take it anywhere with you and still get the job done.

4.  SAVE TIME

You can easily set up and take down your green screen in under an hour. The advantage of a green screen is that you avoid having to wander around your location looking for props or other colorful elements to try to spice up the background.

5.  CONSISTENCY

If youʼre shooting green screen, then youʼve blocked out the ambient light,  which means you donʼt have to spend all day adjusting for the change in the sunlight. Aside from flopping the key, youʼre pretty much good to go as far as the lighting is concerned (unless youʼre swapping out backgrounds for different people).

6.  BRANDING

What make a green screen wonderful beyond words is that it provides you with a great opportunity to brand the video so that your company’s identity stands out and is in peoples’ faces. You can add textures, colors and other branding elements to the background in order to make the video really stand out.

7.  EXTENDED USABILITY

Shooting all your interviews against a green screen makes it easier to revisit projects in the future, and update any changes that might have taken place with company branding. In addition, you can shoot extra interviews in the future and easily incorporate them in to existing video content.

…

Now you know exactly what a green screen does for you! With these elements in mind, shooting a day full of interviews against a green screen is a great way to go. Now, all you have to do is prep for it!

TO YOUR EXPERT SUCCESS!
