2012-09-04
hello youtube and welcome today I'm going to do a tutorial on how to make a cheap green screen that actually works due to - so you do it so many times and as you can see this works really well why does it work really well well I'm gonna tell you right now hey it works really well because the green in the background is very consistent B it works really well because the lighting on the background is really good and C it works really well because there is no shadows being cast on this green screen so I'm standing a good meter and 20 away from the screen and also my face my front of my body is all did pretty well so let's show you guys now what we paid to get this green screen working okay sir there is two BOTS they were five dollars each guys five dollars each okay now they had two bottles of paint and one bottle each so that was five dollars each for the bottles of paint and five dollars each for the boards so that's a total cost of $20 now the lights they were 13 dollars for the set this part here as I said before lights my face in the front of my body as I'm standing directly underneath it here in the center this part here lights the green-screen guys so that makes overall for a nice perfect setup on the on the cheap so overall everything cost me $33 guys and I'm living in Japan so it'd probably be more expensive here if you live in the state's at probably even cheaper so yeah I'm standing here where my foot is and as you can see I'm a good meter 20 from the green screen to cast no shadows on it now there is a video I will link in my description which has really good hints for green screening it is the video that I used before I made this green screen now why Kaaba wood is not a good choice for a green screen okay so lastly I'm going to show you why basically if we look here guys there is no color is very consistent in my boards so if you're using cardboard guys you I mean if you're very if you've got very delicate hands cobble it may be a good option I'm not I'm not I'm not saying you can't do it I'm just not recommending it and this is why because cardboard will crease which will cause artifacting in your king when you're keying out the green also cardboard if you join it with clear tape it will camel can reflect light back into the camera which will artifact as well now lastly with the carboy well you may be thinking well Ryan I'm using a duct tape which is green and if you're using duct tape that is green it may be a different green to your key green on your cobble and this will basically if you're gonna keep that green you're gonna be keying out too much and that'll get to the point where your hands will start keying out and stuff on your face will start keying out and it'll just look pretty bad in general so overall guys I built this cheap green screen I highly recommend it everything was $33 lighting is crucial guys remember that lighting and actual consistency of green is crucial and obviously I have a pretty good camera so this camera I got it's my Sony camera I use it for photography and yeah it basically the large lens the large aperture allows me to blend out the background so guys I hope this helped you and obviously please subscribe to help Brian easier I appreciate it a lot and also if you got any comments guys leave them in the comment section below and I'll reply as soon as I can also guys have you got a request for a video I do answer requests for videos and I do post our videos regularly so I hope this helped you guys peace out
