Weekend Extra: Green Screen

okay i am a mac owner but still dont have final cut 4, but i have imovie and photoshop, can i still croma key in affects like final cut?

He feathered edges too much. I won`t believe him. He works in AAE like a shitty bully. He looks like a shitty bully.

hahaha at least an HJ

anyone know where to get a free editing program?

Well.  Since I am a girl, I don't have to worry about "ball cancer".  But I do have a higher chance of breast cancer.

are there any progams that you can get for free to use greenscreens?

Yo! I recently took the kids to Chuck E. Cheese for a birthday party. While there, i noticed that they've got a blue screen set up and the kids dance in front of it with all kinds of random b/g's, the screen itself was some kind of matte'd plastic, and it was also lit from behind. My question: what sort of materials would be good for building a screen such as that?

Thanks in advance,

Two probs:
 1) I don't have a green, or even a blue screen- what should I do?
2) I use Windows Movie Maker, how do you use the green screen filter on that? (can you even use it?)

will iMovie HD work for blue/greensrceening for macs?

I love you.

YEA STEVE!

Are there any difficult changes when using a blue screen for a night scene as compared to a day scene?

your so racist lizard freaks are good film makers!!! lol

please help on my premier elements 3.0 it doest have the effects tab

i was at a loss about how to do some of the fx in the first indy movie that im getting ready to start here in memphis ttn until i found you great guys .thanks for all of you great info indy mogul you guys ROCK

hahaha you could always celebrate by giving yourself an HJ? that or just a pat on the back. or both, just make sure you do the pat on the back first... ew!

Yeah... Shadows and Ball Cancer ARE bad... But what about this: Shadows WITH ball cancer? ever think of that?

I think someone used the spill key because the upper left hand corner was gone in that last shot. :-P

Nice work, the only thing I would recommend is that (at least in Final Cut Pro) you can add multiple Blue/Green screen filters if the lighting it a little off. Also the eye dropper tool helps a lot.

what was that program for windows again?

this is really usefull.now i only have 1 problem for a movie,no actors.oh well ill get some

Hey guys, these tips are awesome!! 
A big thanks from ET ENTERTAINMENT!

wow, great video! i plan to add some green screen to my new show!

thanx indy mogul!

he said Gull cancer but Ill use this stuff ive got blue walls already
 

composite lab pro works as well and you can download it as a demo for free.

this is cool, but is there any way to use a blue/green screen without spending hundreds of $$ on some software??

Great site lots of info! Thanks

This video made me laugh so much and it was exactly what I was looking for although I have to agree with the above Adobe Premire/ software needs a in-depth video. As 'Shawn of the Dead' proves in the EXTRAS(hint), it was the green screen that gave them 2 of the coolest and CHEAPEST fx, i.e. winchester shot to the head and see-thru hole in the body. Keep up the great work you guys!

Hey, is there a way to make it seem like there are more people, like say an army, than there really is?

sunny my nose isnt rotting i haven't been dead for a while (yes i have been dead) anyhow it was not the amount its just you sound like a crake head (no offence)

i was eating something and i almost chocked with this video...

lmao this was sweet

trebor117

Uhhh...what makes you think I'm on drugs? Because I post a lot? I'm an Indy Mogul fangirl, spamming is my job.

Have fun rotting your nose away.

Dude killer info, im going to be studing this next year at university and its ready gave me a jump start on every one else.
Amazing program you guys have got going!

Sunnytehbunny wat are u on and were can i buy it? (I'v been snortin coke but it just dosen't cut it.(how do u snort liquid i wonder))

I enjoy the podcast through iTunes.  And now I have to get Final Cut to do fun stuff. I blame you guys.

Uhh...hey guys :| I downloaded Adobe Premiere, and nowhere in the effects tab do I see transparency. Could you provide a screenshot for my blind add?

hey guys i love the vids they've helped me so much, but i need to do some serious editing and all i have at my disposal is windows movie maker.i'm 16 so i don't have acess to a credit card, what do i do??????

Woooo!!! go Steve!!!

Whens your monthly artist collab or whatever? And Erik, why don't you tell us more about yourself?

Can you guys tell me how to do the background in Adobe Premiere.

Yay more Back yard FX!!!!! Erik, thanx for the note!

tryed the brains idea.... didnt quite work though. my fault entierly! dyed my hands red!!

Don't be jealous Erik *hug*! You're still #1! Besides, you got a chainsaw as a prop, he's going to get some wrinkled up hairy balls next to his face. So...uhh D: yea I think you're still better off!

What program are you using there mate?

Whoa whoa, Sunny! You're making a cartoon for Steve now too?
I am way jealous!

Ok you know that lego stuff. how do you get them in the air in your movies without getting your hand, not the third one, in the shots

Awh thanx Erik, I'm actually making one of Steve now, the ball cancer bit inspired me.

 D: Pffff friends = slaves, that's what they're for! Make them do hard labor in front ot a blinding green screen and then reward them with pizza!

My headshot rig

ey I'm erik with a K, username Erikosbad I was watching a video about headshot effects
 and i use my own device which works really well.
 what I do is I have an ordinary air compressor,pvc plastic tubing, and fake blood. 
what you do is hook up the pvc to the air compressor trigger handle hose using a zip-tie or duct tape, whatever.
 Then you make a loop in the hose, use a funnel and add tthe fake blood, making sure it doesnt fall into the air compressor,
 hense the loop. Load up the air compressor wih air, point, and quickly tap the trigger to squirt out the blood.
for best resuts use thin tubes

Hey Cesigs & Sunny, 
Steve is by no means my "slave friend". Steve is super talented and part of the uber funny "On Rye LTD" film group. Backyard FX keeps me pretty busy, so we are getting talented people to do "Indy Mogul Weekend Extra". Thanks for missing me though. It warmed my heart and don't worry...I'm not going anywhere.
PS. Sunny's fanart was AMAZING!

This stuff is awesome.  I haven't done video in forever.

Cesigs- You haven't seen him around? He has most of the posts on the blog :) He's one of Erik's slav- friends, I'm sure :D

And it's OK *hughug* we got to see a creepy pic of him!

What happened to Erik and who is this steve guy???? *sniff* im so confused!

Langalot: Most editing programs have a de-interlace filter you can apply to your video to fix things up. Just gotta dig around the filters section. Interlacing is for stuff you'd show on tv to appear to move smoother than 30 fps, I believe. Vertical interlacing sounds crazy - did you flip around your footage or something?

what i didn't really get the adobe premier stuff. can you give us a video with better detail on it

By the way, Erik, you look like you're going to rape him.

Thought I'd add that. ♥

Thanx Steve, thanx a lot. I almost choked when you said ball cancer. Tip; don't eat while watching these vids

Hey guys, I am making a film noir style film, and the script calls for a small scale set. It would be awesome if you did an episode about it, because anyone could make use of one. Thanks.
-Caleb

Super cool.  You guys are great.  Here's a technical question:  How do I deal with interlacing problems and/or what in the world causes them in the first place?  Also, is it possible to have vertical interlacing problems?  I always thought fields were horizontal.  How many gallons of red water is there in the Red Sea?

This is great. More please! I like learning about stuff.

Haha..
Thanks BFX.. Now i know how to use a Green/Blue screen I can start with my star wars movie.. just 1 problem... Don't have any actors:P... I think i'll find some.. Thanks Steve.. You explained it very clear.. 
Keep up the good work All..

Peter

WOW!!! This is so funny. I saw Steve working on this when I visited the office...but WOW...amazing!

BALL CANCER!!!  NICE!  This is hilarious... especially since I *JUST* asked Erik if he has a green screen!  That was awesome!  I hope this dude gets laid! ;)
