Chroma key Фото is not a rocket science but most photographers, who have never tried their hands on it, think that Ты need a lot of training или perhaps a special course. If Ты can undertake training, it will be easier for Ты to do the background replacement but Ты can achieve fairly good results even if Ты do it yourself. I learnt it by referring to the tutorials available on YouTube and various other Фото sites.
The bunch of people whom I was talking was delighted to hear that there are no secret formulas for green screen photography. All Ты need to do is to get a good quality green screen backdrop, backdrop stand, and specialized green screen software. If Ты are a photographer, Ты might be already having the lighting accessories. Here are some key points that Ты need to keep in mind for Chroma key photography.
1. Light the foreground as well as the background separately. Ты can do this by backlighting your subject. This will help Ты to easily subtract the green background and add your desired one.
2. Ensure that the backdrop falls seamless from the photography backdrop stand so that there are no wrinkles. Ты can even use clamps to make your background smooth. Creases can make background separation difficult.
3. If Ты are using a green screen, make sure there is nothing green in the background. This rule also applies to blue screen. If Ты have the background color in the foreground, it will also be replaced during Chroma keying. For example, if your model is wearing a blue tie that matches with the background, while editing, the tie will also be subtracted.
4. Use all the usual Фото rules such as diffusing the light, three-point lighting system, etc.
5. Keep experimenting to come up with your own rules.
Chroma keying is so easy that anyone with basic Фото skills will be able to do it. If Ты are one of those people who are anxious about Chroma keying, stop worrying and start practicing.
