What a week it has been, and it's not over! Apart from helping Si Ying with her green screen project on March 24th, we had our own production on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. We were supposed to have one on Friday too, but fortunately it was cancelled to make way for the Saturday & Sunday shoots.
We shot our very first official green screen production on Thursday, shooting Nicholas' story about a young lady who gets pulled into a game. We had the pleasure of having Arina as our actress this time and she was great. Working with her was easy and she pulled off every shot well.
So what's the catch? LIGHTING! We didn't have ANY experience with lighting, let alone lighting up a green screen! It was a mess. A bloody, bloody, mess. Figuratively. Spills everywhere, prominent shadows and under-exposure made post-production a living nightmare. Well, not really, but it could've been better.
The moral of the story is, make sure you have ample lighting for a green screen. At least 1 to light up the screen, 2 for the person/object to film and another to add depth to the person/object. I forgot what's the proper term for it, but it's the light you cast behind the person/object.
I'll continue with Saturday and Sunday's shooting stories tomorrow. I'm too tired and the person I'm talking to on MSN isn't online anymore. lol
