Greenscreen vs. Bluescreen | When and why?

This will be my first say about greenscreen and bluescreens techniques. There will be more in which we will talk about tracking, keying itself and compositing. Theory and basics are always important. Hope you enjoy it!

i kind of expected him to reveal the background was blue screened the whole time haha

No bs. Straight to the point! Everyone liked that

I don’t know why YouTube recommend this to me but I’m kinda glad they did

This video answered a lifelong curiosity of mine in just 4-Minutes.

So if green aliens would make movie's would they use a orange/red screen?

My question is, when marvel filmed gamora and nebula in same shot, which color did they used in the background

[michaelatorn]

Bluescreen: detail or dark shots
Greenscreen: simple or light shots

I wish I saw this a few months ago. I shot a scene where the actors were supposed to be in a dark cave. I shot them against a green screen, resulting in the same problems you demonstrated in this video. Now I know, when placing actors in dark environments, I should use blue screen instead. Very useful information. Thank you.

"That is all you need to know, and all I'm going to tell you today" Simple, to the point video, well made, value adding video. Thank you!

Blue is also really good for day-shots. At work we use Blue- / greenscreen for hair-colour choice:
- Blue for 'Blond hair'. Reason like as what he said, blue = less spill. Blond hair is really reflective, so it gets a lot of spill on smaller detailed hair.
- Green is good for 'Darker hair'

This slowww talking and clear spelling is so relaxing, it makes you want to keep listening

Blue when you film Gamora.
Green when you film Nebula.

Liked the video in the first 35 seconds. No deafening intro. straight to the point and a professional and calm explanation. keep up the good work!

I always wondered why there was a white outline on images. Now I need to find a BLUE screen!!

This is what I would call a perfect video tutorial. All of the relevant information you need is presented clearly without any filler. It tells you what you need to know and doesn't waste your time. Great video man!

Thank you Andrey, for this information. The main reason why greenscreen is preferred over bluescreen is because the green channel has the least noise of all channels and luminosity is - like you already said - a lot higher resulting in brighter edges but only if the greenscreen has been lit brighter than the foreground. It should always be lit by plus/minus a quarter stop to the foreground. Most of the time during principal photography the production is not clear about the final background if it’s going to be a bright or dark lighting situation and the digital compositor will have to do a lot of edge fixing and treatment to restore the contamination in the transition area from foreground to background. Another reason why bluescreen is preferred over greenscreen is if the talent has blonde hair, because it has a lot of greens in it and therefore blue is the better color for matte extraction. Either way the more you know about the final background or the lighting of the scene the better for the artist oh and never forget to shoot a clean plate, but that’s almost always not happening...
