Unfortunately I missed the workshop, but from catching up from notes here is what I have larnt:
Choose the Right Equipment:
Use a quality camera with manual settings.
Opt for professional lighting equipment to ensure even illumination on the green screen.
Select Appropriate Green Screen Material:
Use a fabric or paint that provides a consistent, flat, and bright green colour.
Avoid shiny or reflective materials that can cause hotspots.
Lighting is Key:
Illuminate the green screen evenly to minimise shadows and variations in colour.
Use three-point lighting for your subject to separate them from the background.
Positioning:
Place your subject at a sufficient distance from the green screen to prevent shadows.
Avoid having the subject wear clothing similar to the green screen colour.
Camera Settings:
Set a low ISO to reduce noise.
Use a higher shutter speed to avoid motion blur.
Adjust the aperture and focus to keep your subject sharp.
White Balance:
Set the white balance on your camera to match the lighting conditions in the studio.
Greenscreen footage can then be taken into editing, following along with the tutorial provided.
Masking in Adobe Premiere Pro with Green Screen
Import Footage:
Open Adobe Premiere Pro and start a new project.
Import your green screen footage and the background you want to use.
Create a New Sequence:
Right-click on your imported footage and select "New Sequence from Clip."
This creates a sequence with settings matching your footage.
Place Background Clip:
Drag your background footage to the timeline on a track below your green screen footage.
Apply Ultra Key Effect:
Select your green screen footage on the timeline.
Go to the "Effects" panel, search for "Ultra Key," and drag it onto your green screen clip.
Key Out the Green:
In the Effects Control panel, select the eyedropper next to the "Key Color" option.
Click on the green screen in your footage to key it out.
Adjust the "Tolerance" and "Pedestal" settings to refine the keying.
Masking:
Select your green screen clip on the timeline.
In the Effects Control panel, find the "Pen Tool" under the Opacity section.
Click on the Pen Tool and start drawing a mask around the subject. Close the mask to complete it.
Refine Mask Position:
Adjust the mask position, scale, and rotation as needed to fit your subject.
Use keyframes if your subject moves throughout the footage.
Feather the Mask:
Increase the feathering of the mask to create a smooth transition between your subject and the background.
Add Shadows (Optional):
Duplicate your green screen clip on the timeline.
Place the duplicate above the original, and move it slightly to create a shadow effect.
Apply effects like blur to the duplicate for a realistic shadow.
Fine-Tune the Composition:
Playback your footage to check for any issues.
Adjust the position, scale, or mask shape if needed.
Export:
Once satisfied, go to "File" > "Export" > "Media" to export your composition.
