What to light first?

Before you even think about lighting the talent you need to light the green screen first. It needs to lit as evenly as possible.

I am sure you have heard this before, it’s easier said than done, but how do I do this you ask? If you are using a large studio you should be able to hang the lights from a truss.

Space lights are very useful as they provide a very soft even light.

You can trace them so they don’t spill light onto your talents head. Other methods are to use larger lights 10K or HMI (corrected to tungsten) through a silk or diffusion frame.

The further you can set the lights from the green screen the better as it is easier to keep the same even F Stop on it.

This is down to the Inverse Square Law – explained with loads of other TOP TIPS in How To Become a Cameraman

If you are working with a smaller back drop i.e. 12×12 (in the picture above) the best thing to do is use it on a frame.

This way it will be tight and not have any creases. Making a ‘goal post’. x2 large stands and a scaffold pole is also a great option.

You can also build another one of these to hang lights onto it. For example if your back drop is 12×12, build a goal post with a scaffold pole that is longer and safely rig x3 2K Blondes onto it

(I would also recommend having a Grip or member of the Electrical department do this to ensure safely rigged). It is important to use exactly the same power lights on the rig, space them evenly and tilt them evenly.

You will also need to add some diffusion this will help soften the light and spread it, it can also help prevent over exposing the green screen.

Once these lights are in position make sure your house lights are OFF and there isn’t any daylight spill into the room then check the light reading of the green screen.

You can do this in two ways. One by using a light meter or if you don’t have one a very cool trick and MY TOP TIP is to use your camera as a a light meter.
