In this part of the video series, we're going to show you how to set up a green screen to create professional videos. I'm going to give you a couple of options depending on the space you're in. First let's look up, look at a pop-up system. As you can see, I've set up a couple of lights here too. Like the pop-up green screen.

I wouldn't normally have them so close to me because I'm probably getting a bit of burnout on the sides here, but it's so you can see them in the shot. And the point is, is that pointing towards the center of the greenscreen and, directly across, to give quite an even lighting, which of course it'd be better if the lights are further away and they'll give a more soft even spread, you don't need lights like this. You're probably better with some just flat panels. Fhey're easier to store, I just had these knocking around. I thought I'd just pop these ones up. Now I'm just going to show you how we set up the greenscreen.

You don't have to use a stand. You could lean it against a chair or a bookcase depending on your space. As you can see, we've got the green screen in place and the lights are evenly lighting it and it means we can now easily cut out in post-production like that. Of course, we've masked out the other objects that were in the frame, but it's very easy to do when you lite it nicely and evenly.

Other things to bear in mind, um, the lights are behind me, I'm not getting any burnout on me, um, or too much highlight. And also it's light in the background evenly. The position of the light is diagonal across it, so they give a nice even spread. And also the green screen, I'm keeping it, you know, a good five feet away from me, four feet at least so that I don't get too much green rim lighting around me.

You might not have the backlight I've got there. You haven't any problem, but you're more likely to get some green edging. This is one solution. This is great for going into offices, working in home offices, but you can just pop out really easily and pack it away quite tightly. The second option I'm going to show you is if you've got more space.

The next setup I'm going to show you is great. If you've got more space and you want to be filming two people and interview, uh, anything, you need more space if you've got more space. You're not so restricted on your own movements as well, I'm using a chroma key color arm. That's on a rail, touch the wall, and I'm just going to lower that down.

Now you could also use a frame pop-up that you have a green material that comes down and you can cover the floor with that. That's also great because you can transport that around. You can pack it away, but if you have gotten a space where you can put something fixed, it is very fast. If you want to quickly make content, I'll just show you that.

As you can see that super fast to pop down and you can start creating content instantly. Now I could pull the paper roll further along, or I just cut the video higher up. I cut the camera angles higher up or do it in post. Depending on what you want, but it means I've got more room to move around here.

I hope you found this useful.
