Nathaly Pinheiro Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) Hello, I would like to understand the common approach when lighting a green screen outdoors. I understand that the green screen must be between 40-55 IRE. I have seen some behind the scenes that got me confused about when it is actually necessary to use artificial light for the green screen and when just the skylight is enough. The first two examples below were shot around 17h, before sunset. The first dp didn´t light the chroma at all while the other one used a skypanel with a chimera. So when shooting at this time of the day, what is the common approach? About the third example, usually when it is sunny I thought the skylight would be enough to light the green screen even if its in shade but there the dp used a 1.8HMI. Was it really necessary?

Bob Beresh Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 I'm curious to hear the opinions and methodology for outdoor chroma. Good question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
