RE: Thanx Victor!

Viper 4:2:2 ?? or 4:4:4?? Using a Viper to shoot 4:2:2 songs like wasting money.

 

In my experience, and I say this because I think there is no perfect recipe for this, but I like very much mine. One of the most important things is to have a very even lighting in the BG, It will be the first thing an experienced DP will check. I found that even if the BG is sub exposed a lot, but is really even, it works fine, but is the expose if good but is not even, then you have problems. Avoid completely overexposing. Blue is not my favorite to work with HDCAM, the compression it too high, green is a bit better in HDCAM, In the case of the train spot we connected the camera directly to a D5 to have full 4:2:2 which an HDCAM will not give you. I always go to the shooting and personally check the status of the greenscreen using a vectorscope and my digital camera.

 

In this project I used Keylight and Primatte depending on the situation. Keylight have a very nice feature that is the in and out mattes, which let you select inside and outside parts for the matte and keep them color corrected with the same color correction than the rest of the image, that is not possible with a the standard DS keyer.

What do you mean with an assistant doing a 100% greenbox?

Thank you Victor for an example!

More question, please!

I'm curious about Key.

 

Last year, i remember my collegue(Chef-Operator) shoted with Viper 4:2:2  with bluebox but when i saw the tape,

it was 3 differents blue around the actor.

It was not easy to use the key some clips.

Finally the clients accpeted, but we wasted a long time to do a multiple shape to correct...

 

My question is...

Did you use Blue/green keyer or with special  plug-in like keylight?

Or an assistant is doing to make 100% green box before your work?

Or maybee there is a good director for shooting Green?

 

It's there any best step to make best key?

 

Thank in advance.
