Production Diary: Green Screen, You So Mean.

One of the biggest obstacles in this project (aside from the obvious ones) has been the green screen. Ideally, I should have gone for cardboard for its uniformity and sturdy structure. Instead, I've been using cloth sheets. The main reason, was for lack of table space, hanging a sheet seemed like a better option.

Still, without a 'frame', I'm left with a fair few shadows, and a good thirty to forty minutes rectifying pockets with lighting before I shoot any scene involving green screening. Thankfully, I'll soon be moving away from the green screen and onto... a blue screen! Woo. But also outdoors, where there shall be other obstacles.

Like 'attack birds', strolling cats, heatstroke and pesky things like light temperature.
