One of the main points when filming on a greenscreen is what
colors and fabrics will work for the best results. Hi I'm Al Doane
of Media Content Advantage and I'd like to give you some
pointers on what you should wear into the studio to give your
video the best result possible.
First, you want to wear something totally void of any Green color-
take this shirt for instance. Not a good choice. Why? Well look
what happens when I put in a background behind me.-Yikes! I have
more holes in me than a bad guy in a Clint Eastwood movie.
You see once we put you onto your background, any green showing
up in the fabric of your shirt, or pants if your full length,
will become virtually invisible and you'll see straight through
it to the background. That's because anything green or even
green tinted will be removed from the video.
What you want to wear are solid color shirts with nice muted colors,
like Light or Dark Blue, Greys,Black,or any Pastel Color. Bright reds
or oranges will work but we don't really recommend them.
Also, you want to wear a shirt that is cotton or a heavy cotton
blend. Polo shirts and oxfords probably work best.And since we are
"micking you up" so to speak with a clip on microphone, and the cord
will need to be run down the inside of your shirt to the transmitter
that will be on your back-if your shirt is very light weight or
made of a material like silk, it will may interfere with the
microphones performance or look.
If you wear a jacket or sports coat, a dark navy blue or black
will work best as we can hide the microphone easily from the
lapel of the jacket.
If you have any questions on what to wear feel free to give us
a call prior to coming in and filming. Or just bring several
different choices with you, we can help you choose the best one
for you to give you the best on camera presence.
