Lighting

Site Lighting

A proper lighting environment will significantly improve the shooting. We recommend that:

• Use three or four professional photography lights for lighting, including the main light, auxiliary light, product light (for the shooting of desktop products), background light, and outline light (optional). For details, see Figure 1.
• The light does not change significantly during the recording.
• The green-screen background is even and bright to avoid shadows or uneven brightness.
• Ensure that there is no shadow or reflection between the actor/object and the green-screen background.

FAQs

What if I do not have so many lighting devices?

There is no need to worry about this. You only need to ensure that the person is evenly and stably illuminated and can be clearly distinguished from the green-screen background. Ensure that there is no obvious shadow on the face or body of the person.

If the number of lighting devices is limited, light the subject to be photographed first, and then fill light on the green screen.
