Green Screen

[DavidSchneider]

I've started talking to a Renasissance festival about doing Green Screen. Problems are: 1. they don't have very much space indoors, and 2. I have Express Digital software, but have never done green screen.

How much space is needed to set up lights, green screen, plus area to shot and print on-site and area for sales?

Any information is appreciated.

Hi David,
I shoot greenscreen. Size of the area needed depends on what your shooting and how many supjects. If I have kids on a motorcycle vs. a couple standing for a 3/4 length, you can see you'll need different space. Generally you need to eliminate shadows on the background, I keep at least 4 feet between subject and it. You need to have room for the printers and computer, sales and packaging table, Lighting, ctc. Normally this works out to about 10x15 area. More is better.
