How Does Green Screen Work?

A green screen studio is an invaluable tool in video production and can really push the limits of what is able to be created in a video. But how does it work?

With the use of video effects and modern technology, a presenter can be superimposed onto virtual backgrounds, allowing you to place them anywhere with any still or animated background.

In order to do this successfully, there needs to be a green screen. This creates a solid background colour that can be later removed and replaced with any setting you like.

So Why Green?

You can actually use any colour for your screen to effectively to remove the background. So why is a green screen the most popular? This decision is simply down to contrast. Green backgrounds differ most from human skin colours and presenters clothing. Therefore, the background can be removed effectively without taking part of the subject or making them invisible all together.
