Crazy how your setup looks better and more professional than like 99% of pro youtubers who use green screens lol

[@wolfamri]

Thank you 🤗. I have to admit, when I started this video series, I thought my green screen setup and results were pretty good. But since I still always do a lot of research and testing for my videos instead of just copying what others have already done, I objectively improved my results by a lot. But even with the best and cleanest results, what counts much more is the content of the video, so you don’t always need the perfect setup as long as you create valuable content 😁.

Perfect info, thanks for the tips. For me the "nanlite pavotube ii 30" are perfect because I'm trying to record in a small room, but they're really expensive (at least for me) it cost 710€.

[@wolfamri]

[@wolfamri]

Glad it was helpful. Spill is really something that’s difficult to get rid of. Play a little with how bright you light the background to avoid it as much as you can.

[@mediakira6621]

Thanks

[@coryvb3056]

Very good video! Could not watch it all though as it was quite long.

[@wolfamri]

Thank you. Yes, unfortunately it is vey difficult to explain everything that are important to understand lighting in just a few minutes 😉.

[@toregresdal]

I am really curious... would there be any benefit to using green lights to light the greenscreen or is white better? Also, do you prefer any particular white point on your greenscreen lights (indoor 3400K or 5800K outdoor?) Both questions are in the context of the big room setup you demonstrated so spill is less of a problem. Absolutely awesome tutorial btw!!

[@wolfamri]

Thank you 😉. I don’t see green lifhts being beneficial. It doesn’t add anything to the evenness of the lighting, would take away light as you need to filter it and you’d also have to be extremely careful to avoid light spilling on your subject 😉. As far as the color temperature. I don’t really have experience in this regard, but from my understanding, it shouldn’t make much of a difference. Some green screens have a cooler, others a warmer color. Outdoors however, I’m guessing that a daylight balanced source would create a more even color, as it would neither create warmer, nor cooler spots compared to the ambient. I hope that makes sense 😉.

[@toregresdal]

@@wolfamri Excellent answer, thank you! The lightspill is a very important point, the consequence from green spill is far greater than white spill. And I completely agree with you on avoiding mixed color temperatures. The logic behind the color temperature question came into my mind when I was thinking of the RGB sensors in the camera and whether a pure green signal was better than a color sample polluted by R or B. Anyhow, thank you for playing along with the thought experiment. Also... I just wanted to say how I appreciated you used plenty of examples in your video. Its extra work, but it pushed it to the next level above most other greenscreen videos on youtube.

[@wolfamri]

@toregresdal Thank you 🤗🙏. For the background the main thing is to make brightness and color as even as possible while at the same time getting a color that is as different as possible to the main subject (usually skin tines, so green and blue are best, that’s why they are commonly used. If you had a green martian as a subject, you’d have to use a different color 🤣). Green is better for digital because the usual bayer array sensor has twice as many green pixels as blue and red, so the green keys better than blue.

Great video! That's what I needed :) If I may ask - how long is your room? When filming a full body shot, what focal length would you use to get the most natural body proportions and how far would the camera have to be placed from the subject?

[@wolfamri]

Thank you! My room is theoretically 8m, but I usually don’t use it all because I don’t do full body shots. But in general: the more, the better and best would be the focal length of the background that you want to put in. If it is a graphic background, then I’d try to get around 70mm if anyhow possible 😉

Hi, thank you for the helpful video. You talked about softboxes, which one would you recommend for the FS-150, used as background light?

[@wolfamri]

I would get a strip softbox (so longer and narrow). But be aware that softboxes eat quite some light. I assume though that you don't have much space, so it will stand close to the background anyway, then it's not as much of an issue.

[@Obsidian88]

@@wolfamri Thank you for the fast reply. Yes, not a lot of space. Will try to place the lights close to the screen (around 2-3 meters) and try the SB-RT90x60 softboxes (also from Nanlite).

[@wolfamri]

@@Obsidian88 they should work well. If they are not bright enough, you could use a diffuser gel instead of the diffuser cloth, or you dial the main light down a little and raise ISO.

[@toby-green]

These videos are great, after watching the Camera settings video I think my problem may be lighting power. I have no shortage of lights but they are mostly cheap. I use a Godox UL150 with softbox as key light. Then I have around 6 Neewer LED panels of varying wattage 2 x 40W and 4 x 52W which I hope to use top light the green screen. I also have 2 Profoto b10+ but the fans are quite noisy for video. My screen space is about 10ft wide and I can position camera about 9ft away leaving not much room to distance me from the green screen. My camera is a Sony A7iii. I am shooting talking head. I ideally want 2 angles but I like your videos which seem to be shot from 1 angle with changing frame every 5 to 10 secs. My ceiling height is 240. I have set up a 4 post rig (with sound blankets at the side) I can run beams across the top to mount lights. I shave my head. Maybe I should use the Profoto's and deal with the noise. I have a Zoom F2 for lav mic, I haven't tested with profoto lights, maybe easy to remove background sound in production than with my shotgun mic. Do you think I can achieve a good lighting setup?

[@wolfamri]

Yes, I think you can. Maybe you need to raise ISO, But that shouldn't be much of an issue to go to ISO800-1600. Try to use two lights as rim lights. With so many lights, maybe use 4 for the background, and two for rim (without letting the rim light hit the background.

I hope to receive advice from you in this case or do you have any practice videos in this case that can help me recommend? Thank you very much in advance

[@wolfamri]

The more people you have, the more lights you need. Every light will soften the shadow of another light. Another option would be to use stronger lights in bigger softboxes, that would soften the shadow. But these are pretty expensive 😬. Have you seen my green screen editing video? The more masks you create, (e.g. one for the shadows) the better your results will be.

[@dennismbecker]

When shooting full body shots, try using a snoot on your hair lights to avoid the foreground shadows.

[@wolfamri]

Thank you, Dennis. That's a good idea 👌. But that way you must not move around, at least if you don't have a lot of room between the subject and the greenscreen. Plus: you also lose the rim light on the arms, which helps quite a bit. But of course depending on the background you add, a rim light might not be suitable anyway. Any ideas in this regard?

[@zoomzike]

Regarding the nanlite pavotube ll 30', what exact tripods did you mount them on?

[@wolfamri]

I use several. Often I use a travel photo-tripod, but you can mount it on anything that has a 1/4 screw/thread. Either on the bottom, or with the adapter to the side.

[@KPOCanada]

I'm planning to set up a green screen studio in my basement just like yours, and I like your way of mounting on the ceiling, any information how you got that done? I mean the mountings, tracks, etc.

[@wolfamri]

Hi. Mine are very solid ones from our old large studio. They are called “Doppel E” meaning “Double E”. But if you google “ceiling rails” there should be quite some options available. If you always stand on the same spot, you could also directly mount to the ceiling or wall. That would be cheaper.

[@KPOCanada]

@@wolfamri One more question, please. The FS-150 offers 5600k but it's discontinued, is it ok to go with other temperature as long as all the lights offer the same, like 4000K?

[@wolfamri]

@@KPOCanada If you use them for green screen only, then yes, but daylight lights are more versatile IMO. Best is of course Bi-Color lights, because you can adjust the Kelving, but they are more expensive.

[@KPOCanada]

Thank you. I recently purchased a Sony A7 IV and noticed a frustrating design flaw. When I shoot talking head videos with the LCD panel flipped to face me, the HDMI and USB-C cables (used for power supply) obstruct the view of the LCD panel. It seems that Canon doesn’t have this issue. Is Sony really that poorly designed, or am I missing something? Any recommendations for alternative cameras to shoot green screen talking head videos?

[@wolfamri]

@KPOCanada My recommendation would be to not worry 😉. Set it all up with the help of placeholders to roughly get the framing, then do some test shots and you’re done. I have mine behind a teleprompter, so I don’t see it anyway 😉. If you see yourself, that only increases the likelihood to not look into the camera while filming. However, if for whatever reason you really need to see yourself (e.g. if you are pointing at something), then get a cheap HDMI monitor. I have one to the side, because I sometimes look to the side and point at something. In that case I want to see where I point at (map for weather). Depending on what you do though, that’s very likely overkill. I actually stopped doing that for the most part. A look to the side is enough, no need to point exactly where you want. It makes things unnecessarily complicated, doesn’t look all that natural and therefore irritates the viewer more than it helps (or we feel make it look more professional). Keeping it simple and natural is almost always the better way. I hope that helps 😉.

[@zoomzike]

Where did you get the softboxes from? I'm gonna get the recommended Nanlite FS-150 but I don't know where the softboxes you used are. Thanks!

[@wolfamri]

These are chimera softboxes that are pretty old. Don't worry too much about the softbox if you only need it for lighting the background. Just get a rectangular or strip softbox with a bowens mount. For example this one: amzn.to/49LMwzG The chimera have a thinner diffusion fabric, which will let a bit more light through, but that doesn't matter much when lighting a green screen background. You can adapt the other lights accordingly.

As soon as i increased the intensity of green screen lights i am getting better results.... Also i just use a hair light for now.... Shall i also use those rim lights on both sides... Would that help as well.... Also one more workaround to remove those lines is to use a background that is darker but mayb not black.... N less of brighter shades... Thnx from India

[@wolfamri]

Thank you. Does the hair light give you a rim on both sides? If yes, then that should work well. If it's only one side, then you might think about placing it differently. The goal is to make it work on all backgrounds, in case you change the background you are on the safe side ;). Thanks again!

Do you think some iphone apps can be used to measure the lighting on a green screen? I mean of course they're not so good as the meters, but still can be relied on when just measuring the lighing on a green screen?

[@wolfamri]

Yes, I think there are some. Some even come with a dome. But I think the latter is more expensive than a cheap light meter. You can also use the spot metering mode of your camera, particularly to measure its evenness.

[@DaveyJohnMorris]

Hey, love the green screen series. Just wondering about the diagrams of the lighting setups you went through. I can't find them on your site. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@wolfamri]

Thank you so much. Oh, sorry. I need to check. I‘m on the road right now. I will check when I‘m back. 😬. Thank you for the reminder 😉

Do you have a backdrop solution for yoga videos where the speaker's body is in motion, and the camera captures both the walls and the floors?

[@wolfamri]

Not sure I understand. When you say the walls, do you mean two walls? Then the only option would be a cyc wall, which is a rather expensive type of background. If you need two perspectives, consider two takes and rotating the person slightly. Plus: use a yoga mat to avoid ruining the green screen floor when the person moves.

What did you use to clamp and mount your PT4C amaran tube lights to the light stands? I'm having a hard time finding the right clamps to mount my amaran light since it is a 3/8 thread. I checked your links and I couldn't find any clamps you used

[@wolfamri]

Mine are nanlite pavo tubes, and they have their own clamps. You can use adapters if the only issue is the thread.

[@wolfamri]

Thank you for giving me your honest feedback. Please feel free to give us your opinions on better solutions. Any video will always be subjective. But in general, I think you may have a totally wrong idea about how much money youtubers like me make on this platform and with affiliate links 😉. Just to give you a hint, because I like to be honest with people: in the last 28 days, I made USD 344 on youtube and USD 79 on Amazon. From ALL my youtube videos together 😉.

[@CHEESUSHEISTT]

Wolf, this is a great review on some products and your video is 100% matching your title. I would love to see some budget choices that aren’t on your Amazon affiliate list. P.S. I am sorry that you aren’t making more on YT. Try showcasing a budget item that works for the same exact purpose and link it.

[@wolfamri]

Thank you. No need to be sorry, I enjoy making these videos and I even learn the one or the other new thing while doing my research. So all good. I just don't like when people think I'm in it to grab quick money ;). There are budget options, no doubt and I long used growth lights used for agroponics on a self made wooden frame. I also played with lots of other things. But the results I got were no where near as good as the ones I got with the tools I used in this video. Besides I have learned that many people aren't as much into DIY things as I am. Partly because they don't have access to a workshop, partly because they don't even know where to start when builing a wooden frame. Nanlite isn't the most high-end product either. So it's always a question of budget vs actual result. You can easily spend thousands more, but you wouldn't get a better result. So for me that was the reason why I chose the tools used in the video.

[@trey5415]

I am interested in the rail system you are using. Do you have a video on this or can you tell me what brand it is?

[@wolfamri]

Hi! It's from a brand called "Hensel" It's heavy duty though (the Doppel-E system from that brand). I just had it from my old studio, otherwise I would have bought a lighter one. I hope that helps ;)

[@johnlentokone7318]

What would you suggest as a max difference in procent for the smoothness of the green screen lighting? For example is the +-30 % difference in brightness ok?

[@wolfamri]

Do you mean 30% from brightest to darkest area? I’m afraid that’s a bit difficult to answer because 30% is about 1/2 to 2/3 stops. That’s quite a bit. But in the end it depends on what you shoot. Can you elaborate on that?

[@johnlentokone7318]

@@wolfamri Yes eg. 30 % from brightest to darkest area. 7 x 2,8 meter green screen needs a lighting from above. Presenter will stand about 1,6 meters from the screen. The smoothness of the lighting need to specified for the installer.

[@wolfamri]

I'm afraid that is not something I'm familiar with. To be honest it sounds a bit weird to me that the installer asked you that. The less variation, the better - so the more he can even it out, the better it will be. With a green screen of that size, it depends a lot where he can place the lamps. Due to the light falloff the closer the lamps are to the green screen background, the bigger the variation will be (top bright, bottom dark). On the other hand if he places the light further away (more than those 1,6m), the light may spill on your presenter. As an example: if he places the light in a height of 2,8m and 1,6m from the wall, the light will be 1,6m away from the top of the green screen and according to Pythagoras, the bottom will be 3,22m away. That's twice as far. According to the inverse square law that describes the light falloff, the bottom will only get 1/4 of the light that the top will get. That is 2 stops and 200% difference. The installer could potentially bring some lights from the side, but in the center, the difference would still be waaaaay more than 30%. Long story short: you can only make the green screen as even as possible. I hope that helps.

Are these pavotube 30x ?

[@wolfamri]

Hi! Yes, the longer ones were the 30's.

I get an error when clicking on your webpage link…

Thank you! It should be solved now 😉

[@MrMainA]

What's your opinion on Elgato green screens?

[@wolfamri]

I’m afraid I have never tried them 😬. I have a separate video about green screen backgrounds. These are the ones I tried and which one I’d recommend really depends on the use case.

[@MrMainA]

@@wolfamri I actually watched another video after commenting. Really loved the full-body green screen rolls, which you can screw to the wall 😊

[@omujbozekallah7916]

Why don’t just light up green screen from behind instead of rim lights?

[@wolfamri]

There are two reasons 😉. First it would take up a lot of space (or expensive equipment) to evenly light it from behind. Space that you could much better use to move your subject away from the background or move your camera further back for less distortion. And second: particularly the rim light also serves another purpose: it helps separating your subject from the green background and reduces color spill.
