[@billybrackman5143]

Last few seconds were the best!!!

[@Flamamacue]

This is so cool. When I started playing with MJ this was one of my first thoughts. When creating the scenes, you can actually specify the focal length as a prompt. I usually just use "focal length xxmm" and even aperture, it usually helps the prompt. You could probably even specify shot on Arri Alexa to get a certain look

[@drmatthewhorkey]

All of this is way above my pay grade but it sure was educational and informative to watch!

[@rwmorey71]

Same!

[@SwimBikeRunFastest]

They are some of the best green screen backgrounds I have ever seen. Amazing job. I can't wait to have a play with my set up

[@musicandairplanes6330]

Great innovation and clear instruction! Thank you so much! I have been doing green screen for five years and using cloth backgrounds. Time to get a screen behind my models! Thanks again!

[@jimvh7557]

The second setup looks dope! Love it ❤ I have to try it out one day!!

[@brennyC]

Wow..!! Amazing the initial shots.! hats off..!!👏👏

[@BecomingContent]

Incredible results! Seamless!

[@theboomreport3243]

Awesome! Would love a tutorial on how you prompted midjourney to get the right look and camera height for these shots.

[@nawafilm]

Another great video. I love how you used amaran mc to better blend your talent with the background :)

[@lionbeatscobra]

Wow wow. Looks so good. Seen others do this but great job keeping the realism.

[@ptrsamson21]

This absolutely magical, encapsulates filming, the limitations are only the imagination.

[@the_mig]

With the amount it cost in lights alone, it would have paid you to just fly to a location that had that look for real in the background.. I understand the project in using the AI background and I do respect the effort! .. perhaps you could do a more budget version of this to show the people who would more likely use this green screen technique ?

[@brenthearn4161]

They could probably achieve a similar look with lower budget by picking a room with windows that match the ai background. It could actually be cheaper if you're filming several interviews. Its actually far cheaper if you're doing multiple interviews: instead of flying or driving, lugging gear, setting up in each location they could just re-arrange the lighting in a single room and swap out the backgrounds. Save on time and money.

[@daltonidaho]

You did a great job matching the light!

[@scotey]

You really nailed the first one. If I were immersed the story, I'm not sure i'd pick up on the keyed-in AI background. At least not immediately. Very nice work.

[@TravisTravels]

Mind Blown! I honestly never liked green screens. But this makes me want to try!

[@Praxiszooms]

the effects are brilliant!

[@AnthonySherritt]

Really excellent and practical information! Thank you!

[@EpicLightMedia]

Hey thanks!!!!

[@MertBert]

This tutorial is a great step by step! One thing I would add is, don't use 'cheap' blur filters but pay attention to the depth in the background and use filters like Camera Lens Blur, with an added depth matte (which can be AI generated) to really create a more realistic blur. And pro tip: Try putting a light and a chair in the background to see how much it's actually blured in real life, then don't overdo the blur in post.

[@mccrackenmedia3435]

You did a great job. Looks amazing

[@parodyverse]

This is a great idea, I'm definitely going to try it. Thanks for the detailed tutorial on how to make it work.

[@EpicLightMedia]

Good luck!! It’s fun!! Thanks!

[@charming_and_granite]

Uh. Wow. That was dope. I'm going to try this.

[@matoflynn]

You matched these so well

[@schwartzbrothersmedia]

I'm literally working on a video now that I used ai for to make 4 backgrounds for 4 different interviews. Makes it so much easier to just set up a green screen instead of being busy with lighting and set designing a whole room.

[@AustinPageofficial]

any thoughts on trying to get a few angles of the "same" generated room? If that was an actual scene there would likely need to be a front and a 3/4 or side view. I didn't think Midjourney had contextual awareness with it's prompts to be able to essentially say "now generate perpendicular angle of the same room facing the window" for example.

[@schwartzbrothersmedia]

@@AustinPageofficial I only needed one because I used it for interviews. I'm not really sure how to get different angles.

[@khylerrunnels3376]

I do interviews often for work and have difficulty finding good spaces and making them work. I’d love to see some examples of what you’re doing with green screen, that could be a game changer for me

[@user-ik8vy1rg8f]

Dang dude. Nice execution!

[@dennisherold7887]

Great video. You could put the background into an editor and clean up some of the strange things to make it even more realistic.

[@marcdevinci893]

Thanks for this, very informative. Now with the previewing the keying on a laptop to make sure our lighting matches our background, I see that most of those video capture card are 4K. Does that mean if I want to shoot 8K does it mean I won't see the picture? Or will it still display at the maximum resolution of the card? I guess for setting up one can always do it in 4k and when ready to shoot bump it up to 8k.

[@storybabble]

Nice work as always. Love it.

[@EpicLightMedia]

Hey thanks Mark!!!!

[@Defrisseprins]

Amazing results and great work! Can’t wait for someone that achieves the same results with an iPhone, a green screen and some Wallmart stuff… :-)

[@stevecortman3012]

I subscribed because of the ending. Great video! It was really fun to watch.

[@EpicLightMedia]

Oh thanks!! Welcome to the channel….. haha

[@user-qz2id3gc9k]

Me too! 😂😂😂 "We don't want any more subscribers". It works right?

[@TommyRosati]

1st time viewer here. Man, this is really nice work...with tons of great info...however, most of us who have $20K (or more) worth of film-making gear laying around, will likely already know how to do these types of things. May I suggest doing videos like this with both a pro budget, AND an indie budget? i.e. 'If you don't have $8K worth of lights, use these type of lights instead.' I think that would be much more helpful for most of us here on KZbin. Again, great work! I enjoyed this so much, I WILL be subscribing.

[@kokesjohn]

I agree. How many KZbinrs can afford this camera and lights setup ? Good job on the tips and tricks. Thank you 🙂

[@LightsFollowOfficial]

this is crazy good!

[@jeffbelcher4196]

[@ContentCreationWithMatt]

This is solid content!! Great job! so inspired! what would you recommend for green screen work if you have a super small space? I'm in a 8FT squared room.

[@EpicLightMedia]

I would recommend using a TV as a green screen in a small room

[@megantanart]

this is so well explained, thanks so much !!

[@brucequinn]

Super! I loved the phrase, "The AI image has warm practical lights" (meaning "practical lights" that don't exist!)

[@bradpaulp]

Well done. I wonder what it would all look like if you just had maybe one light on the greenscreen, and maybe two lights on the talent to work with.

[@a-51labsstudio90]

One light can be enough for the chroma. The amount and quality of these people's equipment is insane. You can get ideas though.

[@marsgizmo]

Love this so much! iIt's so freaking inspiring, now I wanna replicate as well. Thanks so much for the tips! 🙌

[@EpicLightMedia]

So glad!

[@Cammi-Cat-XIII]

Awesome! I’m gonna have to try this myself!

[@EpicLightMedia]

It’s surprisingly easy

[@MyApon]

I've always enjoyed watching your videos, and they're very inspiring for anyone who's interested in filming. I have a space that's 11 feet by 20 feet with removable furniture, and I'd like to use it for a two-person interview. I'd appreciate your help in suggesting how I can use this space to use AI-generated backgrounds. A drawing and lighting suggestions would be very helpful. If I keep the green background 10 feet behind the interviewer, then where should I place the cameras? Would we be able to use 3 DSLR cameras in this small space? I appreciate your suggestions.

[@TelekinesisStudios]

I see your MoGraph/VFX Artist is leveling skill on your logo. Pretty sweet.

[@user-nx6xj8ec6v]

Great work!! How can generate different backgrounds from one scene, for a multiple angles? hope I explained myself well.

[@drafeirha]

Please make a part 2 about the post production!

[@PotentialPictures99]

Great content!!! Thank you!

[@parodyverse]

I just tried the reverse of this in my latest video. I shot the green screen video first, took a still from it after the grade and used generative fill to match the lighting of the subject. Your process is still better but a.i is getting scary accurate in matching the lighting and fov.

[@RafiBarides]

absolutely insane! wow

[@p_p]

the ending always make me laugh. fantastic channel

[@paddy_cakes]

Hey guys, LOVE the next level lighting tuts - did you find it easier to key the green screen with the first setup with two lights or the second setup with the single green hue light?

[@EpicLightMedia]

I think the first but they were both tricky to key

[@DrywaterProductions]

@@EpicLightMedia Any resources you can suggest for tutorials on keying? Your results were incredible and I was really hoping you would show us that process as well.

[@LamarMK]

WOW!!! Amazing video. 💯👍💪

[@photojoseph]

What software are you using to get the perfect key?? Was that in wirecast?

[@CaptainSnackbar]

Best option to chroma key live on set is to have 1 blackmagic Decklink connected to the camera and a PC by using unreal engine you can keyout your actor and output it back to a monitor

[@johankezer2240]

Epic video as always! 👊🏻 Can you please reveal which 'search words' you used after 'prompt' in midjourney? I'm having trouble to generate an image wide enough for my needs. Thanx a lot! I did definitely NOT subscribe years ago...

[@EpicLightMedia]

“ --ar 16:9” add that at the end of your prompt for 16:9 ratio. Each version of mid journey can have slight changes but this works with the current version.

[@flo.motion]

Hey! Super cool! Thanks a lot! Quick question; I know it is no green screen tutorial, just wondering which codec you are using/ recording to get that key with each hair strand? Again Thanks a lot! Oh, by the way, you mention that the camera position is guesswork... if you draw vanishing lines, you will find your horizon! If that is in the middle, the camera is straight... if it is above the camera is tilted down and if it is beneath the middle the camera is facing upwards! As the horizon does not change its position when moving the camera up or down, this will make it way more easy to find the cam hight!

[@EpicLightMedia]

Wow good to know thanks!!

I’ve using the core Shark fin since almost 2 years. And my camera (ursa 12k) is doing that annoying clicking sound ever since. It was today that I realized it is caused by the core shark fin. The clicking noise has about the same noise level as the fan. So it’s quite hard to hear. Did u ever run into this kind issue with your ursa?

[@EpicLightMedia]

No actually we haven’t had that problem
