Green Screen Test #3

We tried a third green screen test with our actress Lauren Bradley. We tried using a moving background, however we decided that it may be distracting of attention away from Lauren and her speech - also, this particular background didn't loop so effortlessly, after about six seconds of zooming in, it would snap back to it's original position so we needed something that we could have on a continuous loop. We also made sure that our actress' make up and hair was flawless preventing the light problems we'd previously had and smoothed down her fly-away hairs, which previously the greenscreen hadn't quite permeated, leaving a sort of green halo around her head. The key issue with this was the noise in the background - I think an extractor fan, which we hadn't realized was quite so prominent when filming, but the blue of the background brings out quite a lot of red in Lauren's skin and we want her to have a very pale, perfect, almost clinical feel. We experimented at the end with having her greenscreened on top of herself which though gave a quite cool, trippy sort of effect - again the flyaway hairs corrupted the image behind.
