What is Keying?
Keying is the process of isolating a
single colour or brightness value in an electronic image and using software to
make that value transparent, allowing another image to show through the
affected areas. Luminance keying, or luma keying, is the process of keying out
a brightness value or range, like black or white. Luminance keys are often used
for applying mattes. Colour keying, or chroma keying, identifies a specific
colour to remove – hence the green screen.
Why Green?
Many people use the terms chroma
keying and green screening interchangeably, but the principle that powers
chrominance keying is not limited to the green parts of the spectrum. In the
visual effects world of Hollywood, blue screens are far more common than green.
In fact, you can key out any colour; red, yellow, purple or pink, blue and yes,
green. So why is it that an ugly shade of green is the hue of choice for
television and video? The biggest factor is contrast. In order to isolate one
area from the rest, the background colour must be distinctly different. Bright
green beats blue partially because it is not a colour commonly worn by people.
Any clothing that matches the background too closely will also key out,
punching a hole in your subject’s body, or making him invisible altogether. The
likelihood of someone rocking up in green screen green is fairly low!!
Here is a short video that explains how a green screen
works, it’s short and it simplifies the process. Click here
to watch and learn how easy it is to work with a green screen.
What do I Need?
You can erect a simple chromakey
setup almost anywhere with just a few basic tools. In order to shoot footage
that will key cleanly, you will need a green background, a source of bright,
even lighting, and a tripod to lock your camcorder in place.
You can find all these things at Dungarvan Enterprise
Centre, so all you need is to find a video editor that works for you.
