Sample Green Screen Video Request

PostTue Dec 11, 2018 11:39 pm

Hello -

I need to validate my workflow plan and would like to test edit some green screen URSA mini 4K ProRess 4444 60FPS video. Does anyone have a short clip that I can use?

I have purchased new camera, lens and all components except external drives. Still in boxes.

Hoping to use external Thunderbolt 2 10TB drives (not RAID) with a Mac Pro 2013 (barrel) computer.

There's an art to shooting green screen well. I would recommend a couple of books:

Green Screen Handbook
by Jeff Foster
https://www.amazon.com/Green-Screen-Han ... 745&sr=1-4

The VES Handbook of Visual Effects: Industry Standard VFX Practices and Procedures
by Susan Zwerman and Jeffrey A. Okun
https://www.amazon.com/VES-Handbook-Vis ... 867&sr=1-1

These will help you light and prep the material correctly. A lot of it boils down to having a really big green screen and pulling the talent far enough away from it to avoid spill and reflections.

I also think you'll be better off shooting Blackmagic Raw on the Ursa Mini Pro instead of ProRes, because you might get a little more range and a little less noise out of the material.

Is there a specific reason you have to shoot 60fps? That will be a challenge for the Trashcan Macs.
