Chroma Key Software Just Your Imagination

Before the camera people relied on the talent of artists who created magic with every brushstoke on the canvas.Fine photographic art can now be produced by the masses, using the computer and chroma key software.The details and imagination knowing no bounds for the creator of these modern masters.The camera captures the imagination with a visual memory.Just by thinking outside of the box, you can go to places that don’t exist,do things that are humanly impossible and bring dreams closer to reality.But creative imagination without the right chroma key software is destined to stay in the creators mind unseen by others.Also known as green screen editing, it can help you to produce some startling illusions that can be enjoyed by many.A bride and groom in another galaxy or a child in their favorite cartoon, there are no bounds to the possiblities.You could also place people on this world in places they have never been to,but with this simple technique, you can at least make it seem as though they where actually there.

One of the biggest problems we see in developing believable shots, no matter what the medium is with the lighting. With the new software suites and technologies that companies are developing, managing the technical aspects of lifting keyed figures out and placing them into a new setting has become an easy task. So we find ourselves at a place where creating a great shot is less about technical capability, and more about an eye for detail, design and  lighting.To start with,the subject is shot in front of a green or blue screen.The software then removes this color from the photograph and places another picture in the empty space.This technique has been common on television for the presentation of weather reports.The weather person stands in front of the green screen, while the maps and graphic animation plays behind.
So, time to set up the shot.Place the chosen screen in position, inside gives you control of the weather but lighting without shadows is more difficult,outside in sunshine gives good even light distibution. Just be sure there are no shadows on the screen.Make sure the subject isn’t wearing clothes of the same color as the screen, or they may have invisible parts! When you have created and taken the shots you are happy with it’s time for the technical magic.
Don’t worry the chroma key software is really easy and so user friendly, you’ll be an expert in no time.It’s now time to bring your illusion to reality. The possibilities are endless and once you become confident and see the exciting results or the smiles on your clients faces you will be inspired to greater challenges.
