Green screen tips from 2 girls and their dad. There is more to making a green screen video than just putting up a green screen on the wall or supporting structure. You have to make sure you use the proper lighting technique to achieve the best chromakey results in your video editing software. We show you how professional studio lights know as soft boxes are used when making green screen video recordings. We show you how to get around spending lots of money on professional soft boxes so everyone has a chance to experience better green screen results.
We currently use Adobe CS5 Master Suite Collection including Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects along with Final Cut Studio. We combine Final Cut Pro 7 with Adobe Premiere Pro to give us the best results.
The editing software we use costs over three thousand dollars but there are less expensive alternatives that can get the job done without all the technical complexity of professional editing software. You could use Pinnacle Studio or if you have an iMac computer then you can use iMovie. For Windows based operating systems there is Windows Movie Maker and there are some plugins available to help achieve green screen editing.
We will be showing you how to make scary faces and create other special effects videos using Adobe After Effects CS5. You can download a free 30 trial of that program but after 30 days you will need to purchase it from Adobe in order to continue using it. There are also more plugins available and other codecs offered in the full version.
We use full spectrum CFL lighting which runs at about 5000K to 5500K and simulates natural outdoor daylight. Be sure to read the manufacturer safety guidelines when working around this kind of light and electrical equipment. Although we do represent this being done with a parent some may try to attempt to use all this lighting themselves. So kids please do not attempt this without your parents and be safe!! CFL bulbs contain mercury powders which are poisonous when exposed to the air. If a bulb breaks open windows in your house and leave for more than 15 minutes and also follow any MSDS guidelines referring tot he chemicals in the bulbs.

We will link our editing software video link when it becomes available. Adobe After Effects is the same program used by Daneboe which is the one who makes the Annoying Orange videos and those scary face videos and is also used by iggy35 so be sure to check them out to see some of the neat things you can do with Adobe software and be sure to come back here to see what new special effects video we end up posting.
More funny prank videos will be on the way very soon.

@buca100 We have the space and the equipment but it does not take that much time nor space otherwise we would not do it since we prefer spending quality time outdoors doing fun things.
