This video deminstrates how much easier chroma keying can be when using a high end camear.

What I did was I used both my low end consumer camera and the colleges' pro. grade camera to shoot in my studio using my lights and green screen.
You can see how much better the high end camera works in this setting.

Enjoy,
Thanks for watching

  • Wait what camera's work on green screens? And what are the prices?

  • All cameras work with green screens but the higher priced ones work better as shown in this video. The sony FX cam I used was over $2,000 and the consumer HC32 was $500 at the time I baught it 4 years ago.

  • Actually, I think you'll find that the mpeg compression in HDV can be a bit tough to pull a key on as well under some circumstances. Hopefully the newer generation HDV cams that are starting to use the latest MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 will be a step up. I'm dying to see Pannasonics AG-HMC151 when it comes out. (Actually it might be selling by now).

  • Yea I heard about that new camera and was originally looking into the 100B for myself but sadly I dont have any cash for any gear right now.

    I will give it a few months and see how the reviews go on it. I am a big fan of MiniDV tapes right now although those solid state cameras are really moving up quickly...

see all

  • Good job Dave!

  • thanks dave!

  • Well the good news is that even though HDV will take over everything in another couple of years, you could probably buy a used 100B real soon very cheap. I have to say that I saw "November" when it first came out (shot on a 100A) and it looked fantastic even stretched out over a 30' screen. If I didn't know better I would have guessed it was 16mm film. I wouldn't hesitate to use one for a film providing I wasn't needing any long range shots. A used 100B might serve you well for another 5 years.

  • thanks nice tips
