 An easy and powerful technique is using a computer or TV screen as a background for your subject or as a practical effect. Let's take a closer look at that. One way to use this technique is a background to your product shots. Open up on your screen a solid or gradient colorized image. You can also use an interesting video loop, then take your product and place it in front of your screen. And already you can see that your product shot looks interesting. You can also get really creative with different video loops or different colors on your screen. Placing your product on a reflective surface, a spinning platform and playing around with your lighting setup will all increase your production value and make your product shots more interesting. To get the best results, we recommend using a tripod and shooting your product shots with narrow lenses. If your screen is flickering, try to play around with your frame rates or shutter speeds and that should solve the issue. Get creative and use this technique for other purposes like this one. Or this example from one of our productions where we created a realistic subway scene and used a TV screen to fake the motion outside the cart's window. And that's how a simple technique with a screen can help you create beautiful backgrounds and practical effects. Until the next one, stay creative.
