Hi!
I'm looking to greenscreen videos for YouTube for under £600. The camcorder I have is only 720p HD and even then it isn't the best quality. It cannot key out the background and me together and it always makes a horrible sound throughout the video. I have to use After Effects CS5.5 to key out and even then it doesn't key out properly with keylight 1.2 with the settings changed. It's a FujiFilm Finepix s3200.
What camcorder should I get that can fit all my needs?
And...... What lighting should I get as I only turn on some lamps.
Thanks.
P.S. It MUST BE CHEAP!!
Palladine and Carl: Great answers! This helps me so much. Thanks!
Answer
I do green screen. My lights and stands, follow along and find out.
My stands are made form 2 Empty, used paint cans, a couple of 8 foot 2 X 2s, 4 bolts, 8 washers, 4 nuts. Tools needed, drill, drill bit, screwdriver, various wrenches., saw. sawed about 3 1/2 inches off of each pole, used them inside the can. Drill through 2 X 2, pail side and shot 2 X 2, fasten all together with bolts, washers and nuts. Fill can with gravel, rocks, something heavy. If needed, cut top off so as fit in your place your shooting.
To light the screen, I use 4 $12 clamp lights. I also have about 10 $4 spring clamps, one of those holds the clamp light. The light is pointing at a piece of Foam Board, spring clamps, 2, hold it on. The light reflects back onto my green screen. Works great. In the 4 lamps I have mounted on the 2 X 2s, all are mounted that way.
My talent lighting, I own 3 Light poles from previous adventures in m,y life, I use clamp lights, again held on to the light poles by the spring clamps, to do a 3 point lighting setup. Works great.
My camcorders are all Canon ZR series MiniDV tape camcorders. I use Pinnacle Studio 14 HD Ultimate as my Video Editing NLE program. It all works very good together.
My only misgiving, I wish I had a larger room to do this in.
