The biggest secret to use green screen is to make your final video look as if you haven't used a green screen. If the audience is able to tell that you have shot using green screen then they will be taken away from the story your subject tells.

Proper lighting is absolutely crucial when it comes to green screen. The most important thing about green screen and keying it out properly is the lighting and its even distribution, as well as the body positioning.

In this course I will teach you how to effectively light a green screen, how and where to place your subject so you can easily key out the green screen in post-production.

You will learn as well what tools I use in Adobe Premiere Pro to key out, replace and chose a variety of different backgrounds so your video looks professional.

As a bonus I will teach you how to create the outdoor look so the audience is never able to tell you used green screen.

Enjoy the course and I look forward to seeing your projects.
