The primary reason for using a specific shade of green (known as “Chroma key green”) is that it is not a colour typically found in human skin tones or most objects, making it easier to distinguish and remove during post-production. When shooting a video or taking photos with a green screen background, the subject (actor or object) is placed in front of the green screen. The green background serves as a backdrop for the intended special effects or composited elements.

In post-production, video or photo editing software (commonly Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or Adobe Photoshop) is used to remove the green background and replace it with another image or video footage. This process is called “keying.” Keying involves selecting a specific colour (in this case, green) and making it transparent in the final composition. This allows you to overlay the subject onto a different background or combine it with other visual elements seamlessly.

Chroma keying opens up a wide range of creative possibilities. You can place actors in fantastical environments, create special effects, transport them to different locations, or even create virtual sets for news broadcasts and video presentations. Proper lighting is crucial when working with green screens. Well-controlled lighting helps create a clean, uniform background that is easier to key out during post-production.

When you want to use the display, simply pull the screen out of the base and attach it to the stabilising pole.
