Before After

Chromakey video compositing is a technique that has been used for many years in the TV and film industry for separating actors and presenters from a background, and then adding (compositing) a different background electronically, it is sometimes referred to as matting.

An every day example of chroma keying with with the weather report shown on television, the presenter is not actually stood in front of a map of the countries weather, he/she was, in actual fact, stood in front a plain green or blue background, the complete background image is set up within a separate source such as a computer software program. The final image that we see is a composite image that has had the blue or green background of the presenter replaced by the background picture, this technique is called Chromakey and is done with in-picture electronic switching between the two video sources.

Blue or Green is generally chosen as a key colour because there is no blue or green in a flesh colour, you want to use the a chromakey color that is very saturated and that it is not present in the foreground subject that we want to cut-out. The most effective colors are Blue and Green.

For video use the chroma key colour used is green as this works best for video use. With actual film the chroma key colour used is blue.

With our portable Chromakey system supplied by us, setting up a studio in an office or even a storeroom couldn't be easier. With a flick of the wrist and placing the light ring on the camera, you can be shooting within minutes and with a minimal amount of lighting. No hot studio lights to work under. The results are natural skin tones and even lighting which is normally impossible to achieve with regular chromakey technologies.

Our chromakey video filming system is available for hire with a member of our film crew. You can produce the final result of the chromakey using your own video editing software or we can produce the final output for you.
