Event Planning - Practise Run-through!


So today we had the practise session with our technical demonstrator. In this we created the entire setup from scratch, as we would have it on the day. We started off by setting up the screen and lighting. We used three-point lighting to light the screen and had to make sure they were set up so that there were no shadows on the screen. Any shadows would be a darker shade of green and therefore would not chromakey well.



We eventually got the entire set up working and the technician taught me the ins and outs of the vision mixer. It was relatively easy to work out and had simple input and output selections. The image from the laptop would run through the input side and then you would select chromakey and use the lever to adjust the colour range. The colour range was to be adjusted so that you get the same shade of green as the screen and don’t get any unwanted effects.
