What is the green screen process (chroma-keying)?
Green Screen or Chroma Keying is a technique for composting two or more images or video streams together based on color hues. These techniques have been used in major motion pictures, TV commercials, and live news broadcasts. This technique is also referred to as color keying or color-separation overlay (CSO). Chroma keying can be done with green or blue backgrounds. These are commonly used because they differ most distinctly in hue from most human skin colors.

Can I get just the raw green screen footage not edited?
Yes you can. This is something we do all the time for agencies and other media companies who may have editors, but simply don't have access to a large talent pool or an awesome studio like ours.
To order this, just select your talent, then fill out the order form on the actor's page. Under the choice "SELECT YOUR BACKGROUND", there is an option for raw green screen. Also, when ordering this way, please ensure that you DO NOT select YES to the "ADD MOTION GRAPHICS" option.
From there we'll shoot and send you a zip file of all of the footage we shoot. If it's a very large order however, it may be best to mail a drive with the footage due to size.
-
Can I Download a Sample Video to See Your Quality?
Yes, you most definitely can.
Most of our clients don't allow us to share the videos we create for them because of the nature of the videos. However, we do have this video for you to check out here that will show you how our footage will look both finished and un-keyed.
Alternately, you can download the full ProRes version here to test out the footage in your non-linear editor in case you want to edit and key the footage yourself, which is a popular choice for many digital agencies.
-
Can I use a custom image behind my spokesperson?
Of course you can and it's pretty easy. On the order form, choose the "custom upload" option in the "background" option and finish your order. After the order is complete, on the order confirmation screen, you'll see a file upload option there.
Alternately, you can click on "my account" link at the top of the site, then select orders followed by selecting the order you want to upload a file to. Once you do that, you'll see a big upload file box there. This image can be anything you'd like, but please note that the image should be at least 1920x1080 or it may look pixelated.
Also, if you choose to have raw green screen as your background method, you can do a chroma key yourself in whatever editing platform you choose and put anything you like in the background.
-
Do I get any reshoots with my order?
According to our terms and conditions, we only offer free reshoots if we mess something up. This streamlined process of ordering is one of the ways we're able to keep the price down and quality up. Any fault in the shoot due to incorrect ordering, script changes, lack of clarity in notes, etc. will no be eligible for a reshoot. For this reason, we advise that you ensure that the script and all notes are correct before submitting an order.

Do I get any re-edits with my order?
According to our terms and conditions: Each order will come with up to 3 minor re-edits as needed to fix things like timing, graphics (if ordered), background, coloring, and other editing aspect. This will not include anything that could involve a reshoot. Any re-edit must be with available materials. Any continued edits requested by the customer after these 3 will be subject to an additional charge, which would be negotiated before the work would take place.
