We even captured the shots out of focus, so they have a natural depth of field when combined with the interview footage. So we filmed multiple angles, wides, close-ups, sitting positions, standing positions.

Varied – Filming interviews can often depend on the contributor, some are more comfortable sitting some standing, some may require more takes and more angles.

They could sit down for the piece to camera at their own location, in their own time. Thinking solely about the green screen setup, the contributor had greater flexibility.

Flexible – As with a lot of our clients, the contributors being filmed are very, very busy people.

It may seem extreme to put all that effort into filming a bookcase backdrop, but let’s think about the benefits The client could chose any specific features they wanted to include in the background, branding, location etc… and we had the flexibility to pick the angles that were just right. With a wide shot of the two contributors and closeups on each, we needed the ability to pick and chose different angles to suit. One good example of this was when they filmed a newsroom style interview. Putting the images of glorious tropical beaches to one side, this means you can pick and chose the right backdrop to suit the content you’re creating. It can never be the same as filming against a genuine backdrop, but it does have the huge advantage that you can literally have ANYTHING in the background. The first stage was to offer our expertise on the different types of setup and kit and end results they should be aiming for. Once the consultation was completed, the next question to answer was, what to put in the background? Green screen can have some creative draw backs

This was obviously an investment for the company, and we wanted to help them make the most of it.

They can have green screen and cameras setup and ready whenever needed. Our client, a leading arbitration law firm, has the capacity to have their own filming setup in their offices. Yes that was essentially the brief that we worked on recently, but it does make sense when you read into it… (sorry)
