I’ll so be trying this out next week. Loved loved loved @movethinksmile and their green screen hack. Spurred lots of ideas in my mind. I’m currently up in Scotland to run a workshop and am taking the camera out with me to get some cool landscape/forest pictures for my course.
In our experience, the best video backgrounds are nature based, with subtle movements.
For example, the waterfall we used is where one of the Hunger Games was filmed in North Carolina, USA. We just take our Canon Rebel T5i, set it on a tripod, and let nature do it’s thing.
Moving water. A breeze through leaves. Clouds moving….they all work great for green screens.
