Why Cinema Needs Green Screen

In the Cinema sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, Green Screen delivers measurable results that transform how cinema professionals communicate with their audience.

Specific Challenges for Cinema

Film industry video production serves the promotional ecosystem around feature films, documentaries, and series — making-of documentaries, EPK (electronic press kit) interviews, behind-the-scenes featurettes, and red carpet coverage that support distribution and marketing campaigns. Making-of content must be captured during production without disrupting the filming schedule, requiring a dedicated BTS crew that understands on-set etiquette, lighting protocols, and the hierarchy of the main production team. EPK interviews with directors, actors, and key crew follow a specific format expected by broadcasters and press outlets: consistent backgrounds, broadcast-quality audio, and responses that work as standalone soundbites. Festival premiere coverage (Cannes, Venice, Berlin, Toronto) requires rapid turnaround — event footage captured today must be edited and distributed within hours for maximum press impact. Distribution targets entertainment press, broadcaster programming departments, and streaming platform editorial teams. Budgets range from 3,000-10,000 euros for EPK packages to 15,000-50,000 euros for full making-of documentaries.

Video Challenges in Cinema

Documenting and Democratizing Art

Cultural institutions face the challenge of reaching audiences beyond their physical walls. 62% of museum visitors watch online content before visiting, and virtual exhibitions have become essential for global reach. Video must capture the visceral impact of art while respecting the artist's vision and the work's integrity.

From exhibition documentation to artist interviews, performance capture to educational content, cultural video requires sensitivity and technical excellence. Low-light gallery conditions, reflective surfaces, and the need to convey scale and texture all present unique production challenges.

Success Stories & Case Studies

Museum Virtual Exhibition

A contemporary art museum produced virtual tour videos of their flagship exhibition. Online viewership reached 2.8M (vs 180K physical visitors), international ticket sales increased 34% for subsequent exhibitions, and the museum's subscriber base grew 156%.

Key Benefits for Cinema

Audience Expansion & Cultural Impact

Cultural video amplifies reach exponentially: virtual exhibition videos reach 15x more people than physical visits, artist interview series increase exhibition attendance by 34%, and educational art content builds long-term audience loyalty. Cultural institutions with active video channels report 45% higher membership renewal rates.

Our Green Screen Process

VFX Pipeline

1. Plate Preparation: Shot analysis, camera tracking, rotoscoping, and clean plate generation for smooth integration.

2. Asset Creation: 3D modeling, texturing, and lighting of CG elements to match the live-action plate perfectly.

3. Compositing: Multi-layer compositing in Nuke/After Effects with color matching, grain matching, lens distortion, and atmospheric effects.

4. QC & Delivery: Frame-by-frame quality control, final render at full resolution, and delivery with VFX breakdown documentation.

What Makes Green Screen Unique

Green screen keying extracts subjects from chroma-key backgrounds and places them into new environments. We handle uneven lighting, spill suppression, edge refinement, and hair detail — the elements that separate a professional key from an obvious composite. Our keying pipeline uses Keylight, Primatte, and IBK gizmos in Nuke for broadcast-grade results. We also advise on set lighting before your shoot to ensure the cleanest possible pull. Turnaround is 1-2 days per shot for standard full-body keys, with batch pricing for 10+ shots. Deliverables include both the keyed footage with alpha and the final composite over your chosen background.

What You Receive

You receive: final composited shots in ProRes 4444/EXR, VFX breakdown reel, individual element passes (beauty, diffuse, specular, alpha), and project files.
