Green screen hire in our north Manchester studios

Both the studio’s infinity cove and shooting wall are left white, as most of our clients prefer this as a backdrop. However for a repainting fee of £75 (and a further £75 to paint it back to white) the cove can be altered to any colour including green or blue screen for FX work.

There are various considerations for a shoot requiring green screen;

* The exact colour rgb value of the colour of paint you’ve chosen, in the case of green screen effects the value should be 255 green.

* The lighting is the key issue in effective green screen compositing. We have found the (diffused) lights we offer (see equipment) are adequate to correctly light the cove.

You will also need to consider the final software used to create the composite of the subject and the new background.

Galleon Studios have worked in the industry as Galleon Productions for many years. As we offer available assistance when required we encourage you to “pick our brains” regarding your potential green screen project. With our post production experience we can also advise the best software to complete the green screen effects work you begin in our studio.

Presenting our portable green screen! Ideal for fast and affordable green screen work.  No need to pay the repainting fee; simply hang the curtain, attach the light ring to the lens of the camera (2 available) and shoot away!

Whether you use the portable background or paint the cove you can rent a preview monitor and ChromaKey box that allows you to view the key as you record.  You can use it to test your virtual background with the subject added in.
