What do you get with the green screen studio hire?
Lighting is essential in creating a useable green screen and consequently here at Galleon Studios we include lighting in the hire cost even for dry hire. The green screen is pre-lit meaning it’s ideal to chroma key on from the get-go but if you need more help you can hire a lighting specialist to stay with you throughout your shoot. This gaffer can rig and set-up lights according to your requirements to ensure your green screen production is filmed perfectly on the day and ensure no post-production headaches.

The Live Keyer
Available to hire for an additional cost is the Live Keyer and if you already know what your background is then we encourage you to use it to preview your green screen as you film. This unique piece of kit takes an SDI or HDMI feed and matches it with your virtual background giving you the opportunity to view your final finished key. In this way the lighting can be altered to replicate your eventual background; need your subject to be stood in a field on a bright sunny day? Then Galleon can light the green screen studio with a bright “key light” in the exact position to match that of the sun in your background plate.
The green screen studios are also used for live streaming and virtual production; the keyer used to composite the virtual set and the studio location out to the world.
Not only is the live keyer an effective way of production companies seeing the final composited image it is a real wow factor if clients are on-site too; allowing them to see their green screen production project come to life. With our comfortable green room offering live monitoring your client and you can relax in stylish surroundings as you film.
What’s more production companies have access to a variety of green screen props and equipment are available either for hire or included in studio hire. These include a green screen treadmill, turntables, curtains, painted chromakey boxes and other useful items amassed from more than a decade of green screen filming experience at our Greater Manchester studios.
