Casts a shadow on the ground with green screen images

Hello

I have pictures of green screen of a player market with a green screen. After the green screen overlay I want to cast a shadow of the object on the ground. Seems simple enough :-) I have tried everything I can think my green screen images like a layer 3D and then add lights, which appear to be rising shadows/light on the actor, but not cast shadows. Shadow a shadow directly behind the actor but no way to "move" it is on the floor.

If someone could provide guidance, I would be very happy.

Thank you

Hi bogiesan,.

Thanks for the help.

My film is shot with a green ground. The problem I have is that the final product must be an actor walking with a transparent background, but casts a shadow on the ground. So that the shaow displayed any context the customer decides to use the video with.

If I try to apply a drop shadow or a radial shadow the shadow BEHIND the actor not appear below. I must do this 10 times more difficult it must be.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks again,

Bob

I'm not enter the question, then, sorry. Just use the shade that you have captured. A chromakeyer to shadow is not difficult.

The problem with faking a shadow is, Yes, it is ten times more difficult than do in the original shooting because of all the problems we have discussed. There is no interaction with the feet with a layer of shadow and 3D projection is realistic enough to be accepted by an audience; It will still look fake. You CAN create a 3D shadow carefully placing a light in a 3D scene and place a copy of your matted character perpendicular to the light source and by setting the layer to cast the shadow only. But this is not always true.

  • Dolly zoom with green screen in the background

    I'm about to do a shoot with my subject based on a table with a green screen set directly behind. I recently decided that I wanted to do a cart in, to zoom back, but realized I might have a problem trying to get this effect of dizziness with a green screen and no real picture during shooting. Is it as simple as zoom in firing and then dolly by placing the image in later? Any help would be much appreciated.

    The Vertigo Alford Hitchcock effect is created by placing a leading player and then moving the camera to the actor while zoom you back to keep the actor of the same size in the frame.  Perspective is controlled by the position of the camera so that camera movements to the actor of the relationship between the actor and the substantive changes. You get all kinds of travel natural Parallax that awaits your eye. When you zoom while you move your brain does not expect the framing remains constant as the perspective moves. This gives you the effect of dizzying Vertigo.

    I tell you all this because if you want to remove this with a green screen, you have to shoot a background plate with the same or almost the same schedule as you shoot the Green screenshot.  Let's say you press down on the cart for four seconds and move 10 feet. During that four second dolly you zoom from 70 mm to 24 mm. To make the effect that you will need to choose something for a flat bottom which has enough geometry in the shot to give you perspective and Parallax changes and positioned the camera about the same distance from your player does not exist it would be if it was in the scene. You then the second even 10 feet and 70-24mm zoom 4 you made to operate the shooting in the studio. Just use a still image or a locked off camera shot like a bottom plate, you won't get the effect of strong "vertigo" you get hit for roll of shooting.  I discovered this the hard way when I shot a film about of 15 years who needed a dozen effect dizziness hits. I had to reshooting plates bottom about four times until we finally get to work. All other attempts just looked weird.

  • Deactivation of the charms and green screen on videos

    I have a laptop HP running Windows 8.  I followed the instructions on how to disable scrolling of the corner and the deactivation of the charms, but I still get the sidebar on the right/charms.

    Also, I can watch a few videos online, then no reason the screen turns green. I tried some stuff I've read online, but it is still ongoing. Someone said that I have to update the drivers, but I don't know how or where to do it.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi Jaishamil,

    Thanks for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

    If I understand correctly, you try to disable the charms bar and get a green screen by watching videos. I appreciate your time and patience.

    1. What is the model of the computer?
    2. What browser do you use to watch videos? Green screen is launched on other applications or programs as well?

    Try with another browser and see if it helps.

  • Followed footage - laptop that opens with green screen.

    I'm unable to find it in the traditional way I and Mocha isn't any help. Any ideas?

    Here are the images I'm trying to follow in AE:

    Laptop with the video track of green screen 3728252 - Shutterstock stock footage

    The images is simply done the wrong way. The author of it (this is a 3D rendering, of course) didn't know how to do it correctly. For this kind of thing you need a grid on the screen, not just markers or the person should have to provide details of its 3D program for example through cinema 4 d AEC export. Actually I just use a 3D layer and line it up with the images, and then hand animate what is what you have to do, anyway, for some parts. There is simply no good way to follow this with AE - 2D, 3D step. If a tool tip like 3D Equalizer could be able to buckle on the laptop using follow-up based on the geometry by defining the limits of the boxes, but I guess you can't save 50000 Euros for this work...

  • Bug in several windows in the finder with several screens

    When you use finder on several screens (with separate spaces) there is a problem when you enter fullscreen.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. open finder on a screen.

    2. open another window in the finder on a different view.

    3. full screen or finder window (any).  You will be able to observe a Visual problem where the finder window that you do not use maximizes and enters full screen then go back to normal, just before the finder window you use between full screen.

    4. at this point your finder window full screen is missing in the top navigation bar.  To reveal it, open your mission control and the space finder-click and you will see.  Basically, the navigation bar is on the finder space expanded while the rest of the finder is on office space.

    5a. If you try to exit the full screen, your finder window will freeze.

    5. before going back to full screen, if you go to the mission control and drag your space viewfinder on the screen where your other window finder is currently on, you will be able to leave the full screen and the finder window will not freeze.

    Cause of the error:

    Still, the problem occurs if the following conditions are met:

    -You have two or more finder windows (if you have only a window of finder, you can always expand it without any problem)

    -You maximize a window of finder, and it's the only finder window on that office space

    For example, if you have three screens and you have 2 1 1 finder windows in offices respectively, you will encounter the error when you maximize the window of the solitary finder on the monitors of 2nd or 3rd.  Maximize a window in the finder on the first monitor has no questions.

    Please try to reproduce.  I hope that it is easily reproduced on any machine and I hope this will be fixed as soon as possible.

    Hello

    Sounds like a screen resolution problem...

    • Click with the right button on a part empty your desktop, and then click Properties
    • Click on the settings tab
    • Move the resolution slider all the way to the right
    • It should choose the native resolution of your monitor
    • Click OK

    The native resolution of your screen are not selectable based on the ability of your graphics drivers. Updated drivers may solve this problem, but perhaps also that it will not.

  • How to create a button in the State with two different images?

    What I mean is... I have a picture that is conveyed as a button that has not been pressed, and I also have an image that expresses the same key but this time it is pressed. Is there a way to ensure that when the button is normal I seized the image of the button upward and then make sure that when I roll on or press the Enter key, the image of the button down?

    Thank you, Ben Charter

    Hi Ben,

    Just create a Menu and with the Normal State is selected, use the fill options to fill an image in the Menu item. Select the rollover / the mouse to the bottom of the State in the States Panel, then assign an image by using the options to fill again. This is a swap of base image using normals and States of Muse down mice.
