I'd rather lower res footage of you.

Soft focus?

As we've got a thread for it already...

Has anyone done any non-background green screen work?

My kids are mucking around with OBS and my greenscreen but they want to do remove themselves and replace with something else.

I have no idea if OBS can deal with green and blue at the same time or whether money has to be spent or not.
They've got some dirt cheap green balaclavas and gloves etc and have done simple things like replace themselves with a human shaped fire but I think they want to go full Lucasfilm.

They will be bored with it in 6 months, so any suggestions for tutorials / multi-layered Green & blue etc that are free would be most welcome!

I've just found out how much proper chomakey gloves are...

£50. Just for the gloves.

More than that for hoods with mesh fronts for seeing etc.

Blimey!

@fretmeister my kids use Kinemaster for this and it seems amazingly capable and quick to do all that stuff.  Check it out.

Thank you!

Excellent find! Scrcpy.. Something that might come in useful for me!

Doubt there will be but is there any way to display it in landscape mode?

It matches how I hold my phone once unlocked so ya landscape or portrait

Anyone done one of those tiled screen vids with 1 person playing all the instruments type things?

Presumably the best approach for such a thing is to fully record the tune in a DAW and then effectively mime to it for as many parts as is needed?
Or would you actually film each DAW take as you did it?

Done it both ways.. better is to record each take as you do notice the synch issues miming.

fastonebaz

Yeah I've recorded each take them synced up each clip

fretmeister

Thank you.

I'll give it a go on some newer tunes.

I've got some older ones that I'm not re-recording just for a fun video and I'll have to mime for them, but I have some that I haven't recorded at all yet - I'll film them as I go.

I record the main audio DI to my DAW but also in the camera mic,  that helps me sync the videos up later once I've mixed the audio track
