[QUOTE="wud, post: 225905, member: 13578"] I used to work as light tecnician/VJ for a band, now they asked me to do an image for a cover - them leaving a exploding house, carrying their equipment (jezz, couldn't you think of anything just a little more challenging, lol). The exploding house we will buy from Stock Photo, and then do the band members one by one, in front of a green backdrop in the studio. I can read, its important to 1: get light on the green backdrop so it will be as easy as possible extracting the guys, and 2: do the lighting with the final image in mind, so it will look real. Thinking to use 4 lamps in the studio, 2 lighting the green backdrop from each side, and then 2 lamps from behind the band member, each side, as if there really were an exploding house, this would be where the light would come from, right? But I guess I need to be careful not to get the light to straight towards the camera? And what about shadows? Is this done in PP or should I have this in mind too, when doing the studio pictures? What do you think about this setup, and do you have any other tips?? I only tried green backdrop once, and didn't succeed very well.... (At the same time, we'll do a headshot of everybody (some I want to do), so if the above fails, I can use those). [/QUOTE]
