This is important stuff for me since I'm gonna be working on making music videos with my band in the very near future. Backgrounds are one of the most annoying things to get right in media, but luckily we have cool people to give us cheap alternatives.
-Get something black. You know, black black. Dark. Like a good backing. Now you don't need something professional either, some fabric at your local crafts store will do just fine.
-Get that stuff on the wall. You need to make it large enough to fit the camera's frame. Otherwise, well, it's not so infinite anymore, and you lose a lot of the cool factor.
-Lighting lighting lighting. This is pretty hard to do well, but fear not! You don't have to break the bank to make it look good. Although you will have to experiment on where to place your lights and what to do about natural light sources. You'll get it right eventually.
More filming effects to know are always fun, and it really motivates me to do some film making. I feel inspired by these little life hacks.
It's always a good idea to be prepared to spend some money though. It's not like any of this can get done well for dirt cheap. But if you're making a cool music video a short movie, chances are the end product will be well worth the value.
So does this technique work as well with white?
