Creating a Cheap Green Screen Studio

Written by Ron Desi on February 7, 2010 – 6:01 pm -

This post is a bit different from my normal posts regarding social media, personal branding, or leadership. However, the most watched video on my YouTube channel is when I created a test video with an infinite white background using a green screen. You can see it here.

I’ve gotten numerous emails asking how I setup my green screen. I finally had a chance to record a video showing my green screen “studio”. This is a really cheap and easy way to create “semi-pro” green screen effects.

All you need to set this up is:

  1. 3 clip-on shop lights available at Home Depot or Lowes ($7 each)
  2. 1 piece of at least 6ft x 12ft green fabric available at a fabric store (less than $20)
  3. 3 tripods or some other item that stands 4-6ft ($0 – $40 depending on what you may have around your house)

Here is how it is setup:

Finally, here is the video. Enjoy.
