I am looking to take the dive into video. I will be doing a weekly automotive podcast and would like to make a "set" for the podcast.
I would like to make it look as good as possible. Rather then having a bunch of computers in the shot (Sorry Andrew) I would like it to look more like a "TV" set.
Does anyone here do anything like that? Could you give me some tips on creating a set without spending thousands?
Get a green screen. That is one of the cheap and easy ways. Making it look good is more difficult though.
I am in the same process myself Paul.
Maybe. Personally, I'm not fan of green screen.Quote:

Then again, I have 20+ years of broadcast production experience, including many years of shooting & editing using Ultimatte & Spectrakey systems. I may be too picky.
That's one of the reasons I stated that making it look good is more difficult. However, it is not impossible, as you likely know.
