If you’re looking for an easier, faster way to create your OWN videos without having to travel to a studio, consider building a green screen studio right in your own office! We have done this for a number of clients, and it allows them to conveniently harness the power of video. Even better, you can partner with a studio (like us!) and send them your raw footage to edit, optimize and post to the web.
Videos are an amazing tool for your website. One-third of all online activity is spent watching videos! What’s more, 26% of Internet users seek out additional information after watching a video. If you want to be seen by some of the 100 million people watching online videos every day, you should consider building your own studio.
If you are wondering where to start, we’ve put a list of essential items together, as well as links where you can purchase them. These are the tools you will need for lighting, shooting, audio, and actually getting the video from your camera to your computer. The total cost of building your own green screen studio can run you about $3,000-$4,000.
Create Your Own Green Screen Studio Using This Recommended Equipment
Camera
Your camera is the most important element in the finished product. We recommend: D7100 DSLR Camera |
Lens Your camera lens has a huge impact on your depth of field focus, detail, image quality, and how much light your camera will pick up. We recommend: 30mm f/1.4 DC HSM Lens |
Microphone
Don’t forget about a microphone! Poor audio quality can ruin a beautifully shot video. We recommend: Sennheiser ew 112-p G3 Lavalier Mics |
Tripod
A tripod is critical for stabilization to allow you to move the camera fluidly while filming. We recommend: Magnus VT-4000 Tripod System with Fluid Head |
Lighting
Good lighting is really important, as well. Dark, grainy videos are hard to see and can undermine your authority on a subject if the video quality is poor. We recommend: Flolight FL-110HMD Economy Fluorescent Video Light |
Green Screen
Finally, you’ll need to buy a green screen. In order for post-production edits to give you the look and feel you want for your video, a green screen is necessary. We recommend: TubeTape Green Screen and Support Stand |
