But I do not know which node I should use. I’ve tried to do some combination of flare and glow. but it is not good by a long shot.

is there anyone out there who have a idea how to make it look good, then I appreciate the help

Best clothing colour to shoot against green screen?

I was just wondering because one or two of my costumes that my extras will be wearing are entirely white. Its essential that they wear these costumes.

My question is, I’ll be using the green screen. But should I try to shoot on a blue screen instead? Or have the background entirely black to pull a matte from it?

I know that in Alice in wonderland they shot most of the scenes using the greenscreen and a good amount of the actors had white on. What should I do??

Day for Night – Bachelor Thesis References

Hey everyone!

I am currently thinking about writing my bachelor thesis about day for night shots in the film / movie / commercial industry.

That in mind I wanted to ask you if you know any films / movies / commercials like Cast Away, La nuit américaine, … that use that technique?

I already found some day for night topics in here but none of them actually
pointed to any major projects using it.

Every single reference would help me out…

Thanks!
