Just viewed your group shot of the high school wrestling team, and love it…..But really the best part is yourexplanation and teaching ability…..Thank you….But, what camera and lens are you using to get such sharp images?

thanks for sharing your experience.

Nice work Dave,

I’ve used green screen for event stuff, but never thought of using it to solve the problem of being able to do team photos with only part of a team available at a time. That’s going to make life good!

Thanks!
Merv.

Brent,

Yes, I had the lighting setup and had each wrestler make several poses. I had no idea how I would arrange them until I got back to the computer.

Did you take 3 shots of each wrestler all with the same lighting? (left, right, front) I didn’t know if you predetermined the positions or took 3 shots of each to choose from.

Awesome poster!

This is the John Carroll Wrestling team. It’s a high school located in Bel Air, MD.

This project turned out very well. I like this technique. Thanks for the post. By the way, I like the lightning version also.

Yo Gatorboy! I’d say “well done!”

This is exactly the type of project that benefits from careful execution of chroma-key. I’d say you nailed it.

I’m glad my posts on FM helped.
