Green Screen - Does this look fake?

[scootermcq]

I picked up a green screen...

Please ignore pose etc, this was a down and dirty snap to play with the software.

Does this look like it was shot on green screen, or does it look real to you folks?

Looks good to me!

looks ok to me.
but your final has a red tint because you have a green colour cast in the original.

you just need to control the light properly, and set the white balance right

looks fantastic, wish i could do that haha

great work

Thanks guys. Yes, I need to work with the lighting a bit to stop picking up the reflection of the green. I am also limited with space, but I need to bring the model more forward, to help with that as well.

(or, did I make my wife angry? "Don't make me angry, you won't like me when I'm angry!")

It looks good but it seems like you lost a lot of edge definition. The edges look very blurry to me and a bit unrealistic. Is that because of feathering the edges?

I did soften the image slightly to give it more of a portrait look, I image some would come from cutting out the subject from the green screen. I don't see how you could ever get that 100% perfect.

I am using FXhome. If someone know of a better program, let me know please.

PS will pluck'er right off that green screen perfect everytime...

OK, here is SOOC, no touch up on these self portraits. All I have done is snap them and put them straight on the backdrop. I did play with the lighting a bit before choosing an image and managed to separate myself by another 1.5 feet from the backdrop, which seems to make a big difference.

Much better. It looks like it was shot on that background.
I'd say that you'd be hard pressed to tell it was shot on a green screen if you didn't say it was.
