Green screen dark band

[sebrame]

Just wondering what causes this dark band along the edge of the shirt in this frame grab. Shot with a DVX100A.

perhaps your lighting needs to be looked at more closely? Is it possible that you did not light the green screen separately are are suffering from shadows directly behind the subject?

It may also be possible, depending on the software used for the keying, that it removes the green while creating some sort of edge softening effect, which could result in a bit of a dark entourage.

I believe its beause you shot onto DV tape, and the colourspace conversions and format cause these, which can be handled fairly well by software that is set to handle DV stuff... The nature of the beast...

It may be due to the striped shirt. I have had some problems with certain striped or "textured" clothing leaving artifacts like this. Just a thought.

DVX sucks for greenscreening. If in a studio use DVRack/OnLocation for a slight improvement.
