Green Screen Studios for Rent in Singapore

Green Screen Studios Rental Guide

If you want to bring another dimension to your video production, renting a green screen studio is a very good option. With a green screen, you can play around with creative features and insert your actor or product into any setting you wish. Green screens can be found in many different shapes in sizes, so you can find one that works best with what you’re trying to achieve. Whether you go for a simple backdrop or a proper colorama green screen, you will definitely be satisfied with the versatility that a well-lit green screen footage guarantees.

Whether you’re a part of a commercial production with actors, directors and a large crew, or just running a small project or show, you will definitely find what you want in Singapore. If you’re renting a production venue for the first time and find the process difficult, worry not! We at Tagvenue have the toolset to walk you through everything, from finding the type of studio you want, to renting it for the best price in a few simple clicks! If you’re not sure what to look for in a top notch green screen studio, here’s a list of elements you can use to compare them with each other:

• Type of green screen. Usually professional studios will use one of the three styles of green screen. First, there’s the simple backdrop. It utilises the space on one of two walls and it’s created either by painting the walls of the studio or using a special material that reduces light reflection, and therefore, distortion in the final footage. Another one is the colorama - a seamless material greenscreen that also stretches to the floor of the studio. You can also look for a green room, which will give you tons of flexibility, as the actors are pretty much surrounded by green screens from all angles.

• Lighting and additional gear. Even the most expensive of green screens won't deliver without good lighting. Usually, the studios will have all the lighting necessary for their green screen, but nice to check out what your studio has in store when it comes to cameras, cables, props, and other things you could use. You can even bring your own gear if this is a possibility in your studio of choice. Remember to ask all the important questions to the venue manager before you make your decision!

• Studio location. If there’s a large crew involved in your project, it’s a good idea to think strategically about the area in which you’re looking for green screen studios. When checking out different venues, you can find out the closest public transport connections and how close it is from different useful services, like music shops, caterings or restaurants. Usually the areas in southern parts of Singapore have the best connections and green screen studios are most commonly found there, too.

• Size of the space. Are you working on a personal project, or are you producing a commercial shoot? Depending on the amount of people you’re working with, you will have to get a studio with enough space to accommodate them. With our search filters you will be able to choose the minimal amount of space you’re going to need for all your filming endeavours.

4 things to remember when working with a green screen

• Use good lighting - Making sure the green screen is evenly lit is almost as important as having a green screen in the first place. While specialised green screen studios always have proper lighting set up, you should definitely test and adjust as you progress through the session. You don’t want to realise your footage looks wrong in editing, long after the recording ends.
• Have a concise plan - This means that you should envision exactly what feel you want to achieve with your scene. It is important to plan out how exactly you want to use your green screen and what purpose does it serve in the finished product. Thanks to that, you will be able to streamline the process of getting your scene or commercial finalised in a flash.
• Make the scene realistic - You can use different tricks and props in order to make your scene much more special. These will help you sell the effect of your green screen shot much better. For example, you can use fans to simulate a strong wind, or make a scene more dynamic. Check out different forums and tutorials to get inspired and use your green screen to the best of your abilities.
• Create an interesting backdrop - Whether you’re using visual effects, a video recording, or other techniques, it’s obviously important to edit something interesting into the background. This is also why making a plan is super important - you will probably have to record the footage or start working on VFX before the shoot even starts to make the whole process quicker and more efficient.
