Top Features to Look for in a Green Screen Space
How can you find a green screen studio that matches all your requirements? Be sure to keep an eye out for the following key factors when choosing a space.
Equipment is a bonus. First and foremost, the best green screen studio for you is one that has all the equipment you need for your production. As well as a green screen backdrop, that could include a blue screen, a recording studio setting, post-production facilities, a sound stage, professional lighting, and more.
A helpful host must be a requirement. A green screen studio provides a controlled environment for your shoot, so it's vital that you can tailor it exactly to suit your needs—that's where a friendly and experienced studio manager is a big bonus.
Location is key. The best green screen studio for you will be one that's easy for your cast and crew to get to, potentially with private parking, and also simple to access with any heavy camera gear and lighting equipment.
An excellent price means a lot. Independent filmmakers and big Hollywood production offices all know the importance of saving money shooting film projects, so only ever consider venues that you can reasonably afford.
Advantages of Renting a Green Screen Space
There are lots of good reasons why a green screen studio rental can help elevate your production, but there are also a few reasons why you might opt not to film on a green screen stage.
Advantages
-
A green screen allows you to create all manner of creative backdrops and special effects for your production through chroma keying—this is thanks to the fact that the green backdrop doesn't match human skin tones.
-
The best studio space locations offer superior lighting conditions and all the equipment you need for a high-quality finished product.
-
Many studios also have on-site post-production facilities to help you add the finishing touches to your project.
Disadvantages
-
Some filmmakers prefer the realism of on-location shoots to the manufactured setting that green screens and chroma key compositing provide.
-
The best green screen production spaces are highly sought-after, so expect lots of competition when trying to book the venue you want.
-
High-end green screen studios are costly to hire, so you may need to increase your production budget.
Planning Your Green Screen Shoot
There's a long list of important tasks you need to complete when planning a green screen production, so use the checklist below to remember your key jobs.
Develop Your Vision – You need to have a clear goal in mind of what you want to achieve aesthetically and creatively. What scenes or shots do you want to capture, and what mood will they inspire in your audience?
Calculate Your Budget – Open your phone's calculator app and tally up your predicted expenses—is the total an affordable spending limit?
Choose a Green Screen Studio – Compare green screen studios on the Giggster app to find your perfect space.

Hire Cast and Crew – Actors, models, camera operators, photographers, lighting specialists, make-up artists—now is the time to book in everyone you need for your shoot.

Saving Money on a Green Screen Shoot
Don't blow your budget on your next production—use the tips below to ensure you don't leave too much of a dent in your bank balance.
Be realistic with spending.
While there's nothing wrong if you want to dream big, you also need to be realistic about how much you can comfortably afford to spend on a project without getting into a deep financial hole.
Shop around for the best space.
Don't settle for the nearest green screen space you find; shop around to find one that not only has all the features and equipment you need, but that also comes with an affordable price tag. Green screens on the Giggster app start from as little as $20/hour.
Work on multiple projects.
If you have more than one project on the go, try and get a couple of them done with the rental of the space. You may save by doing this as you won't have additional green screen scouting time and crew members will already be on hand.
