Green Screen Services
Professional chroma key filming for VFX and compositing across New York.
Green screen filming uses chroma key backdrops to isolate subjects for compositing against virtual backgrounds, environments, or visual effects in post-production. This technique is fundamental to modern filmmaking, and New York—with Steiner Studios' 30 stages on 50 acres (the largest US studio complex outside Hollywood), a $700M annual state film tax credit, and Wildflower Studios adding 775,000 sq ft in Queens—has one of the world's most robust chroma key ecosystems.
We coordinate green screen setups at Steiner Studios at the Brooklyn Navy Yard (largest stage 27,000 sq ft on the East Coast), Silvercup Studios, Kaufman Astoria Studios, and Broadway Stages. A new Sunset Park hub adds 8 more stages. Our team sources cyclorama stages, portable backdrops, and the specialized lighting required for clean chroma key extraction, with direct handoff to Picture Shop, PostWorks NY (2 Emmy sound awards), Harbor, The Post Crew, Nice Shoes, and String & Can for Dolby Atmos mixing, HDR color grading, and VFX.

Chroma Key Expertise
Do you provide green screen studios?
Yes, we partner with Steiner Studios (30 stages on 50 acres at Brooklyn Navy Yard, largest 27,000 sq ft on the East Coast), Silvercup Studios, Kaufman Astoria Studios, and Broadway Stages—from interview setups to massive cyclorama stages.
Can you set up green screens on location?
Yes, we provide portable green screen solutions including pop-up backgrounds, fabric screens, and mobile lighting packages. We can create chroma key setups in almost any New York location with proper space and power.
What about blue screen vs green screen?
We work with both green and blue screens depending on your requirements. Blue screen is often preferred for blonde hair or scenes with green elements. We advise based on your specific compositing needs and VFX pipeline.
How do you ensure clean keys?
Clean keys require even lighting on the background, proper separation from talent, spill control, and attention to edge quality. Our New York teams bring extensive feature and episodic production experience to every chroma key setup.
Do you coordinate with VFX supervisors?
Yes, we work closely with your VFX team—in-house or at New York facilities like Picture Shop, PostWorks NY, Harbor, Nice Shoes, or String & Can—to capture tracking markers, reference photography, HDRIs, and clean plates.
What resolution and formats do you support?
We shoot green screen in formats up to 8K depending on camera selection. We ensure footage meets the resolution and codec requirements of your post-production pipeline with Dolby Atmos mixing and HDR color grading available.
