In a nutshell, compositing is the combination of separate visual elements in post-production. Generally the goal of compositing is to make all the individual elements look like they’re a part of the same scene. In production, we call the live action shots we plan to composite either green screen, blue screen or chroma key shots.
Compositing has become an integral part of the modern digital production process. Perhaps you want the flexibility of shooting an interview or standup against a backdrop that can be easily changed. Maybe you’re looking to create a fully virtual set that your subject can move through and interact with. You may even be looking to create a complex visual effects sequence with both practical and digital elements combined into a seamless finished product (see our music video for The Armory’s “Burn The City Down”). No matter how simple or ambitious your vision, ECG Productions has the skill and the experience necessary to execute your concept and bring it to the screen.
