Ever wondered what happens when amazing longboard dancing meets Videoleap? Let's find out! In this project, I had the honor to work with the talented skater, Terry the Elf. You can check out her Instagram in the description below, along with a link to the full video. In this chapter, we're going to explore the chroma effect in a more unusual way to understand the endless possibilities of this feature. We’ll create a scene of a skater wearing a green suit and play visuals on it.
To shoot this scene, you'll need:
Indoor Shooting: Enables full control over the lighting, making it easier to manipulate the green suit to look good and bright.
Outdoor Shooting: Best on cloudy days to create even, less contrasting shadows and highlights.
Always ensure the light is in front of the character, not behind, to avoid dark silhouettes and maintain green suit details.
Ensure the green suit fits well on the actor’s body—wrinkles and loose areas can ruin your shot. Watch out for green areas like plants in your frame, as they will also be affected by the chroma effect.
Sample settings for a six-second clip:

Finally, make sure to mute unnecessary audio to focus solely on the visual impact.
In just a few taps, you’ll have a surreal skating scene, perfect for music videos or any kind of surreal setting. Download Videoleap, try it for yourself, subscribe, like, share, and remember: you won’t believe the videos you can create!
