Case Study: Masterwork Films UK Achieves Flawless Chroma Keying with ChromaLight – Now Easier to Access in the UK!
Introduction:
Masterwork Films, a dynamic film production company based in the UK, is committed to producing high-quality visual content. Achieving seamless visual effects relies heavily on a pristine chroma key setup. When co-founder Biro Florin planned their studio build, selecting the right chroma key paint was a critical decision to ensure top-tier results, especially when paired with their advanced keying hardware, Blackmagic Design’s Ultimatte systems.
The Challenge: Finding Broadcast-Quality Paint in the UK
Initially, the Masterwork Films team faced a significant hurdle. While their sophisticated keying technology demanded a highly accurate and uniform chroma key surface, finding a paint that met their exacting standards within the UK market proved difficult. They needed exceptional colour fidelity and luminance consistency for the clean, artifact-free keys required for professional broadcast and film work.
The Solution: Importing ChromaLight for Uncompromising Quality
Refusing to compromise, Masterwork Films expanded their search internationally, leading them to ChromaLight. Recognizing ChromaLight’s specialized formulation, designed specifically for digital keying, and its reputation for excellence, they made the strategic decision at the time to import the paint directly. This underscored their commitment to investing in the best tools for a superior final output.
The Results: “The Best Green Screen Paint For Us!
The implementation of ChromaLight paint delivered precisely the results Masterwork Films was seeking. The perfectly smooth, uniform, and highly saturated green surface enabled clean, precise keys with their Blackmagic Ultimatte systems, significantly simplifying their post-production process and elevating the quality of their visual effects work.
Biro Florin, Co-founder of Masterwork Films, confirms their satisfaction:
“We couldn’t find this in the UK at the time, so we had to import ChromaLight paint for the best results when keying with our BMC Ultimattes – the best green screen paint for us!”
