Green Screen Services

Here is how this works in practice. We provide green-screen production services for clients filming in the Czech Republic, supplying chroma-key stages, lighting crews and the camera and grip support that clean keying demands. Successful green-screen work depends on even, controlled lighting, careful screen rigging and accurate exposure, and our gaffers and DPs plan the lighting setup so the matte holds cleanly through post. Barrandov Studios in Prague, one of Europe's largest and oldest studios, and Prague Studios offer large stages with the height and floor space green-screen work needs, along with the infrastructure for big builds. The Czech crew base is deep and worldwide skilled, trained in part at FAMU, and fluent in the on-set workflows that visual-effects-heavy shoots need.

Here is the short of it. Green-screen shooting in the Czech Republic connects directly to Prague's established visual-effects and post-prod sector, built around Barrandov and the country's decades as a European service-production hub. Studios such as UPP provide the compositing and finishing that green-screen footage feeds into, so a production can shoot and finish within the same ecosystem. International features and series shot at Barrandov — from 'Snowpiercer' to 'The Wheel of Time' — have relied on this skill.

Here is the breakdown. Productions drawn here by the Czech Film Fund's 20% cash rebate, administered by the Státní fond kinematografie, gain access to both the stages and the VFX talent. We set up the chroma-key shoot with the camera and lighting departments, integrate with virtual-production workflows where needed, and budget the work in Czech koruna with 21% VAT.
