I was using a TV screen as a backdrop back before the family bought our first color TV in 1967. Back then homes didn't have a VCR or computer or internet. I'd had to get everything set up before the show then shoot quick when an appropriate scene came on.
It's is so funny that you post this. About 2 months ago, me and my son started shooting a star wars stop motion series with his Legos, and the first thing we did was set up a TV as the background like "The Volume". We even used motion to simulate flying through space, entering atmosphere, etc. The whole rig is set up right behind me as I type this. We eventually plan on using a game engine to build digital sets that we can animate along with our frames to simulate grander environments. I knew I couldn't be the only one, but it's still cool to see you post this.
I'm surprised you didn't mount the TV on a wheeled stand. If you put it on an articulating mount, you could wheel it to where ever you want, change the angle, and be set up in seconds.
it's videos like this that make me want to completely reshoot all my b-roll. what a great job on this and such an awesome idea. I love everything about this. Nice job.
Basically it's a miniature video wall which is currently used in movie productions. I have used my monitor as my background for miniature photography for many many years and now they are using the same concept in video production too.
Me too! I took some photos of Funko Pops with my monitor as the background and loved the look! I never did "build it out" to try it for other things like this. Glad to see it's so effective.
This same method was used for Westworld and The Mandalorian instead of the typical green screen method. Mainly due to the fact they are LEDs so when bright enough they give off accurate ambient light and reflection so that CGI/models are easily mixed in and the actors look like they are in the same environment.
yup yup. inclusion of the stormtrooper kinda gives away dude's inspiration; not gonna watch the whole thing but i wonder if they cite that influence...
Such an awesome video! I've played around with using a projector as a background scene, but absolutely love this idea of laying the TV down as a table top! Dude - you're awesome
I needed to have a playground as a background for a product photo. Well with winter in Canada that wasn't possible to do it practically so I was inspired by the volume from the Mandalorian and did similar similar to your setup. I used a very old TV that was passable for some static shots. I never thought to put the product right on the display. That's a great idea.
There's a youtube channel (Tech Connections) that has a set which looks like RGB lighting behind cube shelving. But it's just done with TV panels so it very, very simple to setup and control compared to proper lights!
Doing this with unreal engine and attaching a VR controller to your camera and linking that remote to the camera in unreal could potentially create some REALLY cool results. Latency would be the biggest potential issue. But assuming the movements aren’t really snappy I think it would totally work. That parallax would go a super long way
This is exactly what me and my son plan on doing. We started using a screen as a background the moment we started producing a stop motion series, and we're already thinking about game engines. The TV alone opened up massive capabilities. I can't imagine what a game engine could do.
for 13:06 Viewing angles: This depends on the display panel of your TV. Most displays use IPS or TN panels. IPS panels are known for retaining contrast and color accuracy at wider viewing angles. TN panels are not (however are usually the more cost conscious choice). So if you are buying a cheaper TV, you will probably have a TN panel, in which you will have to find compromise in your shot angles. Most tv's include this in the specifications, so choose accordingly. (OLED and higher end tv's are not applicable to this.)
A few thoughts I have on this idea When you’re controlling the lighting in this way, you can definitely mess with the lights so that the brightness of the foreground subject looks like it’s in the environment that the background on the TV has. However, you may find that you have a situation where you need everything to be very bright in the front and you can’t necessarily get the TV to give you what you want. In these cases, are used to do some stage Video screens where we would actually dim the screens down very far in order to make it look more realistic. The issue being that a TV is more emitted of than an actual item typically is. So sometimes you’re gonna want the imagery on the screen to be dim and almost washed out to match the way things look in the actual environment. The second thought I have is that if you’re using moving footage on your TV, it might make sense to get a second TV and have it on the Camera side of whatever item you have. If you then flip the footage and plan on that TV you may find that you can get matching highlights on the front of the subject in the foreground so that it seems more like it’s in the environment. Finally, there may be situations where you can’t quite get the depth of field that you want. I would suggest not being shy about pre-blurring the image that you put on your screen. This can help simulate depth of field and Boca if you can’t get it with the lenses that you have.
Me and my son started doing this a couple months back for a stop motion we're shooting, and we've come up with a lot of the things you've mentioned here. In particular, with static backgrounds, we use photoshop to dim the background or adjust the colors to our physical foreground when we need to (using sawdust as "sand" for example, requiring the background to be color corrected) , or add blur when the in-camera DOF isn't right. We also set up my laptop screen as an ambient light generator using the same photos, but reversed. By dimming the background in photoshop, we can use longer exposures to collect more of the ambient light to give nice matching highlights. It's so cool to see a video of this being posted so soon after we decided to do the same, and even cooler to see others recommending many of the techniques we came up with. Having been self-taught with all of this stuff, it's validating to know I'm on the right track with some of these techniques that were a breakthrough for me, but likely well established for people who do this sort of work.
@@NautilusGuitars That's very cool! I hope you and your son are having a great time! Hearing what you've done causes me to have a couple more ideas that you might be interested in: 1) Instead of stills, you could try a moving background, but since you're doing stop motion, do stop motion to the video, i.e. run it one frame at a time as well! 2) Have you thought about shooting your own background plate, and then using that? Either still or moving? In fact, you could do a stop motion video, and then use THAT for the background of the next layer! This could also lead to parallax movement (and you could blur layers different amounts to emphasize this), or other storytelling options, if you change focus from one layer to another! Sounds like you and your son are having fun, you should consider posting your results on RUclips and sharing them here!
@@EliotHochberg Thank you so much! We are indeed having a blast, and plan on doing a whole series. It's a Lego Star Wars thing, since he had several nice Lego sets and a story outline in mind. Plus, it gave me an excuse to buy more Lego sets myself haha. And it's a nice way for my son to build creative skills, and hopefully learn a lesson about dedication. We will be posting it here very soon and I'd love to share the link with you. Very short and imperfect for now, but we're hoping to do longer and more polished episodes. 1) We actually did just that! The first scene is a Y-wing with a parallax star field, then entering the planet we used footage from mars rover landing simulations. We even used a bit of camera motion. A bit sloppy now, but we plan on building tracks and stuff to get nice motion control. Just bought a remote trigger for the cam too so our shots are more stable for this. 2) We did shoot static clean plates, but that was mostly for wire/rig removal. We have a really wide aerial shot in mind that will require pre-shooting the physical background, and I considered just compositing the subject, but why do that, when I can do what you recommended! That scene would be a perfect scene to do that with, instead of trying to replicate the camera motion or composite in software. I can just shoot the background, then rig the subject in front of that scene on the TV! Some of our upcoming scenes will need active backgrounds, and pre shooting that for display on the TV is an excellent idea! Thank you for the ideas and for the interest! Hopefully I'll be posting the video this week. I'll drop a link to it here when I do! And I'll give you credit when we use that technique!
@@EliotHochberg Got the video posted! It's imperfect for sure, but with the new goodies we got for shooting it, they will get better and better. ruclips.net/video/RbYR_4PeVbw/видео.html
@@NautilusGuitars nice work! If I would make one suggestion, it would be to look at your audio levels. It’s a truism I learned a decade or more ago, but actually the most important part of video is audio. Your audio works really well when they’re in the cockpit, but when they land on the planet it’s kind of hard to hear. Otherwise, it’s really neat!
The flicker is called PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) by the way. Camera settings can also be used to avoid this flicker, if there's real requirement for a certain brightness.
Also there are "Sync Boxs" for around $50+ use LED strips to synch/replicate the TV's color and help add to the surrounding light for more immersion of the subject.
This is incredible! 😍 A quick thought - how about using a mirror at an angle over the subject? In a way reflecting back the image from the TV and using it as an ambient light source, that's basically the actual image used in the background? Wouldn't that create a universal color ambiance?
This is so nice. A few weeks ago i saw some virtual studios with unreal engine and stuff like that. I thought to myself "it can't beat a virtual studio with thousands of dollars on equipment, but can i get something similar for my small home setup, maybe a TV?" But i did not try it. Now i can see some nice footage of that as a great background/underground. Thank you so much
Just started doing it a couple months ago for a stop motion with my son, and it's been an incredible tool that takes our project from a bedroom hobby, to a full on mini cinematic production.
Virtual production is so hyped right now, it's easy to forget that most of the rear-projection techniques we're talking about have been around since before computers. Thank you for this video. Every time I think I need to buy a gen-lock camera and a $5k tracking system, I find a video like this and go, "Oh yeah. This is all just rear projection. I can accomplish the same results with way less technology and a little more effort." And that's not even to mention old school camera tracking and compositing for green screen. Is virtual production super exciting? Absolutely. But I think for me it's just a distraction from good storytelling.
I've been doing this for a year now, I have a 55" set up on a wheeled stand in the studio room. RUclips is really useful for animated backdrops. The technique is even more effective for glass items. My main camera PC is set up in dual monitor mode with the TV as the second monitor, I run RUclips full screen on it.
Great video from you! Really enjoy it! Moire is inevetable, as TVs pixels interfere with Bayer CFA on sensor. Even phone screens do moire on digital cameras.
Caleb, your videos are always amazing. This one no exception. On point, thoroughly researched and explained. Thank you for the time, thoughts, and work you put into it. Amazing results.
Just when you know it all. Caleb takes it all to another Level. Thank you for such an AMAZING tutorial on how to level up our footage and b-roll shots. I'm continually impressed by your creativity and ingenuity.
Love your hacks and creativity Caleb! 💪🏽 We’re using a 4K projector with a 120” ALR screen with 2x Amaran F22 c for corporate webinars and our social/RUclips videos and it makes life so easy! Had to switch on variable frame rate on a7 IV to remove banding. Works like charm using an Apple TV. Only tried a fast 35mm lens but after watching your demos 50mm might be worth testing for more background compression. One thing that I noticed is some background photos needed to be photoshopped to increase blur for sections that are relatively more distant. Equal blur looks weird with images that are meant to have depth. Thanks for sharing these ideas!
Amazing work , thank you so much for sharing and enriching the creator community! There’s so much to gain by sharing ideas, Thank you and amazing work!
This is a GREAT idea. A friend of mine has to shoot a video in a supermarket but he can only get access when they are restocking 2-4AM and needless to say he is having trouble getting cast and crew. So, I think if he can do your TV setup with a quick 30 second loop... he may be able to greenscreen the talent and combine in post. What do you think?
Great minds think alike. I was actually setting up to do this about a week ago. Now you've gone and done it before me. Great video. You have taught me a lot over the years and it is very much appreciated.

TV as a table top just blew my mind! Now I want to turn a TV into a coffee table.
Wasn't that done many many years back?
You need a ip68 TV 📺 hh
Do it!!!!
Do not spill your coffee. So, I can't try this.
It would make the most insane board game table!
I'm surprised you didn't mount the TV on a wheeled stand. If you put it on an articulating mount, you could wheel it to where ever you want, change the angle, and be set up in seconds.
You know Caleb’s next project is going to be a 3-tv mini volume with everything on arms and a cart :) or at least I’d like to see that!
Haha! You're right. I do have it on a rolling desk. Vesa could work but it might be a bit much to handle rotating it alone.
I didn't know you follow Caleb, not too surprised though lol
huge
you must be new here
