Green Screen Services
Professional chroma key filming for VFX and compositing across Iceland.
Green screen filming uses chroma key backdrops to isolate subjects for compositing against virtual backgrounds, environments, or visual effects in post-production. This technique is fundamental to modern filmmaking and a practical complement to Iceland's legendary natural locations, as seen in Game of Thrones, Interstellar, Prometheus, and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
We coordinate green screen setups at Saga Studios in Reykjavik, Lava Studios, and RVK Studios. While Iceland's studio infrastructure is smaller than mainland Europe, our team sources portable green screens, cyclorama rigs, and the specialized lighting required for clean chroma key extraction, with direct handoff to Truenorth Post, Sögur Post Production, Kukl Effects, and Hljóðriti Sound for compositing, color grading, and finishing. Iceland's 25% cost reimbursement applies to qualifying spend.

Chroma Key Expertise
Do you provide green screen studios?
Yes, we partner with Saga Studios in Reykjavik, Lava Studios, and RVK Studios. Iceland's studio infrastructure is smaller than mainland Europe—most productions combine studio chroma key work with Iceland's famous natural locations.
Can you set up green screens on location?
Yes, we provide portable green screen solutions including pop-up backgrounds, fabric screens, and mobile lighting packages. We can create chroma key setups in almost any Icelandic location with proper space, power, and weather contingencies.
What about blue screen vs green screen?
We work with both green and blue screens depending on your requirements. Blue screen is often preferred for blonde hair or scenes with green elements. We advise based on your specific compositing needs and VFX pipeline.
How do you ensure clean keys?
Clean keys require even lighting on the background, proper separation from talent, spill control, and attention to edge quality. Our Icelandic teams understand these requirements and set up specifically for successful compositing.
Do you coordinate with VFX supervisors?
Yes, we work closely with your VFX team—in-house or at Icelandic facilities like Truenorth Post, Sögur Post Production, or Kukl Effects—to capture tracking markers, reference photography, HDRIs, and clean plates.
What resolution and formats do you support?
We shoot green screen in formats up to 8K depending on camera selection. We ensure footage meets the resolution and codec requirements of your post-production pipeline, with Iceland's 25% cost reimbursement applying to qualifying spend.
