Problem
The green screen extends behind the subject but not below the full frame, causing compositing problems when the camera reframes downward.
Solution
Root Cause / Diagnostic:
Tilting down or lowering the tripod pedestal reveals bare flooring or unpainted studio baseboards when the green surface terminates at waist level. The lack of green floor coverage causes hard matte cutoffs and missing extremities during downward tilt movements.
Actionable Fix:
1. Lock tripod tilt angle with mechanical fluid pan-head locks and set vertical tilt stops to prevent downward framing past the green margin.
2. Lay down matching chroma green vinyl flooring or fabric seamless extending at least 2 meters into the foreground studio floor.
3. Re-check the monitor framing with safe action/title guides turned on; ensure the lower border provides at least a 10% safety margin.
Pro Tip:
Use high-durability green chroma flooring tape along seams to blend horizontal floor panels seamlessly with vertical cyclorama walls.
