Green screen vs LED wall: which solution should you choose for your shoot?

Green screen is a filming technique that involves filming subjects in front of a uniform green surface, which is then replaced in post-production with a digital background.

​

Advantages of the green screen

• great creative freedom in post-production

• filming costs are often lower

• solution adapted to complex visual effects

​

Green screen constraints

• The set was invisible during filming

• strong dependence on post-production

• risks of artifacts (clipping, hair, transparencies)

• Limited interaction between the participants and the set

 

Green screen remains a relevant solution for certain projects, but requires a high level of technical expertise in post-production.

The LED wall relies on the use of LED walls that display digital scenery visible directly to the camera.

The set design is an integral part of the filming and immediately influences the image, the lighting, and the performances of the actors.

​

At Immersive Studios, the LED wall is deployed in an LED wall studio designed for professional video capture.

Visible or invisible decoration

• Green screen: a set that is invisible during filming

• LED wall: decor immediately visible in the image

 

Camera rendering

• Green screen: final result heavily dependent on post-production

• LED wall: rendering validated in real time

 

Interaction of stakeholders

• Green screen: imaginary interaction with the set

• LED wall: real interaction with the visual environment

 

Post-production

• Green screen: heavy and unavoidable post-production

• LED wall: simplified and more predictable post-production

The comfort of the participants is an often underestimated criterion.
Against a green screen, the talents have to imagine their environment, which can complicate their camera gaze and performance.

​

With an immersive LED stage , participants see the setting, understand the space and integrate into it naturally.

This promotes:

• a more accurate perspective

• a smoother game

• a better posture in the image

Green screen recommended for:

• complex visual effects

• unrealistic or fully animated environments

• projects requiring a great deal of freedom in post-production

 

LED wall recommended for:

• corporate filming

• broadcasts and interviews

• filmed events

• live or semi-live formats

• content requiring immediate realistic rendering

 

👉 For these uses, renting an LED studio is an effective and secure solution.

With the LED wall, the final result is visible from the start of filming.

This allows:

• to limit uncertainties

• to validate the image with the teams and clients

• to reduce late returns in post-production

 

Green screen , on the other hand, postpones many decisions until after filming.

There is no universal solution.

The choice between a green screen and an LED wall depends on:

• of the type of project

• of the overall budget

• deadlines

• the desired level of control over the final output

 

At Immersive Studios, we support productions in choosing the most coherent solution, without technological dogmatism.

Immersive Studios provides an LED wall studio and immersive LED sets adapted to the real constraints of audiovisual production.

​

Our approach is based on:

• image quality

• the readability of the message

• the efficiency of the filming
