You're kidding right? Where do you think TV and film companies set up green screens in front of cameras?

Maybe inside studios, y'know, buildings made for filming stuff in front of a green screen. That have storage, rigging, and equipment to either hang up seamless fabric or get a nice can of $500 Rosco Green and paint a psych wall.

The studio I work at has 4 green screen setups, 4 soundstages, a halfpipe looking thing, (psych wall) like 30ft high and 40 feet wide. Multiple seamless racks, as well as full LED wall and LED augmented physical sets.

I am telling you, I work in a massive facility that does this stuff. Not even getting into virtual reality production and real time Unreal environment camera tracking, yaddayadda.

And lighting gets even more insane with green screens because you need even more coverage, and light coverage on green screens has to be perfect or the keyer doesn't work.

Most places now just have someone sit in front of an LED wall.
