Basketball Composites

Latest project. These will be 36 by 60.

Looks nice!

Thanks, they picked them up yesterday. The first young lady stood behind it and all you could see was her eyes on up they're so big.

Different school and different look.

Green Screen, or did you cut all those out?

Great pics! Love the catch light in the eyes.

You do very nice work.

Thanks, they're all green screen composites.

Here's a couple more from another school I just delivered to. For what it's worth, boyfriend and girlfriend right here.

Very nice work! I just picked up a pop-up green screen to do some similar stuff.

It's fun and can be addicting, but somewhat time consuming.

Very nice! How do you make sure the GS has enough light to not have any dark spots, so the GS program has no problem? Especially with Girls hair! that is such a pain. Also what GS software do you use?

I just use Photoshop and hit the select, subject button, then contract by 3 pixels. Then I use the refine mask tool for the hair. After that I use the L tool to select or encircle the hair, put a 2-3 gaussian blur on it then I click on the subject and using a paint brush in color mode at 35% select a color in the hair and paint over the very edges of the the hair where any green screen might be showing.

For me, the compositing is thoroughly professional but what stands out in the excellent quality of the player portraits, notably the facial expressions. If teams are not using these for recruiting they are missing a big opportunity.

It's all small ball high school so not a lot of recruiting going on but thanks.
