LiteSets are virtual sets, designed to expand your capabilities as an editor, compositor, or producer. Virtual sets enable creative freedom by eliminating the common limitations of traditional sets by allowing an unlimited number of sets to exist in the same space. They allow the use of spaces much large than your studio; talent can be composited in the middle of a stadium, yet still be on a small greenscreen stage. Materials in virtual sets are also less costly; you can build with any material you want at equal cost. Lastly, virtual sets in the form of Litesets come turnkey, ready for work with no preparation time and at enourmously fractional cost to traditional sets. Consider, the base cost of this disco virtual set is $40, A real disco ball would cost much more than that.

So how does chromakeying a LiteSet work? Your talent or product is put on a blue or greenscreen stage, the stage is covered in blue or green cloth or paint. Then light with lots of even flourescent lighting to make sure there are no shadows. The talent must keep a good distance from the background to prevent from casting a shadow (which would not key out) and from getting color light spilling onto their shoulders.
Next, you film the talent using your camera and bring it into your nonlinear editor. If you are using a DV camera more consideration must be made when choosing a keyer, because of the poor keying quality of DV footage. A keyer like AdvantEdge or Ultra Key must be used to deal with the lost information due to the DV encoding process.
