This is what a first green screen integration should look like.
In this shot, Suelen Rebello from Alpha Chromatica took a raw green screen plate and turned it into a believable, grounded scene.
She started with the fundamentals:
removing the tracking markers cleanly,
building a virtual background that felt photographic,
and matching the colours so the subject never popped out of the frame.
Then came the harder parts.
Hair details
Edge transparency
The wine glass
Preserving refraction and subtle see-through distortion instead of flattening it into a cutout.
She didn’t stop at the composite.
She relit the actress to match the background’s luminance and contrast, letting the light do the integration work instead of forcing it with grades.
And this matters:
this was her first time doing a shot like this.
This is what students at Alpha Chromatica are learning to tackle.
P.S. Did you notice the rain outside?
