Green Screen Services
Professional chroma key filming for VFX and compositing across Serbia.
Green screen filming uses chroma key backdrops to isolate subjects for compositing against virtual backgrounds, environments, or visual effects in post-production. This technique is fundamental to modern filmmaking, and Serbia—with Pinewood Serbia Studios in Belgrade, a 25-30% cash rebate, and English-speaking crews who've worked on Expendables 2 and The Outpost—has become a major European chroma key destination.
We coordinate green screen setups at Pinewood Serbia Studios in Belgrade (modern international-standard stages), Film City Zemun, and Avala Studios (historic facility with multiple stages and backlots). Our team sources cyclorama stages, portable backdrops, and the specialized lighting required for clean chroma key extraction, with direct handoff to Crater Studio, Loudworks Studio, Digital Cube, and Sense Production for full VFX, compositing, Dolby mixing, and 4K/HDR color grading.

On Location
Our Belgrade team delivers green-screen and chroma-key shoots on stage at PFI Studios near Simanovci, with even lit screens and clean plates engineered for compositing.
Here is how this works in practice. We deliver green-screen production as a VFX-aware shoot, because a clean key starts on set, not in post. From our Belgrade base we build green and blue screens that are evenly lit edge to edge, with the spill control, separation lighting and exposure discipline that compositors depend on. Our gaffers light the screen and the foreground separately so the subject reads cleanly. Our camera team captures the tracking markers, reference passes and lens data the VFX department needs.
Here is the short of it. For large builds we stage at PFI Studios near Simanovci, one of the largest complexes in the region, where cycloramas and full chroma stages can be lit and rigged precisely; for smaller jobs we install portable screens on location. We set up the shoot with the VFX supervisor, plan interactive lighting that matches the intended background, and deliver ordered plates with clear notes. Belgrade has a strong base of compositing and VFX talent. We connect productions with the post teams that finish the work, all supported by the cash rebate through the Film in Serbia programme.
Here is the breakdown. Serbia is a practical base for green-screen and VFX-led production because its industry has built real depth over a decade-plus of servicing global features and series. PFI Studios near Simanovci provides current stage space for large chroma builds. A short drive from Belgrade. The city has a growing pool of compositors, matte artists and VFX supervisors. English is widely spoken across the industry. This keeps joint work with overseas VFX teams straightforward.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Serbia operates on CET, one hour ahead of UK time, making shared working days easy. The 25 to 30 per cent cash rebate through the Film in Serbia programme of the Serbia Film Commission covers qualifying green-screen and post-prod spend, with the higher rate for larger-budget productions, making VFX-heavy projects cost-good. ATA carnets cover temporary import of any expert screens, tracking systems or camera kit a production brings, and Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport keeps the city well connected for watched shoots and post sessions.
FAQ
Chroma Key Expertise
Do you provide green screen studios?
Yes, we partner with Pinewood Serbia Studios in Belgrade (modern international-standard stages), Film City Zemun, and Avala Studios (historic facility with multiple stages and backlots)—from interview setups to large cyclorama stages.
Can you set up green screens on location?
Yes, we provide portable green screen solutions including pop-up backgrounds, fabric screens, and mobile lighting packages. We can create chroma key setups in almost any Serbian location with proper space and power.
What about blue screen vs green screen?
We work with both green and blue screens depending on your requirements. Blue screen is often preferred for blonde hair or scenes with green elements. We advise based on your specific compositing needs and VFX pipeline.
How do you ensure clean keys?
Clean keys require even lighting on the background, proper separation from talent, spill control, and attention to edge quality. Our Serbian teams bring international production experience to every chroma key setup.
Do you coordinate with VFX supervisors?
Yes, we work closely with your VFX team—in-house or at Serbian facilities like Crater Studio, Loudworks Studio, Digital Cube, or Sense Production—to capture tracking markers, reference photography, HDRIs, and clean plates.
What resolution and formats do you support?
We shoot green screen in formats up to 8K depending on camera selection. We ensure footage meets the resolution and codec requirements of your post-production pipeline with 4K/HDR color grading available.
