Shadows on a green screen

Hello 🙂


Recently i saw a clip where the main character was dancing against a white background (i.e. green screen )


curiously there was a black silhouette of the same character kind of mimicking her- like shadow but not in sync. How do you achieve this effect?


many thanks,

you need two recordings:

Dance act #1 (could be done in front of an infinite white, or green screen)

Dance act #2.(has to be done in a green screen)


'Color correct' act#1 to be a black silhouette

use this as background for Dance Act #2 ....


=> elaborated effect, can not be accomplished in iMovie, asks for FCPX ... 😐 sorry to say...
