Green Screen Services

Here is how this works in practice. We set up green screen setups for VFX and compositing, sourcing cyclorama stages, portable backdrops and the with care balanced lighting that clean chroma key extraction depends on. Our team plans the screen — even lighting, correct spill control, the right distance between subject and backdrop — so the keyer has the cleanest possible matte to work from.

Here is the short of it. Malta's distinctive advantage is the studio infrastructure at Malta Film Studios, where indoor stages sit alongside two large water tanks, allowing green screen work to combine with controlled aquatic filming for marine and period shoots in a way few facilities can match. We handle stage booking, grip and lighting packages, and the data workflow on set, then arrange direct handoff to post houses including Malta Film Studios Post and KRS Film Services for DI, grading and specialty water-based VFX. The compact production community here means picture, sound and VFX partners all sit within a short radius.

Here is the breakdown. Malta Film Studios, founded in 1964 as Mediterranean Film Studios, is one of the reasons shoots choose the island for effects-heavy work. Its water tanks — among the world's largest. This includes a horizon tank with an uninterrupted sea horizon — gave 'Gladiator', 'Troy', 'Captain Phillips' and 'World War Z' their controlled environments, and the same backlots and indoor stages support green screen and chroma key filming today. The island's deep, English-speaking crew base, built over a century of global shoots since the 1920s, means VFX-aware grip and lighting teams are readily ready.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. As an EU and Eurozone member with the euro and predictable 18% VAT, Malta keeps effects budgets stable, and a cash rebates of up to 40% on eligible expenditure — administered by the Malta Film Commission — keeps stage time, crew and VFX finishing within the qualifying spend a production can recover.
