Screen replacement is a very common VFX need for projects.
Most commercials, movies, and TV shows don’t have the video or graphics actually playing on the screen when they’re shot.
Often because they’re not done yet, and sometimes because it just doesn’t look great because of reflections and lighting.
There are several steps to make it look good that you might not have considered, but with a little practice you’ll have it mastered!
