Why We Make Our Own Backgrounds and Green Screens

Why We Make Our Own Backgrounds and Green Screens

     

  

One of the interesting things about being a content creator is that everything is always changing. YouTube’s rules and systems change often, and one change we’ve noticed is how much more limited good-quality backgrounds and green screens have become.

There was a time when creators had access to many usable green screens—simple, creative, and easy to work with. You could add rain, snow, sparkles, or movement to a video just by using chroma key. Now, not only are those options harder to find, but many of the good ones are locked behind monthly subscriptions and extra fees for each individual item.

YouTube has also become more strict about repetition in videos and Shorts. That means creators now need more variety in their visuals—but at the same time, there are fewer affordable and flexible background options available. That is one of the biggest reasons we decided to start creating our own.

Another important reason is quality and originality. All of our watercolor backgrounds and green screens are hand-painted by Shy Artist specifically for Serenity of the Mind, and Serenity of the Mind holds the full copyright to all artwork and digital items we sell. These are not mass-produced digital templates—they are original works created to help content creators stand out while staying within platform rules.

We offer these digital items at a low price to help other creators like ourselves. We personally use these backgrounds and green screens in our own projects, and we truly hope they help you with your creations too.

Right now, we have five watercolor backgrounds and one green screen available, and we will continue to add more useful backgrounds and green screens over time.
