Green Screen Show

The art of green screening has been be something that has always seemed very interesting to me. I never really knew what it entitled until I took a photoshop class during my sophomore year of high school. We had to do a unit on it in class where we had to shoot a partner doing a pose or something behind a green screen and then remove the background from around them and place a new one in. It was actually a much simpler process then I expected and the ending product turned out to be pretty cool! The actually process of green screen technology that is used in movie productions and video games however is a little bit more complicated and sophisticated. The actual term used is called chroma key, or chroma keying. And it is explained as a special effects production for layering two images or video streams together based on color hues.
