Green screening

Although green screen comes with many issues, it has the ability to be very effective. Green screening is frequently used in films from Twilight to fast and furious. It is also used in many television scenes in particular with weather presenting. Green screening in a fantastic tool that has helped film maker create amazing special effects.

What we did

In a small group we created a green screen animation using 2 figures, using the application ZU3D to capture the film. The green screen became very problematic with the issue of lighting and getting the green screen in the right positions. We added a desktop video as another layer to accompany our animation. The animation was short but sweet. Unfortunately the application did not save correctly.

Below however is an example of green screen.
