With the summer movie season upon us, the movie going experience is dominated by visual effects utilizing Chroma Key green screen virtual sets and screen backgrounds. Chroma keying is a special effect or post-production technique used to layer two images or video streams together based on color hues, also known as “chroma range.”
The use of green screens in blockbuster movies like Furious 7 and Avengers: Age of Ultron shouldn’t be a surprise. But the other more commonplace movie and television scenes that use green screen effects to create a screen background would surprise you.
Green screen effects are used as virtual sets for things as mundane as bus stops to store fronts. These Chroma key effects provide the filmmakers with tremendous production flexibility. Here is just a sample of the surprising places that Chroma key virtual sets have been used in popular television and film productions.
Not Just for the Movies
These green screen effects do not need to be the eminent domain of big budget television and movie productions. Here at Oswego Creative, we have used our Chroma Key green screen studio to insert subjects into virtual sets or in front of screen backgrounds ranging from poolside to in front of a cozy fire.
Before you dismiss an idea for you next video as logistically impossible or cost prohibitive, consider a green screen studio to bring your vision to life.
