The eyes of today’s generation are lucky enough to have see such amazing spectacles. This is possible through the help of the green screen Hollywood technique. Therefore strategy involves mixing 2 photographs so that they seem to be in a single frame. Without it, films today would continue to consist of unrealistic puppets and poorly drawn backdrops. Here are some pictures that were made possible by the green screen or “chroma key” system.
Star Wars. One of the first modern films that used chroma key technology was George Lucas’ “The Empire Strikes Back.” amazing battleship chases, interplanetary backdrops, and fascinating settings wouldn’t be possible without Chroma Key Technology. Imagine the Millennium Falcon zooming on a fake-looking background. Imagine painted backdrops in the place of the superb places the film depicted all over a universe far, far away. It surely doesn’t seem awfully inviting, does it? Thankfully , Chroma key technology saved the day by making the creation of Lucas’ fictitious universe practical. Read more...

Green screen Hollywood technology, AKA chroma key is a technique used by filmmakers to mix two separate pictures together. This works by making the background ( a solid color which is mostly green or blue ) transparent in order to show another image which is the actual background that’ll be shown on film. This method of filming is often referred to as color keying, blue screen, and color separation overlay ( CSO ). It was essentially used for weather reports. Forecasters were shot in front of chroma key screens and the background was replaced by actual maps that indicate weather forecasts . The chroma key strategy is also used by filmmakers and photographers alike.
The green screen first made its appearance in the 1930’s at RKO Radio pictures. The backdrop used back then was blue. This technique of film making was developed in order to create computer effects for the film “The burglar of Bagdad.” except for the chroma key methodology, filmmakers relied on an especially boring and time intensive process called “travelling matte.” This made transition like “wipes” practical.

You are creating something that people will keep for years to come. You are capturing a very special moment in people’s lives. Your clients will be looking for a quality track record because it is such a special moment they want capturing. If you are a photographer you might want to consider photographing weddings because there is a lot of money to be made by doing them. With the money comes the risk which you must manage well.
A disclaimer should be included in a well written up first time contract. A disclaimer is something that can prevent you from being sued later on. For example, you should include that you are not responsible for pictures that might get lost after you send the film away to get developed, or pictures that do not come out clear due to equipment failure. You do not want to be sued for breaching your contract.
The hourly rate and how many pictures are to be taken should also be included in the contract. Something else you should include would be the fees for developing and the fee of the album. Make sure you discuss with your clients what their requirements are. They might want a certain person or family they would like pictures of since they don’t get to see them often, so that should be discussed as well if it is an issue. Read more...

Life in a green screen studio can be exciting, if you’re not one of the cameramen, that is. It can be so dull and uninteresting to keep preparing and rearranging the lighting and all the other apparatus that is there in the studio. On the other hand, for you and I who watch only the finished product, life in a studio (that boasts of the best quality of green screens) appears to be terribly exciting. One wonders how it is feasible to capture on film someone being chased by a tiger or something even worse.
There are pictures in newspapers and magazines of football players at a match. Sometimes, there is a image of a particular player whose expression is caught for perpetuity, or so we think. It is quite possible that this expression was caught in the confines of a green screen studio and not on the soccer field. A picture of the soccer match in progress is superimposed on the green screen which has already served as the background in the studio. The football player is asked to stand in front of the screen, a look of ecstasy on his face, to copy that which he had when he made that brilliant pass during a significant league match against an arch rival team.

On a cold, gray morning in late January 2000, the historic Mapes Hotel in Reno was imploded by 75 pounds of explosives tucked into the art-deco structures support columns. The controlled demolition came despite years of effort by a number of groups within the community and nationally to preserve the building with lawsuits, redevelopment proposals, and grass roots lobbying efforts.
While the logic and necessity of demolishing the Mapes is very questionable, one thing that is certain is that the hotel was an important part of Northern Nevada history. The opening of the Mapes in’47 ushered in a new era in casino gambling, and changed the economy and way of life in Nevada forever. The Mapes was actually the first property in the country to combine a hotel, casino and live entertainment under the same roof. It also became the hotel of choice for celebrities staying in Northern Nevada. Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe stayed at The Mapes during the filming of ‘The Misfits’. Joseph McCarthy, America’s famed anti-Communist crusader, admitted to a reporter over cocktails in the Mapes Lounge that he really didn’t have a list of Communists in the US despite his frequent and vitriolic insistence to the contrary.
