Have you ever lived in one location, but wanted to visit another, well with a Green Screen you can do so. The many wonders of the Green Screen is you can have the illusion of actually going to any location in the world or universe within a few seconds with Green Screens, without actually going to that location.
You can do many many things with the Green Screen, but why the color green, why can’t we use blue or even red. Well you can use other colors, but green is the best color to use for it beats blue, one of the more common screens, because green isn’t a color that is worn everyday by actors, so you could put green spots on the actors clothing and there’s be a hole in there body when you added the background.
Some of you may be asking “What do I need to get for a Green Screen” well I can tell you that you’ll need a Green background, bright even lighting and a tripod to lock your camcorder in place. For the Background you could either get bright green cloth (straight and flat) or you could paint a smooth wall with a gallon of dinosaur green from the kids section. For the lighting it could be tricky to get bright even lighting, but as long as you have two different lighting sources that are moveable you should be all set.
