I had some people asking me what chroma-key is. So, I guess I can explain. Chroma-key is used a lot in tv. It starts with someone standing in front of a usually bright green background. They are filmed, or like the weatherman the map of the US is then shown behind him. The next step is replacing the green drop with another background. A new setting. It could be a picture of someplace or a video so it looks like you are somewhere else. This is really popular with movies. Half of the crazy destinations you see in movies are filmed with a chroma-key effect. There is a lot you can do with chroma-key. Superimpose pictures or video of you in other parts of the world, make special action scenes in movies, or do the weather like Dick Goddard. Chroma-key is a nice little effect that can do a lot, and save a movie maker a lot in travel expenses.
Is this person really at the beach? Looks like you'll never know!
