Got an idea you want to share? A story to tell? A place you want to take people?
Green screen techniques can help you deliver compelling, informative messages to your online audiences. Green screen isn’t new technology. It’s been around since the 1940s. If you want to know more about it, have a read of I’ve always wondered: why is a green screen green?, an article in The Conversation by Lincoln Turner and Russell Anderson.
I’ll leave the techie, scientific stuff with them, and stick to the fun part of green screen production, that extra dimension it brings to exploring and expressing your stories and ideas through video. Green screen technology, which is portable and easy to set up on location by the way, opens up what I call ‘layering’ opportunities’, putting the narrator into the picture in surprising and engaging ways.
In a nutshell, green screen allows the producer to lift narrators or actors from studio settings and slip new background elements behind them. It also allows you to use visual effects separately on both the narrator and her digitally created environment. Having control of those variables makes it possible for a producer to compress and juxtapose visuals into enriched, creative compositions.
My passion is helping people tell their stories. Green screen is one of the techniques I use to present collaborative works and ideas from engaging perspectives.
