ABSTRACT
My friends and I all wore black tuxedos to our senior prom, while some of our dates wore black dresses. When our photographs were taken, we stood in front of a
green screen. When we got our pictures from the photographer, they all contained a
background that looked like the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon during take-off into
hyperspace. As garish and funny as it was to my friends and me, we couldn’t see our
tuxedos or the girls’ dresses because the backgrounds were 90% black. We literally
looked like floating heads in hyperspace. If the photographer would have had only one
or two alternative backgrounds to choose from when needed, he would have received
far fewer complaints from angry parents.
