ABSTRACT

With the advent of YouTube and inexpensive HD camcorders, pretty much anyone who wants to be a movie director can be one. But for the aspiring Spielberg or Cameron producers who wish to beef up their vids, well, using a green screen is hard to discount. The idea of being able to create a background of your choosing—be that a pastoral scene, the Eiffel Tower or an asteroid in outer space—is hard to beat. And, surprisingly, easier to do today than ever before.
