The Elusive Green Screen

Weather professionals make the green screen look really easy. Every night they stand in front of that monochromatic monolith and are transported into weather systems or amongst animated graphics. They do have advantages in terms of technology and a permanent set up. The biggest challenge for an amateur chromokeyer is creating the single solid color that can be easily removed by any number of software applications. Shadows are an issue, folds are an issue, the color and texture of materials are issues. But it’s all worth it.
