Way Cool Green Screen, or blue, or purple, or...

In lieu of writing yet another long blog about something you can do with Video this week, and because I'm just too lazy today to type, I bring you yet another cool video I've found. This one is on the subject of Green Screen keying. Chroma Key, or "Green Screen" the the ability of your editor to remove a solid color, such as Green and "key" in a photo background or video. With a simple green screen setup you can appear to be anywhere! Just superimpose yourself over video or a still from that place. Chroma Key is perfect for "Virtual Background Sets", especially when you can't afford to build an actual physical set.
You'd be surprised how much TV you watch and the anchor or program cast is actually not in the environment they appear to be. Like your weatherman is not actually standing in front of that cool map.
Anyway, I found this nifty video on UTube and thought I'd share....
