Mix With The Jungles Of Borneo - Use Hollywood Green Screen

By Phillip Guye

Movie producing, editing as well as technical help do not figure anyplace in my dictionary. I am absolutely ignorant about how videos are made and the way in which they ultimately reach the screen where I watch them. To get a much better knowledge of the craft and science of film making, I decided to pay a visit to one of my buddies, who's constantly hectic shooting at some studio or the other. I would certainly continually contemplate precisely what he meant when he stated that he applied a Hollywood green screen. I kept pondering to myself that he can't be as good as they at all times claimed. Actually, I pondered whether all the shots that he had showed off, were his own or not! Certainly not wanting to hold on any much more for insight into this, I made the decision that I would check out the studio where he worked.

When I stepped inside the studio, I was initially astonished to see a model located in front of a large green screen. So this was the Hollywood green screen that he kept on chatting about, I thought. I was correct; it was indeed the background that he used. The actress of course was dressed up for the part. She was sporting khaki pants and a thin white top which left really little to a person's imagination. Her rounded contours did practically nothing to help the cameraman to concentrate on his lighting arrangements.

Since I was there to find out how the Hollywood green screen really was put to use, I attempted my best to steer clear of any sight of the model; this was for fear that I might find myself asking her out. I do have to admit that she was a lot more interesting to glance at as compared to this plain green screen that had not one single flaw or imperfection.

Oh, by the way, I had forgotten to inform you that I had this other good friend who had escorted me to see the shoot. His eyes had a remote glance. Just when I assumed that he was going to cause stiff competition for me (in approaching the model), I realize that he was browsing past her. His sights were fixed on the background and he was striving to figure out exactly what product the green screen was made of.

Finally, the shot was completed, with the model in a position that implied that she was wandering meticulously. Her facial expressions seemed to get featured by the Hollywood green screen which was in the background. I now started to ponder exactly how and when they were planning to film the Borneo jungle. This was then that my cameraman buddy got us to the editing and compositing area. Here, I got to know some home truths about photography. There were quite a few pictures of the jungle. The best amongst the lot was picked out and the exact same was superimposed on the photos with the model, in such a manner that it looked like she was strolling through some thick and scary landscaping.
