green "chromakey" paint, or "greenscreen" is used when you are going to composite, or "comp", a live image onto an already captured one; the movie 300, or Amanda Tapping's series Sanctuary, for example, are projects almost entirely done with greenscreen.

the actors and small bits of real sets - along with any props needed - are shot in front of a green screen, and then when the background images get created the two sets of images are merged into one. "bluescreen" is exactly like greenscreen only with blue chromakey paint. blue is used if whatever you are shooting live has large amounts of green in it.

for something like what this project was, or live news/sports broadcasts, the compositing is done live.

Are the white fuzzy areas where lights are shining on the screen?

Do many projects die when the blue screen appears?

1. that's by-product of the filters i applied to the image to get it to suck less. :D but yeah, it's essentially spillover of light bloom.

2. lol. i made that joke with the professional live-comp guy. he didn't think it was nearly as funny as i did.

The local weather lady says this is why she can't wear a green top; she blends into the map when it's super-imposed and looks like she's wearing a cloak of invisiblity.
