Movie producing, editing as well as technical help do not amount anyplace in my dictionary. I am completely ignorant about how movies are made and even how they eventually reach the screen on which I watch them. To get a better understanding of the craft and science of film making, I made the decision to pay a visit to one of my good friends, who seems to be always occupied filming at some studio or the other. I normally would continually contemplate just what he intended when he mentioned that he applied a Hollywood green screen. I kept thinking to myself that he couldn’t be nearly as good as he at all times believed. The truth is, I wondered whether all the shots which he had showed off, were his own or not! Not really wanting to hold on any much longer for information into this, I made a decision that I will pay a visit to the studio where he worked.

 

When I walked into the green screen studio, I was basically stunned to see a model located before a big green screen. Then this was the Hollywood green screen that he couldn’t stop talking about, I imagined. I was right; that was indeed the background that he made use of. The actress of course was dressed up for the part. The lady was sporting khaki shorts and a very thin white top that left extremely little to a person’s imagination. Her curved contours did absolutely nothing to allow the cameraman to concentrate on his lighting effects arrangements.

 

Since I was there to see how the Hollywood green screen really was employed, I tried my best to avoid any sight of the model; this was for fear that I might find myself asking her out. I do have to confess that she was a lot more intriguing to look at when compared with this plain green screen that hadn’t one flaw or blemish. Also, mind you, I had neglected to tell you that I had this other pal who had accompanied me to view the shoot. His eyes had a remote look. Only when I believed that he was going to cause solid competition for me (in going to the model), I notice that he was browsing beyond her. His sights were fixed on the backdrop and he was attempting to discover exactly what product the green screen was made of.

 

Ultimately, the shot was done, with the model in a posture that implied that she was wandering cautiously. Her facial movement appeared to get outlined by the Hollywood green screen that was in the background. I now started to ponder how and when they were going to film the Borneo jungle. It was then that my cameraman buddy grabbed us to the editing and compositing area. On this site, I got to know a few home truths about photography. There were numerous photos of the jungle. The best amongst the lot was picked out and the same was superimposed on the snap shots with the model, in such a manner that it appeared like she was strolling via some lustrous and scary scenery.
