It's green. Lots of green. 10' x 20' of green.
This past weekend I helped friends in Toccoa, GA shoot a green screen sequence. It all started with the construction: 8+ PVC pipes, a hack saw, bungee cords, and Croc clips--and, of course, a ridiculous amount of neon green fabric.
Greenscreen opens up incredible options for visual communication. In this case, we cast some characters as shadows; as in Peter Pan, they dance across walls in a surreal expression of reality. They move independently of the scenery around them, adding to their ubiquitous nature as narrators of the particular story we are creating on film. Capturing their movements on green screen and substituting background footage for the neon green allows them incredible freedom. They can walk through walls, up ceilings, and over clouds--
--they are omniscient narrators.
[I hope to upload samples of the finished product in the future; stay tuned!]
