A recent green screen challenge that I put forth to the community was about Gnomedex attendance. The response was hugely, partly because the winning video was shown on Comcast’s local station here in Seattle. Yes – it appears on television! The winner also received a complimentary pass to Gnomedex itself.

Every week I try to post a new Green Screen challenge. The community loves participating in these – and some of the resulting videos are just amazing! I have a great time every week watching them all, and trying to choose my favorites.

Here’s your chance to do something with me! I recorded this while sitting in front of a green screen. “Chroma Keying” is a technique for mixing two images or frames together, in which a color from one image is removed, revealing another image behind it. It is commonly used for weather forecasts on the news. The weatherperson looks like they are standing in front of a large map. In the studio, it’s actually just a large blue or green background. The different weather maps are added to the screen using software.
