WHAT IS CHROMA KEY COMPOSITING? (In
the Entertainment industry.)
WHAT IS CHROMA KEY COMPOSITING?
Chroma keying is a technique used for combining two
frames or images by replacing a color or a color range in one frame with that
from the another frame. ... Chroma key is also known as color keying and color
separation overlay; it is also commonly called blue screen or green screen.
Chroma key compositing, or chroma keying, is a visual
effects/post-production technique for compositing (layering) two images or
video streams together based on color hues (chroma range). The technique has
been used heavily in many fields to remove a background from the subject of a
photo or video – particularly the news casting, motion picture, and video game
industries. A color range in the foreground footage is made transparent,
allowing separately filmed background footage or a static image to be inserted
into the scene. The chroma keying technique is commonly used in video
production and post-production. This technique is also referred to as color keying,
color-separation overlay, or by various terms for specific color-related
variants such as green screen, and blue screen – chroma keying can be done with
backgrounds of any color that are uniform and distinct, but green and blue
backgrounds are more commonly used because they differ most distinctly in hue
from most human skin colors. No part of the subject being filmed or
photographed may duplicate the color used as the backing.
It is commonly used for weather forecast broadcasts,
wherein a news presenter is usually seen standing in front of a large CGI map
during live television newscasts, though in actuality it is a large blue or
green background. When using a blue screen, different weather maps are added on
the parts of the image where the color is blue. If the news presenter wears
blue clothes, his or her clothes will also be replaced with the background
video. Chroma keying is also common in the entertainment industry for visual
effects in movies and video games.
