ChromaKey: What You See Isn’t Always What You Get
Geeks are Sexy: "We all know that in today’s movies, “Green Screen” technology, also known as “ChromaKey”, is being used to create virtual environments that look just like the real thing. The extent to which ChromaKey is being used in a production remains largely unknown to most folks, but the following video will show you just how much can be done with the technology."

This is rill cool how far that blue screen has come. I did not know that is how much that this technology has gone and gotten so that the entire movie or show can be done on blue screen and seem like it is done at the real sight. This is one of those things that I wonder how much work it takes to do this and get it to work and look this life like. I would like to see some one do this work and see how fast they are at it and I wonder if it has a fast learning curve. So this was a great article at showing how far this technology has come.
It's a bizarre feeling to watch that video and recognize all of these instances that seem so real and then to find out they're not. You can't even tell anymore when a green screen is being used.
I wonder what kind of effect it would have on an audience to do a theatrical event with part of the set as a green screen, and then large projections showing the current action with the locations edited in. That might do some weird things to you watching actors live in a green box as well as an actual location.
