Ah, chroma-key, how you’ve grown

Chroma-key, colour-seperation overlay, blue-screen, green-screen… It’s come a long way, and this vid proves it. I can’t believe how many shows now use it, even Ugly Betty – yeah, I watch it, so what?!

As you’ll tell from the vid, it’s from Stargate Studios, and is amazing work… It’s stunning how far special effects have come in recent years, e.g. the burly man brawl in that 2nd Matrix film that was never made, any number of kid’s films, Avata – well, almost ;-) Just need to get out of the uncanny valley ;)
