Green Screen Hollywood – What It’s All About
Posted by Phillip Guye in Entertainment on March 10th, 2010
Hollywood manages to transport moviegoers to different places be it real or normal. With today’s sophisticated film making technologies, anyone can take a look at ancient Rome’s grand coliseums, walk on the surface of Jupiter, and visit dimensions that was once restricted to only our imaginations. Also, creatures like monsters, angels, and beasts are brought to life with the help of green screen Hollywood technology. But what exactly is green screen or “Chroma Key” technology? How does it work?
Green screen technology is the mixing of 2 images together. A solid background color is utilized so that another image can be transposed in front of the main picture. More frequently than not, green is the color used for this reason though blue is also widely used. Green is more well-liked among filmmakers because image sensors in cameras are sensitive to it. Green camera channels have less noise and can make the cleanest masks. Also, the color green is often used because it doesn’t have to be illuminated much, in comparison to other colors. This makes the green screen the ideal background of different productions from weather reports to gigantic budget Hollywood movies.
However, there are some things to keep in mind when using green screen Hollywood technology. Good production equipment like lights and quality cameras should be used when using Chroma Key technology screens. Bad lighting can cause unpleasant shadows and wrong shades on the screen. Therefore , it is imperative to have all of the right equipment when filming something that requires the Chroma Key strategy.

Just how we watch free movies has been evolving so rapidly in the world today!
If you are wise you will only partake in legal movie downloads. Pirated downloads are unlawful and you are therefore stealing from and depriving many people of the fruits of their labor and inventiveness. The top movie studios at this moment are really starting to crack down and increasingly more men and women are getting arrested and fined for even just a few downloads. You aren’t resistant to prosecution when you download even just one film unlawfully. Also so that they can enforce the laws, prosecutors are increasingly cracking down on everyday people, patrons of the services rather than just the movie download site owners.
The newer computer systems that men and women are buying come with large hard drives, making it possible for big downloads such as movie files. Usually these files can be transferred to a DVD to regain your hard drive space. Let’s take a brief look at some facts about movie downloads and why you might consider checking this out.
One justified reason to download movies via the internet is all the time you’ll save by not running around trying to find what you would like. Realistically downloading the film might take some time but you can be doing other stuff while your personal computer completes the download. On the other hand if you have to go to the video store for a video, you are usually going to waste a lot of time.
Event Photography Tips
Posted by Peter Wong in Entertainment on March 2nd, 2010
A great way to make money with photography is to focus on events. You will be surprised about how many people want events covered and photographed.
Here’s how you can do it
You must be careful what events to cover if you want to make money. Only where people want to retain memories will it be worth your while.
One idea is to go to kids sports events. Get permission from the coach to click pics for the parents watching and then start clicking away. If you turn up with a huge telephoto lens like the ones used for pro coverage of events, you will be taken seriously. Make sure you get all the kids doing great action shots and then hand out flyers to all the parents watching with your web address. If you can get hold of the parents email address so you can email them the URL of you site then upload the pics to your web site that day and email everyone. If you have a simple shopping cart set up you can make money in a few hours as people pop in to see the pics and buy them for $20 or more a pop.
You can do a similar thing with weddings. Take all the regular shots as part of the wedding coverage but then get your URL printed on the wedding invites and all the other wedding materials and also get an email list of all the wedding guests, offer the couple a nice 20% discount for doing this and then take lots of extra pics at the wedding of the guests doing all the things they do. Upload all the pics to your site and send the emails. You will then make a lot more money than the 20% discount it cost you because then 20 or 30 people will be also buying your pics at $20 or more a shot straight from your site. Charging a higher price for high res pics is also a great money spinner.
