My Last Year of College

Blue Screen

I constructed a blue screen on the basement wall. I got a huge piece of canvas, stapled it to the wall and floor, the painted it this lovely shade of blue. The paint, unfortunately soaked through. Not sure of the mess on the wall, but the floor is in bad shape. Glad Rick's in Alaska for six more weeks, that'll give me time to scrub it off!

Oh yeah, a blue screen is used for special video effect, like on the news when the weather person appears to be standing in front of a big map of the U.S. They put her in front of a blue wall, and "key" out the blue on the video, then drop in the background of the map.

I thought I'd play around with it, but wasn't very happy with the results. I can always use the backdrop for B/W photography!
