	Bluescreen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bluescreen (known in television as chroma key) is a term for the filmmaking technique of shooting foreground action against an evenly-lit monochomatic background for the purpose of removing the background from the scene and replacing it with a different image or scene.
		The bluescreen shot was first rephotographed through a blue filter so that only the background is exposed.
		The bluescreen shot was then rephotographed, this time through a red and green filter so that only the foreground image was cast on film, creating a fl sillohuette on an unexposed (clear) background.

		It was as a child in the late 70's that I was first introduced to the concept of using a bluescreen in film and video while watching The Making of Star Wars.

		The Blue Screen of Death (sometimes called "bluescreen", "stop error" or just "BSoD") is a popular name for the screen displayed by Microsoft's Windows operating system when it cannot or is in danger of being unable to recover from a system error.

	Lighting Bluescreen for HD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Zebras are pretty easy to see and faster than a meter, they also give you the exposure where it counts on the ccd, thus making allowances for less than perfect lenses.
		An alternative to a yellow rim, which doesn't occur in real life often, is to limit the area of bluescreen you are lighting, thus reducing bounce back.
		I shot a guy, full length dancing 2 feet from a bluescreen, where the bottom of the screen was simply fabric on the ground (no infinity cyc available) and using multiple plug ins it was keyed ok, took about 20 minutes with a top operator...

	Blue Sky Bluescreen
		As that plan changed, shots were drained of all color from the bluescreen shoot, composited in fl and white with CG elements, and stylized bits of color and sepia tones were reintroduced.
		The next step, according to Hollings, was to figure out a system to conduct the bluescreen shoot efficiently because actor availability was limited and principal photography would have to take place on a compressed schedule.
		He adds that it was determined early that the production would use bluescreen, rather than greenscreen, in order to produce the cleanest possible mattes.

		Sometimes it can be tricky to get large rolls of "normal" fabric, but bluescreens and greenscreens can easily be bought in 10/12'x30' or whatever.
		Unless your subject is wearing a blue costume, or you are shooting an blue starship or the like, go with bluescreen.
		Something to add here, regarding the blue vs. green issue: when you're doing keying, especially if your medium is miniDV, it's a good idea to try to achieve as much separation between your foreground and your background in the luminescence range.

	Bluescreen vs Greenscreen vs Blackscreen - Board Index
		If you are shooting miniatures at high frame rates it helps that the luminance of a greenscreen requires less light to make the required shooting f-stop.
		That said a bluescreen lit by the light of the sun makes for a fantastic key.
		Personally where possible, I would shoot the explosion against a real sky or against real backgrounds and use green or bluescreen to overlay with other real foreground elements.
