What is Chroma key

Commonly referred to as blue screen or green screen – is the technique for combining two images, in which the coloured background from one image is removed (or made transparent) to reveal another image behind it. Used for decades in feature film, video and television production

The traditional chroma key involves a complex professional studio setup with a large blue or green screen background. Where the blue or green color of the footage will be removed or made transparent so as to fit another background image or video to merge together.

This technology involves a green or blue light ring which can be fixed with any camera and a chromatte background instead of large blue or green matte setup. The light ring from the camera emits the blue/green color which hits the chromatte cloth and return back to the camera by making the cloth area transparent. Our students are making use of this innovative technology for producing their creative video contents.
