Burchuss! Back in front of a camera for the first time in years!
The purpose of this silly little clip was to test the chromakeying ability of the new editing setup. Actually, with very little tweaking from the default settings, and very amateurishly shot footage (the “bluescreen” is just that – the blue “no input” screen on an LCD TV/monitor), it doesn’t look bad at all. I pasted another layer of Weather Channel on top of the composited image so the lower-third “ticker” would be in front of Burchuss. (You’ll have to pardon the craptastic picture quality of my cable signal – not much I can do to fix that, though the Flash video compression would seem to have knocked the interference down quite a bit.)
Basically, this test means that, with a properly lit portable blue or green screen (and yes, such things do exist), I could theoretically shoot interview subjects and put whatever I want behind them – moving video, a big wooden wall that wasn’t there before, the White House, a giant Olivia, whatever you like.
