Plain screen technology that I used

              Hi guys,! I have just now used "Video Edit Magic" which is used to work with videos. One significant feature in this is overlapping two videos by removing particular colour from the first video. This is just fantastic. I never thought doing such video is such a simple task. You can do double action video using this. To do this you need two videos. The first video should have a plain background, probably green colour and second video can be with any background. This software has a option of removing particular colours from the video. Since the first video involves plain background(green here), you have to select the green colour that is to be made transparent. So the result is the two videos with the first one with transparent background.
               Double action videos are not the only thing that can be done using this plain screen technology. You can make other good effects which depends on your creative thinking. For example, You can create video where you can fly in the sky!. For this, just as I said before you need two videos. First video as usual with a plain background. You are flying, so you just run a fan before you to make your hair and dress fluttering. The second video which has a plain sky. Thats all, just overlap the both.
                These are perhaps be the older and well versed technologies used in cinemas today. But the point I am making is the simplicity in making such videos. Given a pair of videos, it jus take 5 to 10 minutes to overlap and get the desired effect. Famous movies such as Enthiran used this green screen technology in several places. I admire that we too can create such videos with less requirements. The basic requirements that you need are
   1. Plain screen
   2.Proper lighting
   3.Video Edit magic
     With these requirements satisfied,you can fly in air, you can talk with yourself, You can go to places where you have never been and ofcourse you can create your own imaginary world with ease.!
