The University of New Mexico ARTS Lab will present an interactive demonstration on studio lighting for green screen applications on Friday, Oct. 26, 2-4:30 p.m. at the ARTS Lab Garage at 123 Pine St. N.E., near the intersection of Central Avenue and University Boulevard. The event is the first in a new series of Friday afternoon workshops. Future topics include motion capture and digital rights management.
Green screen is a popular special effects tool, used in numerous movies including “Sin City” and “300.” The technique is a relatively low-cost way for filmmakers to put their characters in the environment of their choice. But the proper lighting can make all the difference.
The Oct. 26 demonstration will cover the basic approach to illumination concepts and specific challenges involved in lighting for the chroma key process.
This session will be conducted in the studio environment of ARTS Lab Garage, and will feature a real-time chroma key system. The concepts covered can be applied to film and video projects, experimental art and visual effects.
To participate in the event RSVP at: ARTS Lab RSVP.
