Color Separation Overlay, more commonly known as green screen, the process by which a subject filmed on a camera can be seamlessly inserted into a scene generated by other means. It relies on filming the subject in front of a solid-color background — usually green or blue — and processing the film in a way that removes that particular color and leaving a clean plate that can be filled with the visual effect. The technique is usually used to composite the subject into a computer generated environment, but other live action footage, matte paintings, traditional animation, or some combination of all can be used also. Blue was a popular choice in the early days of color motion pictures, because it is complementary to the reds found in human skin. Green became popular because digital editing systems can isolate green with less light in the background, and because lime green is less common than bright blue in costuming or set design. Magenta is sometimes used, as is black, but the latter is problematic, as it's almost impossible to shoot a person without having some black visible on their person, in eyes or shadows. The color used is now entirely arbitrary, the colored backgrounds are helpful in isolating elements but with digital technology often someone is still dedicated to manually "masking" things out that still needed some help. This technique is Older Than They Think. Before the existence of computer editing, the effect could be achieved using rear projection, double-exposing the film, or a Matte Shot. When done quickly or sloppily the effort can cause a Special Effect Failure, especially if proper colors are not accounted for. If any part of an actor or prop is colored the same as the background, that part will disappear. A few actors who also had Blue Screen-colored eyes; Broken Arrow (1996) offers an example, where an astute viewer can occasionally see special effects in John Travolta's irises. Thus, sometimes the background color is chosen because of the colors to be used in the foreground action. The original run of Doctor Who, for instance, used green or yellow backgrounds even when blue was the most common color at The BBC, because a large number of its effects shots involved the TARDIS, a timeship that takes the form of a blue police phone box. The problem with using yellow was that foreground objects and actors always had a prominent yellow fringe around them. Normally, wardrobe and prop designers simply avoid using greens in the capture range, but this is not always possible; you'll occasionally see bloopers where weather forecasters have part of the meteorology map show up on their ties, for example. The invisibility effect can be used intentionally to allow a performer, or part of their body, to interact with props while remaining unseen. A garment that can be used for this purpose is a one-piece jumpsuit in the background color, with a full-face mask, and a mesh eye piece, called a "gimp suit" or, in the case of a blue background, a "blueberry" in the trade. Performers in newer Jim Henson Productions shows have used these suits to perform with puppets without having to raise them above their heads. The suit looks like a Ninja outfit, and that is not a coincidence, as it serves the same purpose as the black outfits traditionally worn by Japanese stagehands. Also compare Serkis Folk and Motion Capture. Almost all productions use Chroma Key at some point, but there are some standout examples. Also notable for causing occasional unintentional hilarity — when background and foreground are poorly matched, or the visual effects budget is low, the effect is anything but seamless. It can be fairly tricky to create a viable Chroma-Key effect, especially with amateur equipment — often, it requires fiddling with hue and saturation, and even then, there is often a faint, tell-tale 'border' around the subject where the green-screen footage and the 'real' actor don't match up. |

The Eric Andre Show parodies this in the "Bird Up!" sketches, where Eric wears a green body suit that is supposed to make him inconspicuous in post-production. The effect is not applied most of the time, and when it is, a wholly unrelated landscape shows through the suit. | |

In one episode of Chewin' the Fat, Ronald Villiers — "the second-worst actor in the world" — auditions to play an army officer in an insurance commercial (a parody of the real-life "Admiral" commercials) and is asked to deliver a monologue in front of a green screen. He thinks he's in a serious war movie, and assumes that the green screen is there because his footage is going to be used in a gory battle scene. | |

One of the improv games in Whose Line Is It Anyway? is "Newscasters", in which one actor (usually Colin) would play a field reporter in front of a green screen. The other actors, who could see the background scene in a monitor, would play news anchors asking the reporter questions about the scene. Hilarity (and sometimes squick) frequently ensued. | |

The Just Dance series and its various spinoffs use chroma-keyed footage of human dancers against themed rendered backgrounds that are usually animated to sync with the song and/or the dancers' movements. In the occasion where a dancer's outfit or costume must be green, such as a costume of Slimer from Ghostbusters, it is designed for the filming with a different color (usually blue) in place of the green and then recolored for the actual video. | |

Luke Cage (2016): In The Defenders, Misty Knight loses her right arm after it gets cut off by Bakuto during a fight in Midland Circle. Thus, for Luke Cage season 2, a mix of practical and greenscreen effects are used on Simone Missick's right arm. For scenes where Misty is wearing her new robotic right arm, Missick is wearing an actual prop over her real arm. For scenes where she's not wearing the arm, Missick is wearing a special greenscreen glove with a sleeve that runs all the way down her forearm to her elbow. | |

The Price Is Right uses Chroma Key for several parts of the show: The old (1972-2014) Clock Game board had a section where a shot of the contestant or the prizes could be superimposed. It was originally blue, but this led to an unexpected problem when the set was redesigned in 2003: the pink-purple-blue pattern on the wall behind the game interfered with the Chroma Key. A quick fix was initially made by putting a yellow circle behind the board for two playings, then the board itself was repainted with the Chroma key section becoming green. The original (1976-86) Danger Price board also had a section to superimpose a shot of the contestant or the prizes on. Season 37 (2008-09) saw the replacement of the long-used "trip skins" (the giant artwork-filled displays seen in the Big Doors whenever a trip was offered) with green screens of the same shape. Due to technical problems (they couldn't be used in Door #3, which is green) and lackluster reactions from fans and contestants alike (only the home viewer could see the display; the audience and the contestants only saw a green wall) led to them being replaced by the currently used plasma screen a few months into the season. |

My Name Is Earl: When Earl's list item of the week involves a television news anchor, he and Randy go down to the studio. Randy wanders into the green corner, wondering why it is there, when he notices himself on the monitor, standing in front of a weather map. When he unzipps his jacket to reveal a green shirt, he freaks out, seeing himself as just a floating head and hands. He later figures it out enough to do a Pac-Man impression. | |

The WWF used the green screen back in the days of taped wrestling, giving the appearance that Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan (and later Vince McMahon, Jerry Lawler, Jim Ross, Jim Cornette, etc..) were actually there in the building calling the matches, rather than just doing it in post production from Connecticut. The audio wouldn't be recorded until a couple days before the show aired, giving the announcers a chance to make jokes about something in the news, to further give the illusion that you weren't watching a taped show.note WCW was pretty notorious for not bothering with any of this, taping their syndicated TV in blocks that would span up to 6 months of shows (the WWF would never tape more than 4 weeks). This would often play hell with their continuity, leading to stuff like the famous "negative title reign", where the Freebirds lost the tag titles six days before they won them. Today WWE still uses the green screen for various pre-taped segments. | |

In the Harry Potter films, the invisibility cloak is created with a chroma key green cloak. Chroma key is obviously also used for scenes with Flying Broomsticks and so forth. As as far as sets go, the Potter filmmakers tended to prefer building real sets and just using chroma key to fill in scenery out a window, for example. However, there have been at least two all-CGI sets in the series, the Hall of Prophecy from Order of the Phoenix (because they couldn't do the scene where all the shelves crash down for real) and the Chamber of Secrets in Deathly Hallows, Part 2 (the original Chamber set from The Chamber of Secrets was real, but wasn't saved after filming). | |

The Colbert Report uses it for Formidable Opponent, in which Colbert debates himself; to create the other Colbert, in addition to mirroring the shot, the Chroma Key changes the background he's standing in front of, and the color of his tie. Colbert also makes liberal use of the chroma key in his Green Screen Challenges. The first one involved him fighting whatever the contestants edited in with a lightsaber, the second one was an attempt to make John McCain interesting. |

The fact that only blue screen was available for A New Hope caused Luke's squadron to be changed from Blue to Red to avoid problems with blue markings.

In the Rugrats episode "Grandpa Moves Out", Grandpa sees an ad for a retirement center called Flushing Waters. During the ad, a man named Roberto Mazatlan (clearly a parody of Ricardo Montalbán) talks about this place as if it's some kind of luxurious resort rather than a nursing home. Throughout the commercial, it's obvious he's standing in front of a blue screen as the blue outline around him is clearly visible. This serves as the first indication that the place is a fraud. | |

In Wayne's World, when the Show Within a Show moves into a studio, they gain the ability to use Chroma Key, which Wayne demonstrates for the audience by "travelling" to New York City, Hawaii, Texas, and... Delaware. "Hi... I'm in Delaware." | |

In A.N.T. Farm, when Olive paints Chyna's bedroom wall green during a slumber party, Chyna uses Stock Footage from a movie for her background while video chatting with Lexi, to prove that her slumber party is cooler than Lexi's. Everyone in the background is at least 10 years older than Chyna and are dressed like they're in a nightclub. It works even when Olive puts on a hoodie the same color as the green wall, which blanks out everything except her head until Chyna covers it up. Lexi doesn't catch on until a ninja drops in and attacks the people in the nightclub. | |

In Wheel of Fortune, an overhead shot of the Wheel, spinning automatically, would have hosts Chuck Woolery and Susan Stafford (and successors Pat Sajak and Vanna White) chroma-keyed into its green center at the end of the show. Although this shot was long retired, the center of the Wheel is still green. | |

In filming the first Superman movie, the costume had to be teal in blue screen effects, and then color corrected after the shots were composited. In Superman III, there is a short instant where you can see him flying through a canyon sporting the teal outfit. | |

While on chroma key for invisibility, Hollow Man shows how many colors can be used for erasure, as Kevin Bacon wore green, blue, grey, or black (the latter two in scenes involving water). His castmates even admitted the biggest challenge was looking at this colorful figure and still treat it as seriously as such a thriller required. | |

Super Sentai suffers from very bad chroma key in some of the early series, particularly Dengeki Sentai Changeman at the end and sporadically throughout◊ Choushinsei Flashman. By the time Hikari Sentai Maskman aired, the production staff no longer used it (for the most part). More recent Sentai series abuse this for finisher attacks to give off that anime effect. Most of the explosions and sparks are overlayed through Chroma Key nowadays as well. | |

The FMV for Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger is filmed exclusively on greenscreen. As the game came out in 1994, it was one of the first times, possibly the first, that the technology was used to replace physical sets. Unfortunately, the results didn't look good, and Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom shifted to actual sets. | |

Doctor Who: "Robot" uses a yellow screen for the giant robot, which is an unwise choice as the robot is silver and reflective, so parts of it actually disappear. "Underworld" uses CSO instead of sets, resulting in things like K9 going through a wall. "The Power of Kroll" is intended to use CSO to remove the sky to insert the miniature footage, but British weather made this impossible, so the screen was just chopped in half at the middle so bits of people's heads are missing when the Kroll appears. |

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004) has almost no real sets or props, relying on Chroma Key in every shot. The reason for this is twofold: One, the studio in which they filmed was very, very small, restricting the use of wide shots, and two, the creators wanted the film to have a 1940's comics-esque noir/Pulp Magazine feel to it, something they achieved quite nicely on such a limited budget. | |

Homestar Runner: In the Strong Bad Email redesign, Strong Bad imagines what his room would look like if he replaced the walls with a green screen. It backfires when he imagines frolicking through the bread aisle of a grocery store, as due to his eyes also being green, they vanish ("Oh, bread aisle! Warm me with your enriched, bleached bosom! And please, give me back my sight"). It then freaks him out when he sees the green-clad Coach Z walk in, appearing as nothing more than a floating head. | |

The Punisher (2017): Curtis Hoyle is missing his left leg below the knee and thus wears a prosthetic. For the most part, Jason R. Moore doesn't have to do anything as this part of Curtis's leg is usually hidden by his pant legs. But for scenes where Curtis isn't wearing pants and the stump of his leg is visible, Moore wears a special greenscreen sock that stretches up to just below his knee. | |
