Unhhhh: E.G. OF GREEN SCREEN IN POPULAR MEDIA

GIF from "Unhhhh" youtube show of green screen animation

Unhhhh is a youtube show by drag queens Trixie Mattel and Katya, both formerly from RuPaul's Drag Race. The show has gone viral and won several awards for its editing, which primarily includes the use of creative green screen techniques and collage. Its one of the best examples of green screen made content outside of hollywood. Their approach to using green screen as an opportunity for visual collage, has inspired several other you tube series!

Note: The series is somewhat crass and relies heavily on the audience's understanding of pop culture and LGBTQ history (which is awesome cause they are Drag Queens!!!), but the editing and technique is unparalleled for its type of content creation.
