Green Screen

Green Screens

A green screen simply allows you to remove the background of an image or video and replace it with a photo or video of your choice. The color green is used because human skin lacks green pigment. With the green screen app (available on the makerspace iPads), it is easy to place yourself in the Sahara Desert, become the size of a bug, report live from a sporting event, fly above the clouds, star in your own comic strip, or take a magic carpet ride to a famous landmark.

If you are tired of the same old Google slide presentations, it may be time to introduce the green screen.

The process of simply replacing a background is very easy. But why stop there? Using a variety of apps and computer programs, there is no limit to the things you can do. Green screen combines pure creativity with the technical problem solving skills of how to make it happen.

Example of a 6th grade music video to accompany the song "The Greatest Show" using green screen technology.
