History of Green Screen Hollywood
Written by Phillip Guye

Green screen Hollywood technology, AKA chroma key is a technique used by filmmakers to mix two separate photographs together. This works by making the background ( a solid color which is generally green or blue ) transparent in order to show another image which is the actual background that'll be shown on film. This technique of filming is also known as color keying, blue screen, and color separation overlay ( CSO ). It was essentially used for weather reports. Forecasters were shot in front of chroma key screens and the background got replaced by tangible maps that indicate weather estimates. The chroma key technique is also utilised by filmmakers and photographers alike.

After his fulfillment in the 30's, butler was the first person to use chroma key technology in Technicolor, leading the way for modern green screen Hollywood technology.

The first films to benefit from Chroma Key technology was the movie modification of Ernest Hemingway famous novella, "The Old Man and the Sea," starring Spencer Tracy. After the "Old Man and the Sea," more and more films used the chroma key system. Some famous film that make use of chroma key technology are The Empire Strikes Back, Lord of the Rings, Titanic, Star Trek, and even 300. Films that employ CGI or PC generated photographs are also made with the help of green screen technology. This is how having out of this world settings and wonderful creatures are able to be shown on film.

Today, green screen Hollywood technology isn't just confined to massive budget studios. It's also used in photography.
