Green Screen

“Coronation Street” has been planning for its 60th anniversary episode on 9th December and in general intends to “… go back to brass tacks.”, according to the BBC News website.

Three running storylines will reach their conclusions during the anniversary week, which has been in the planning for more than a year.

As part of the news story, there was this picture:


Mike Jordan

Most be the Manchester air pollution causing this in a forthcoming episode of Corrie!

I’m teaching myself DaVinci Resolve Fusion (free software!), so a small challenge for me and anyone else who would like to exercise their lockdown brain. The original is a bit small and smudgy, but the result isn’t too bad. Much easier in Photoshop (or whatever), but that isn’t the point.


Pat Heigham

One of the best uses of green screen that I’ve seen, was the film “Sully” about the jetliner having to land in the Hudson River after a bird strike.

I saw a sequence showing the mock up fuselage in a tank, with huge sheets of green around that the city skyline was eventually matted in.

[This] has reminded me of Graeme Garden’s (alleged) Olde Cornish Proverb –

“When Skies are Dark, and getting Blacker,
Heed Ye Tomasz Shafernaker.”
