Thankfully, there have been a large amount of technological advancements that changed the entertainment industry. There is always a new and thrilling picture that sweeps audiences off of their feet. The eyes of today’s generation are fortunate enough to have see such amazing glasses. This is possible thru the help of the green screen Hollywood technique. So technique involves mixing 2 images so that they appear to be in a single frame. Without it, films today would continue to consist of unrealistic puppets and poorly drawn backdrops. Here are some pictures that were made feasible by the green screen or “chroma key” system.

Star Wars. One of the first modern films that used chroma key technology was George Lucas’ “The Empire Strikes Back.” dazzling battleship chases, interplanetary backdrops, and interesting settings would not be possible without Chroma Key Technology. Imagine the Millennium Falcon zooming on a fake-looking background. Imagine painted backdrops in the place of the wonderful places the film showed all over a universe far, far away. It surely doesn’t appear extraordinarily inviting, does it? Thankfully , Chroma key technology saved the day by making the creating of Lucas’ illusory universe possible .

Titanic. Titanic is a colossal tear-jerker of a picture. Who wouldn’t cry for poor Jack and Rose? Who can forget the iconic “I’m the king of the world” scene? Who didn’t hold their breath when the doomed vessel snapped in half after hitting the ice berg? This piece of flick magic would not be possible without the green screen Hollywood methodology. Without it, the love story wouldn’t be believable. Low quality shots and backgrounds will definitely cause the Titanic to sink at the box office.

300. This film is a true visual vision. 300 was shot completely on green screen! Leonidas and the Spartans would not find themselves in a visually striking atmosphere if t weren’t for the magic of the Chroma Key Technique. The feel and appear of the flick wouldn’t be the same without the chroma key technique. Without it, the idea of three hundred squaddies beating an armed forces of ghoulish men would look like plain madness instead of beauty.

Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Gollum is by far one of the eeriest CGI creations, and his appearance in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy was made possible by the Chroma Key. The creature’s lifelike actions were arrested through chroma key technology. Also, the style of the Shire and other regions of the Lord of the Rings universe won’t be caught by simply creating full sized sets. That’s where the green screen Hollywood comes in. It digitally created backdrops that were added to the movie for a more practical feel. This made the movie much more valuable.
