This class is co-presented by Pioneer Works and the New York Public Library, and is part of a series of classes and tutorials offered in conjunction with NYPL’s Tech Kits for Performing Artists program. Artist Caroline Garcia will teach the basics of chroma key technology, popularly known as green screening. Participants of this workshop will learn about this visual effect (VFX) commonly used in Hollywood and will test out the process using various color hues other than green. This workshop will also involve experimenting with the post-production technique of compositing, a method of layering images and video. By the end of the class, participants will create their own time-based collage through a compound system of chroma keying and image layering.
