Pocket Green Screen

I was so pleased with the results of my Portable Green Screen project, that I decided to make an even smaller one that could fit in my pocket. Perfect for lego men, which we play with a lot around here.

Green Screens are an interesting technology, used for all kinds of interesting effects. The first Star Wars Movie was done with green screen techniques, however computers make it a whole lot easier today.

You will need some bright green card stock and a suitable pocket sized tin, some small fridge magnets, and some little models.

This is really cool! Also, it looks pretty easy which for me is really good when it comes to technology.

You should take a picture with your index finger and thumb in front of the green screen about to pinch something. Then change the picture to something like the Eiffel tower. It will look like you were pinching (crushing) the Eiffel tower. :D
