Words matter. These are the best Green Screen Quotes from famous people such as Keith Maitland, Caterina Scorsone, Eddie Redmayne, Sam Worthington, Martin Villeneuve, and they’re great for sharing with your friends.
The amazing thing about rotoscoping is that it’s very malleable. Unlike green screen, where the computer subtracts out the background, rotoscoping is an additive technology in that you don’t take anything away from the footage – you add layers on top of it.
Working on a green screen set, yeah, it’s almost like reading from a novel, taking those black words and creating a world around you.
When you’re doing a film that has so many effects, you do a lot of it on green screen, and you can’t see what that world is.
Any acting is a stretch of the imagination. That’s your job. Acting is truth in imaginary circumstances. Acting with green screen or a motion capture stage, you’re striving for absolute truth in absolutely imaginary circumstances.
‘Mars et Avril’ is a science fiction film. It’s set in Montreal some 50 years in the future. No one had done that kind of movie in Quebec before because it’s expensive, it’s set in the future, and it’s got tons of visual effects, and it’s shot on green screen.
I was so grateful to have made ‘Into the Wild’ before I made ‘Speed Racer’ because on ‘Speed Racer’ I was indoors every single day, every single scene, on a green screen. Some of the time, just to pass the time, I would think back to climbing mountains in Alaska. That really helped me.
It’s hard, the green screen; it’s a different way of working.
I’ve actually usually been wary of taking on science fiction as an actor because it’s really tough to do. It’s really difficult to execute. There’s often lots of prosthetics, green screen and special effects, and it can get very technical.
Technically, the green screen acting can be difficult because there’s something worse than a tennis ball on the end of a stick; it’s an Australian visual effects assistant running around a field with a cardboard dinosaur head on the end of a stick while wearing sandals.
The longer I spent time on ‘The Daily Show,’ standing in front of a green screen pretending to report from war zones and hot spots around the world – most often from somewhere in the Middle East – the more I began to realize that ‘The Daily Show’ was radicalizing me.
I’ve realized that what you think of when you make a ‘big movie,’ if it’s actually a green screen movie, it’s like doing independent New York theater because you don’t have any backgrounds or props. So it’s kind of like making the lowest budgeted film you could possibly imagine, plus $100 million.
When we have a lot of the running, which we do on green screen, that is actually the hardest… I swear I have, like, four separate scenes in a row running, and I’d only done one at a time before.
On ‘Game of Thrones,’ we always shoot away from the green screen because it’s bloody expensive to shoot green screen.
It’s funny, because even though on a drama like ‘Picket Fences’ those long monologues would stress me out, doing special effects where there’s a green screen and there’s nobody there to to react to and you have to recite all this dialogue, it’s so much more difficult.
I did green screen for the first time! I wouldn’t like to do a whole movie of green screen, though. You kind of forget the plot a little – like being in a Broadway play and doing it over and over and forgetting your line halfway through.
Regarding green screen, green screen is really like doing some stage work. You have to make believe that there is a window, make believe that something is there that is really not there and convince the audience. It’s part of acting.
Imagining things are there that are not really there, with the green screen, is very much like theatre, when you’re looking at the fourth wall.
I could take my grandma and put her in a cape, and they’ll put her on a green screen, and they’ll have stunt doubles come in and do all the action. Anybody can do it. They’re relying on stunt doubles and green screen and $200 million budgets – it’s all CGI created. To me, it’s not authentic.
You’ve seen how they make movies like Star Wars and stuff. They’re never really there. They’re in front of a green screen just pretending to be jumping around.
I’ve been doing sci-fi for two years, and there is always something big going on. The stakes are always huge. You’re fighting for your life, or you’re dealing with personal stuff. It has really high stakes attached to it, and there are green screen and explosions. You’re going out on these really cool locations.
