Working while they are remodeling your home/office
Bill Myers
Working from home has many advantages. But it can have disadvantages as well. For example, this week I needed to produce some short video clips from my home office. Problem was, the entire top floor of our house is being repainted, including my office. And it's a mess (painters, ladders, buckets, drop cloths, fans, etc.). Still, even with painters in the house, I needed to get the clips produced. And that's when knowing about the magic of green screen saved the day. Instead of shooting with the painting mess in the background, I placed a green screen behind me and shot the video. Then in my video editing program, I replaced the green screen with a background graphic, which created the illusion that I was sitting in a professional environment, instead of a construction zone. Creating green screen magic in your own videos can be extremely easy. In fact, after shooting the video, I created a short two minute tutorial showing how easy it can be. You can view my green screen video and the 'how to do it' at
