Green screens and the World series

[clarkage]

Just today i was watching the world series and i noticed that behind the batter and too the left they use a green screen to advertise. They show some shots where you can see the green screen but in others you can see where they fill in with the advertisement. I had never seen that before and thought it was interesting!

GO ROCKIES!!!!

Yup, they have been using that since the playoffs last year. Pretty cool.

I'd love to see the come-from-behind-Bosox lose after going up 3-0.

It's the drama queen in me.

GO ROCKIES!

I'm a hard core Yankees fan so I'm definitely hopeing the Rockies can pull through. I never knew they used green screens, cool.

The green screen has been there for several seasons. I think over 5 years maybe more.

yeah, I've seen it for a while. But in this WS, I actually saw a green-card they handed out to a fan, I guess. A fan was holding up a card, and on it was like a Chevy ad. Moving. Like a little commercial running on the card she was holding up. the only thing I could imagine was that they handed out green cards...

I'm pretty sure they've had it for even more than 5 seasons. I remember a distant cousin telling me about it and I haven't seen him in about 8 years.

I'll have to look out for the ads on green cards... never would have imagined that would ever happen.

Don't let someone from another country read this or they're be flocking to baseball games... :cheesy:

That's a new one. I have not seen that before. Probably a network guy that they have in the crowd or something.

Yeah, the green screens have been there for quite a while now. The composite can only be seen on the OTS of the pitcher though. All other cameras see green for some reason, probably due to the angle I imagine.
