Uni Blog Ash Ingham: The History of VFX part 2

Yellow Screen.

There is only few cameras in the which can do this and they are all owned by Disney. A specially coated prism in a covereted film camera captured it onto a black and white film while the normal light was captured to the regular 3 colour strip.

While the sodium vapour process produced some of the best results for composting this way only disney had the cameras, and they didn't rent them out.

So then film makers and to refine the blue screen technique until it as good as disney's yellow screen.

Then it moves into the today with the green screen because it was easier to light than blue and in most clothing for actors it wasn't that common and with the industry using digital film now the sensors capture trice the amount of green as they do blue or red, making it easier to key a green screen.

Toy Story.

The first ever completely computer generated film.

Pixar created all the computer imagery for the production.

Double Negative.

Is a studio created specifically to provide VFX support to a film.

They are renowned for their work on the 'Dark Knight' trilogy and the 'Harry Potter' series

I'm ending with this studio because there are many other out there but within the last 100 years of film VFX it has expanded so much from the simplest trick of illusion to full on CGI films such as Pacific Rim and Iron Man.
