The Green Screen LA and The Ambitious Attorney

By Phil Guye

In a world of exhausting resources and an economy that is doing everything it can to stay afloat, there are lots of doctors, attorneys and corporate professionals who are doing all that they can to market their talents. They're trying their best to make folks believe that their technique of doing things are the best and that there can be no doubt that the charges that they charge are justified. Where does the green screen LA fit into the area of these ambitious people? It is clearly not hard to think how and why these pros can employ one of the most ingenious methods of film making to further their own ends, financially and otherwise.

Take the case of the formidable attorney; he's a person who has graduated from a good law faculty with the sole intention of making it big not only on the legal front, but in politics as well . Law and politics are always interlinked and any literate person, with a modicum of astuteness will be able to decode why the solicitor went in pursuit of the best cameraman in the photographic industry. He knows the person troubled must be an inventive genius when it came to making use of the green screen LA. He also knew that this cameraman could make a short video of him that would leverage him to larger heights as a lawyer.

So there he was, this attorney who confessed that he could save just about anyone all suited and booted, a look of practiced shrewdness on his face, waiting for potential customers to fall for his talk, hook, line and sinker. Fall, they did; he succeeded in getting at least ten new clients in the 1st week after the video was released. But where did the green screen LA come in? The cameraman had used the green screen technique to snap the attorney in front of the plain green screen. This was digitally removed and an image of a courtroom (with witnesses, judge and jury, all attending) was superimposed. The possible client got a taste of what it was like to be in a courtroom, with a smart and savvy counsel arguing his case.

This is only the start of a long list of things that may be done using the green screen LA. All you need is the right sort of apparatus, the proper lighting equipment and above all, a huge quantum of creative resourcefulness. A mix of all 3 is sure to take you places that you haven't ever been to ; reinforcing your image just as that of the solicitor.

Today, there are lots of folks who get professional cameramen and videographers to put together the most bizarre of videos just for the heck of it. Ladies in bikinis standing against the backdrop of a tundra icescape or aliens visiting the empire state building are only two such mad image. There's no doubt that the green screen LA feature is here to stay.
