    I like how Tom always talks to us like we are on a train that's starting to slowly pull away from the station, and he's jogging along side it trying to give us profound life-changing information before we never see each other again.

      Fun fact: the problem at hand isn't our eyes, it's how our brains perceive something. Imagine it like the uncanny valley, but for location. Your facial recognition, depth perception, and spacial awareness are all at the same time saying "hold up, something's wrong" even if you yourself don't realize it.

      On the technical side, if his skin was still a tan in the parallel universe there would have to be quite a lot of work out in to make his face not blend in with the green screen mainly because a skin tone has more red than green, so green screens are usually a better option. I know this was a joke btw.

    In college we had to make a video that combined filmed footage and 3D rendering. The single biggest mistake people made was that the filmed footage was a bit blurry (as we didn't have great equipment), and the 3D renders were super sharp. You could have everything else right, and it still seems wrong if you add crystal sharp renders on blurry footage.
    So I just blurred the renders and it looks a 1000 times more convincing.

      C'mon, don't give me that. Here we are clicking on your videos because we thought you were a smart guy.
      Even with a 2-inch screen on my phone, it's so obvious. BTW they did more than simply "reference" the bad FX of low-budget 1980s/1960s television programming... This is a DIRECT LAMPOON / PARODY. And they were already "taking your advice" (4:03) to make it deliberately bad WAAAY before you "Noticed it" and graciously pointed it out for them. The producers thank you for your feedback.
      To prove my point, I could dwell on the more obvious reasons/evidence, but I'll skip to The Clincher:
      ...it's BIG-BANG THEORY getting their Dream-Come-True "StarTrek" episode which they've been sleepjaculating about since before even scripting the pilot.

      This can be countered if you use a dark grey screen / Black screen, as the colour doesn't bleed into the edges of the subject, so the edges can be left more natural looking without having to desaturate them. It all depends on the colour of the subject in question.. Green screen is not the only option, and may not be the best choice for your subject. If you can use one, a black screen will give much better results.

      Umm, _ackchyually,_ you don't even have to own a physical greenscreen for the info about it to be useful. If you use footage made by someone else, you can cut out object frame by frame, and place them on a greenscreen for pre-rendering - TH-cam poopers do that all the time (not only them, other video editors also use it, but they most notably).
      In fact, digital greenscreen (which is just an image of the very bright, specific shade of green) and the "chroma keyer" tool are one of the most used video effects by editors.

      ⁠@@Lumiesfinetoo dollying means physically moving the camera closer to or further from what’s being filmed. And I think anyone watching this understands what zooming in and out means.
      Dollying in and zooming out (or vice versa) have roughly opposite but not exactly opposite effects. So if you do both simultaneously at the right rates, you can keep the subject in the middle of the frame and have the affect that’s shown at 3:42.

      A reason why I know blue is one of the colours that work great: a specific shade of light blue pen/pencils are used by people who animate and also those who scans their sketches - the colour of that blue is easy for programs to not recognise, and therefore, the outline is more clean

      My guess would be that Tom prefers to be on the left side or the middle, and that shot works much better flipped so he's not going straight through a car, or jumping from one side of the screen to the other.

    Another simple problem with green screen
    People sit too close to the green screen and when lighting themselves the green screen itself reflects some of the green light back in to them screwing with the keying.
