Sheesh, just when I think I've got a handle on using green screen...

You'll notice the first few seconds of the video (after the opening title) are rough-looking as I'm sitting down... and then you get the hilarious See-Through Shirt Phenomenon!

I knew already that there are certain shades of green you can't wear against a green screen because the process will mask out those portions the closing and bleed the underlaid video through. What I didn't realize, because this is the first time I've worn this particular shirt against a green screen, is that my iMovie app was going to interpret the two different shades of green on my shirt as maskable areas!

It's not quite so obvious during the answer segments because they're against a white background, so it merely looks like I have no green on my shirt.

Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy the video!
