Green Screen Virtual Travel
Bringing the
outside world virtually to those who are shut in
Do you know someone who is shut in maybe because of illness or old
age? Do they have limitations that prevent them from getting outside and enjoying a normal life? Our father
was like this. His age had gotten to the point where it was impossible for him to go outside of his home
anymore. Being an active and social person, it was hard for him not to be doing activities with the rest of
his family. He longed to travel and would talk of vacations we had been on as a family. His favorite place
was Hawaii.
My sister and I decided that if we couldnt make the real
thing happen, we could do this for him virtually. So we brought our green screen sheet and laid it behind him in
his bed and filmed him as if he was in Hawaii. We talked with him about what he would do there, and then he began
to sing Blue Hawaii. We combined this film footage with video we actually took on one of our trips to Hawaii. When
my dad watched it, he actually thought he had gone
there. See the video below.
The Fish in this video were a nice
addition by his granddaughters.
Maybe you can think of things your family or
friend, who is shut in, would like to do. You can even fulfill a fantasy with the use of a green screen.
Maybe they loved a certain movie, put them in it. Have them travel the world. It could even be something
simple. Maybe they are sad about not being able to get out to enjoy a party or a wedding. Film the
occasion and then film them on a green screen and with
editing bring the two films together to make it appear they were there.
What a nice surprise when they watch themselves as part of the occasion.
If you are not familiar with how to edit with green screen, just
film the occasion and then film them with a green sheet behind them and bring the two films to Tears of Joy
Video. We will be glad to help you fulfill a dream for your loved one, even if it is virtually. Just the
thought of going to the trouble of making this type of video to make them feel apart of the
occasion will mean so much to them. We will never forget what it meant to our dad.
