Thanks for sharing.

Chunkey · Dec 2009

whoa nice!

never realised how many shows used these processes, just shows how good these guys are.

Damn thats cool stuff there. I really like how they composite certain parts of the scenes in layers. What programs did they used to do that? Aftereffects or Shake?

.06 on teh vid the newspaper is see through. FIRED! They needed to key that so it wasn't picking up the greenscreen.

carlo_c · Dec 2009

Wow, awesome I didn't realise so many shows used this stuff like Chunkey said!

Ugly Betty needs a green screen? I never would of guessed it.

The shots in the clip look so nice they do great work!!!!!

DarthNater · Dec 2009

Nice stuff there. I never realized how many shows used screens, especially those smaller ones in the middle of the streets.

Wow, thats insane! So flawless to. Only noticable in a few shots that its CG. I guess I always thought that drama shows were on location. Pretty cool to know!

Mark Dygert · Dec 2009

Awesome. When they do their job you never know. It makes a lot of sense though. Not having to fight city permits, the weather, crowds and lighting.

Rick Stirling · Dec 2009

And not shooting on location must save a massive amount of cash. I wonder how much those shots cost? Back in the day Airwolf was costing 1 million USD per episode, I assume they could CG a huge chunk of that these days.

Bring back Airwolf.

Sometimes it's obvious it's greenscreened but I would never guess it's done so commonly.

TWilson · Dec 2009

Ditto! Really surprising how common they're being used.

ScoobyDoofus · Dec 2009

It looks like some of those shots have been touched up or gotten additional love for the reel, because as I recall that shot of Hiro from Heroes as being an AWFUL composite(green spill everywhere), yet in that reel it looked flawless.
