The green channel is the cleanest on digital cameras and therefore the sensors deliver less noise. Because of this, green screens are by far [more] popular [than blue screens]. Extremely versatile, green screens work great for indoor, outdoor or studio shoots.

With modern digital cameras, the green color is processed the cleanest with the most luminance. The result is that you'll often be able to pull a clean key with the least amount of noise, and often, without a complicated lighting setup. Conversely, because of green's brightness, it can also lead to more "spill," meaning the green color may reflect and bleed over on your on-screen talent. ... To combat this, ensure that there is sufficient distance between the talent and the green screen background. Green is also an ideal choice if you're compositing in a "daytime" background. Any leftover green can blend better into daytime footage, while it's more challenging to blend green against a darker (or nighttime) background. 5, record 4, English, - green%20screen

Visual awareness primarily involves seeing what is directly in front of you, but it can be influenced by a three-dimensional representation of the object in view retained by the brain. If you see the back of a person's head, the brain infers that there is a face on the front of it. We know this is true because we would be very startled if a mirror revealed that the front was exactly like the back. 1, record 12, English, - visual%20awareness

Brief flashes of colored light enable researchers to infer the minimum time required for visual awareness. A disk of red light is projected for 20 milliseconds, followed immediately by a 20- millisecond flash of green light. But the observer reports seeing a single flash of yellow, the color that would be apparent if red and green were projected simultaneously. The subject does not become aware of red followed by green until the length of the flashes is extended to 60 to 70 milliseconds. 1, record 12, English, - visual%20awareness

La perception visuelle consciente est bien plus riche que la vision pure et simple : le cerveau conserve en mémoire une certaine représentation tridimensionnelle de l’objet regardé. Quand nous voyons la tête d’une personne qui nous tourne le dos, notre cerveau en déduit qu’il existe un visage de l’autre côté. Nous considérons cette proposition comme vraie et nous serions très étonnés si un miroir renvoyait une image du devant de la tête exactement identique à la vue arrière. 1, record 12, French, - perception%20visuelle%20consciente

Grâce à des stimuli visuels brefs de lumière colorée on étudie le temps minimal nécessaire à la perception visuelle consciente. Une tache de couleur rouge est projetée pendant 20 millisecondes et remplacée immédiatement par une tache de lumière verte, pendant la même durée. L'observateur ne voit qu'une seule tache de couleur jaune, qu'il verrait également si les deux couleurs étaient projetées simultanément. Le sujet ne commence à percevoir la succession rouge-vert que lorsque les éclairs durent au moins 60 à 70 millisecondes. 1, record 12, French, - perception%20visuelle%20consciente

There are almost as many ways of illuminating trees as there are botanical varieties of them. Individual trees are so variable in shape, even within a single variety, and groups of trees exhibit such an extraordinary variety of form, that each tree-lighting assignment merits being approached afresh, with no preconceived notions of any "ideal" effect or "ideal" lighting solution. 1, record 13, English, - tree%20lighting

L'éclairage des arbres et arbustes de grande taille. Plaçons la source lumineuse sous les végétaux mais, juste sous les branchages, si le feuillage est aéré et permet ainsi la pénétration des rayons lumineux, ou à bonne distance du tronc, si le feuillage est épais et souligne alors la silhouette de la frondaison. Réservons, par exemple, la lumière blanche pour les bouleaux et la lumière verte ou bleue pour les conifères. Les spots seront plus ou moins puissants selon le volume à éclairer. 1, record 13, French, - %C3%A9clairage%20des%20arbres
