Blending Photos to Create "Green Screen" Gems

A favorite assignment among all of the ones I give at SC State is the "Where I Want To Be" project.  It involves using chromakey (or chroma key), a technology technique also commonly called green screen.  The effect is seen all the time on television weather reports.

Here are my two latest "green screen" photography creations, using Adobe Premiere Pro for the process that is pretty easy to achieve if you follow these steps.  It can also be done with video clips.

This a photo I took a few years ago on the Caribbean island of Aruba.

I chose it, one, because it has space on the lower right side to insert an image of yours truly.

And, two, I really want to go back to Aruba someday!  It's so beautiful there!

Prezi Next Embed Steps

Prezi Next is new and exciting, but is not as easy to embed into a blog as was Prezi Classic.

But there is a way to do it.  This link explains the steps. 

Below is the code that must be copied and pasted into the Blogger post template in the HTML mode, not Compose.

The URL address for the new Prezi is copied then pasted in the code to replace the red writing. Keep the word embed at the end of the code.

This Prezi presentation is unfinished, but I posted it anyway to show my students how embedding is done in the Prezi Next version.  I'm surprised Prezi has made this step, which was so easy to do and demonstrated in Prezi Classic, so much more difficult!
