Chroma Key
Chroma key compositing, or chroma keying, is a Visual effects, visual-effects and post-production technique for compositing (layering) two or more images or video streams together based on colour hues (colorfulness, chroma range). The technique has been used in many fields to background subtraction, remove a background from the subject of a photo or video – particularly the newscasting, motion picture, and video game industries. A colour range in the foreground footage is made transparent, allowing separately filmed background footage or a static image to be inserted into the scene.

Kaleidoscope
A kaleidoscope () is an optical instrument with two or more reflecting surfaces (or mirrors) tilted to each other at an angle, so that one or more (parts of) objects on one end of these mirrors are shown as a symmetrical pattern when viewed from the other end, due to repeated reflection. These reflectors are usually enclosed in a tube, often containing on one end a cell with loose, colored pieces of glass or other transparent (and/or opaque) materials to be reflected into the viewed pattern. Rotation of the cell causes motion of the materials, resulting in an ever-changing view being presented. Etymology The term "kaleidoscope" was coined by its Scottish inventor David Brewster. It is derived from the Ancient Greek word (), "beautiful, beauty", (), "that which is seen: form, shape" and (), "to look to, to examine", hence "observation of beautiful forms". It was first published in the patent that was granted on July 10, 1817. History Multiple reflection by two or more r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
