I don't think that is the true reason why to use blue vs green screen today. Much more important deciding factor is the lighting - as Dave mentioned, a high luminosity of the fully lit green background will spill a lot of nasty green reflections on everything we want to keep in a picture, so for night scenes, we go with blue screen. We would also use the blue screen if we want to isolate any greenery (such as trees, bushes, etc), where of course a clear blue sky is amazing bluescreen for free :D. For daylight scenes, greenscreen is great, because we can then freely use a lot of blue shades on our outfits or props, and the green color spill can be successfully suppressed in post. Btw, just for you @mrsnoo86, the first reason why i wanted to reply to your post, was that I am not really sure if it wasn't exactly other way around in a past, that we woudl use bluescreens for small video camera shoots like some weather and similar lil nonsense, and use green screen when we went with film cameras for big commercials - or at least that would be my past experience.

Many professional cameras have a false colour facility. Here, the luminance values are temporarily mapped to a range of different colours. This makes it very easy to determine how evenly a green or blue screen is lit as any variation in light levels across the screen shows up as changes in colour which is much easier to see than the often very subtle variations in the shade of a single colour.

By far the absolute best channel for proving the idiocy of flat earthers. In detail explanations put forward in such a way that any layman (except flerfers) can understand. Keep it up!!

They are, but the reason here is a simple reaction to some trigger elements. Flattards only know that in cgi, some blue or green screen is used, so when they see a blue background, they immediately snap onto "must be cgi, because bluescreen==cgi" and fully stop there, no further explanation or research don. It's just a reflex for certain keywords

Loving your channel. My bf is a Flat Earther and I can show him your videos because they aren't condescending and insulting like some people when they talk about this topic. You stick to presenting the facts in an interesting way, and he's open to hearing them in this format. Thank you thank you thank you!

@9:20 "...forgot to edit out the background." But... there is background behind "the background". Soo... they added a bluescreen infront of another screen, be it blue or green? Hmm...

If flatearthers think it's for CGI then why can't THEY take that footage that they claim was "missed" and THEY can key out all of that stuff and do a basic background replacement? And then when/if they try and inevitably claim it's too hard but NASA has professionals, get them to key out a proper green screen and then ask them why NASA would choose the grid over a proper green screen.

All this talk about cgi seems irrelevant when you can actually see the iss flying overhead with the naked eye, or binoculars exactly at the times stated on the various tracking websites.

I love that cheeky little grin he has when the ball bounces off the camera. Man hit the bullseye he was aiming for!

If the conspiracy that the earth is flat was real then why wouldn’t NASA get the best of the best to work for them and never make a blunder like this?

For the same reason Avatar gets better actors who don't let go of the little green ball for no good reason and float out of the blue screen backdrop to catch it. You know how much it costs to make you appear to float out of the screen? Those guys are wasting tons of money for every little blunder! No wonder NASA is having budget issues. 😋

You have the most passive-aggressive explanations on YT yet and it brings a smile every time how easily you debunk FE stupidity by using simple fact that even a kiddie can understand. 10/10🏆

A blue screen with white lines on it is not a very good blue screen. That tells me the white grid is probably there for another reason, and that reason has nothing at all to do with blue screen/chroma key technology.

come in for the great debunking, stay for the doggo and the fantastic ad segues

Having to even point out any of these flaws is just ridiculous

Now whenever you wave a blue surface toward one of "those people", they will start screaming in confusion and agony, as their view of the world and reality crumble in front of their very eyes. For you see. CGI is everywhere and nowhere at the same time.

Spot on @Dave, having done green screening for some films of my own, you have to be careful with colours and lighting, just as Dave mentioned.

That sponsor transition was really good.

Honestly, your ad segues are always somewhere between "car crash" and "smooth as butter" and I love being here for the ride :)

That's awesome that you used a local weather clip (to me it's local) for your green screen discussion. It's KTHV (channel 11) here in Little Rock, Arkansas. The weather guy is Skot Covert.

God bless you dave. Your patience is admirable.

Stay in school kids, you dont want to end up like a flatard

Some time ago my sister showed me a whole TikTok compilation of supposed "faked" ISS footage, and I willingly sat there, watching the whole thing not because I believed anything in the compilation, but because I was heing charitable to her borderline insanity. I mean, you have to be insane to believe Flat Earth TikTok compilations claiming the ISS doesn't exist or that it does exist but nobody goes there anymore. I didn't have the expertise required to disprove everything in the compilation, and I still don't, but when I went to research the claims shown in the TikTok, I stunbled across your channel, where you repeatedly test and disprove claims, including many of the common videos clips passed around online, and I'm just glad someone has not only the sound state of mind to dismiss the beliefs of Flat Earthers, but also the experience and expertise to disprove them. That said, my sister doesn't take well to confrontation, especially when her own opinions and beliefs are being contested. So I sadly cannot share your videos with her.

Do it anyway. Start by telling her that she, as a firm and unshakeable believer on flat Earth, has nothing to fear from this channel. Follow by telling her that you want to know how she debunks this host. Not just say he is wrong, but why and how he is wrong, with facts and reasons. Maybe, just maybe, she'll start to actually Google stuff, like photography and CGI and FX - which would be a win. This channel is the best to recommend, because the host is never offensive. She won't feel personally attacked. At least, not directly. Please, look for a video in this channel that addresses one of your TikToks and make a try. Good luck. ✌

That would be an awful blue screen. Also why build a full fake set around the blue screen? Wouldn’t you make only the window blue or something? These people show they not only don’t know how the ISS works but also they don’t know how special effects work.

thank you for hawking the commercial !! ... i tried reading from their cue-cards, but i need more practice

The disingenuous part of the whole thing is that even after this stuff is explained to them, with evidence showing that it's true, they continue to bring it up again and again and again. For example, this blue screen bit was debunked with actual full-length footage showing what it's used for more than five years ago: - Quick One Minute Overview: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gqNh25eagsSWmZs.htmlsi=9L5qMkiwSbDePXGF - More detailed: kzread.info/dash/bejne/m5ud0NqrdtGZmso.htmlsi=cp2MS8h2COhW39CA Also... Why would NASA show this if they were trying to hide it? Similarly, why are there so many photos and video taken by NASA that anyone can download and analyze (including those underwater training videos) if they are trying to keep it a secret? And these have been available to the public since around the time of the original Apollo missions!

Able to enjoy quality space footage, top-tier knowledge on photography and video production, easy-to-follow scientific explanation, and for the icing on the cake, able to laugh on low intellectual level of flat earthers. This is truly a gem.

Let's face it, they don't understand photography, physics, or basic arithmetic.

As usual, flerfs having absolutely no idea what they are talking about.

There’s a problem with Flatzoid’s logic? 😮 How could that be? 😂 Lovely video as always and some of the before and after shots from real films are wonderful … and I loved the invisible weather lady 😂

Dave about the iss I have a question that your expertise in photography could help me, or anyone else who sees this comment and can help me. I’m trying to capture a transit next week during the afternoon, I don’t have a good telescope or a good camera. I have a refractor celestron and 3d printed an adapter for my ihpone12. I can’t shoot in raw, the transit is 1.27 seconds and angular size of iss 22”, which setting would be best? Slow mo 1080p 240fps, normal video 4K 60fps, normal video 1080p 60fps or burst photo? Also should I use auto fps to “reduce frame rate to optimize low light video”?

Dave, great video and as ever very well explained, yet another school day for me. Thanks for sharing! 🙂

If I see something I cannot understand I know immediately and with absolute certainty that it proves my prejudices are right.

Good on ya, Dave - brilliant work, as always.

A grid, as any Mythbuster viewer knows. Is about measuring the speed of passing from one grid line to the next. You needed to point that out. It is also useful for measuring the relative position of an object. The ball as it is moving forward, because of the grid, is easier to gauge speed and position.
