Green Screen Virtual Travel
Bringing the outside world virtually to
those who are shut in
Do you know someone who is shut in maybe
because of illness or old age? Do they have limitations
that prevent them from getting outside and enjoying a
normal life? Our father was like this. His age had gotten
to the point where it was impossible for him to go
outside of his home anymore. Being an active and social
person, it was hard for him not to be doing activities
with the rest of his family. He longed to travel and
would talk of vacations we had been on as a family. His
favorite place was Hawaii.
My sister and I decided that if we couldnt make the real thing
happen, we could do this for him virtually. So we brought our
green screen sheet and laid it behind him in his bed and filmed
him as if he was in Hawaii. We talked with him about what he
would do there, and then he began to sing Blue Hawaii. We
combined this film footage with video we actually took on one
of our trips to Hawaii. When my dad watched it, he actually
thought he had gone there.
See the video below.
The Fish in this video were a nice
addition by his granddaughters.
Maybe you can think of things your family or
friend, who is shut in, would like to do. You can even
fulfill a fantasy with the use of a green screen. Maybe
they loved a certain movie, put them in it. Have them
travel the world. It could even be something simple.
Maybe they are sad about not being able to get out to
enjoy a party or a wedding. Film the
occasion and then film them on a green screen and
with
editing bring the two films together to make it appear
they were there. What a nice surprise when they watch
themselves as part of the occasion.
If you are not familiar with how to edit
with green screen, just film the occasion and then film them
with a green sheet behind them and bring the two films to Tears
of Joy Video. We will be glad to help you fulfill a dream for
your loved one, even if it is virtually. Just the thought
of going to the trouble of making this type of video
to make them feel apart of the occasion will mean so much to
them. We will never forget what it meant to our
dad.
