step1: set up camcorder on tripod
step2: make entire screen of laptop a bright color (green or blue)
step3: film some static image of the desk
setp4: (with camera in same place) move laptop arround (with said above colored screen)
step5: capture footage into your fav video editing app (final cut, premiere, avid, etc) and use the chroma key funtion to replace the empty video (step 3) at 100% with the laptop
step6: profit

if i get bored tonight I might play with it

I might just try this to, but I don't have anything cool to shoot it on. All I have is a corner. Friday night boredom got to love it. Post pictures to see how you made out.

looks half decent, I need another channel of chroma key, as you can see when I go onto dashboard it dims the green (which I didn't realize)

but it still looks cool

and yes, I know my basement is a mess, but it works

I think the key thing you are missing is that the original kept the laptop at rougly the same angle, whereas you are moving it around too much. LCD's will appear to change color at different angles (no matter how good they are) and this could be messing up the chroma keying, along with creating glare at a few points from the lights.

Otherwise, not too shabby.

yeah, i noticed that too, part of it was dashboard dims the rest of the screen

Actually in my opinion, that video was very good. You deserve a cookie.

thanks, I need to play with it some more, I think doing another chroma key will help

I like cookies.

Anyone else agree that Tekie should do a demonstration of this at the lan?

my transperent monitor, or how to make it?

what would be really cool would be to take a small camera and mount it to the back of your screen and have it do it in realtime

Mr.Tibbs · « **Reply #26 on:** June 18, 2006, 08:19:43 PM »

Both, I must say that would be cool to have a camera running full time as the screen. But yes a little of both.
