Green Screen
Steel Blue and Neorama are working on a video for San Francisco’s Transbay development. And if you’ve ever wanted to be immortalized in one of those mixed media renderings we love to feature, here’s your chance:

The video will largely consist of computer generated 3D models of the future San Francisco Transbay District and the Transbay Terminal. Live action capture of the San Francisco community shot against a green screen will be superimposed with the digital future vision. A series of scenes will be shot to show the experience of San Francisco residents enjoying the new elevated park, the future of Folsom Street, the transformation of Natoma Street and other developments. The producers are looking for plugged-in volunteers to spend a minute or two walking and talking in front of a green screen so they can be digitally inserted into a bustling retail space or standing amongst hundreds of other commuters enjoying the magnificent new designs.

Time: November 5, 2008. 10:00 am – 3:00 pm
Location: The Park between Market St. / Don Chee Way and Embarcadero / Steuart St.
We’ll see what we can do about hosting the premier party. And of course, don’t wear green.

  1. As of Midnight on November 4, 2008, the State of California Proposition 1A High Speed Rail is passing 51.8% to 48.2%. With a State wide lead of 226,532 votes out of 6,469,656 ballots cast (61.6% of precints reporting) the ballot measure may actually pass. The San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles County were the big pro High Speed Rail, while the rural communities did not support the measure.

    The final tally should be available on Wednesday.
    With the passage of this proposition we will look back on this day, as one of the most important in the history of our special city!!!

  2. But, was it ever decided whether or not the high speed trains would even go to “our special city”? Sacramento and San Jose and Oakland have more to gain than San Francisco as realistic high speed rail destinations.
