Green Screen Toy Puts You Inside The Movies

Things have changed since I was a kid. Back at the end of the 1970s, while my brother was singing into a hairbrush in front of the mirror (thankfully he manned-up later in life), I was watching a Saturday morning TV spot on Industrial Light and Magic, the FX team behind Star Wars, demonstrating blue-screen shooting*.

Fast-forward thirty-something years and not only have hairbrushes become pass?, but blue screens turned green and this magnificent future-tech is now available at home. Yoostar is a green-screen kit which comes complete with “studio-grade webcam” (whatever that is), green-screen, stand and remote control. Now, you could use this to make your own amazing films, but instead Yoostar wants you to defile the memories of great movies in your own virtual hairbrush/microphone game, and to this despicable end 12 movies scenes are included for your insertion pleasure.

Further, once you are bored of these, there is a whole marketplace where you can buy extra clips for $2 each. This appears to be very much like the cellphone ringtone market: overpaying for snippets. The Yoostar kit will cost $170 and has one saving feature. There are clips available from the best movie ever made, a movie I have seen almost 50 times. A movie whose dialog I know backwards. What is it? Here’s your clue:

Oh well, he’s very popular, Ed. The sportos and motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies, dickheads – they all adore him. They think he’s a righteous dude.

*Yes, Saturday morning TV was a lot better back then.
