Making use of greenscreen

greenscreen or bluescreen can be used in many different ways to achieve the desired shot. Here are some ways it was utilised by fleet for Timeless

1. The show’s ‘Lifeboat’ was sometimes a full-sized prop positioned on set, behind which greenscreen panels could be placed to add in different backgrounds.

2. Other times, the actors would emerge from a greenscreen-covered proxy of the Lifeboat, with the timetravel vehicle replaced in CG.

3. On locations, a bluescreen buck of the Lifeboat served as a stand-in, which the actors could then emerge from or enter convincingly during the shoot.
