    Image Associates LLC shot videos for the WV Housing Development Fund on Saturday in Admix Broadcasting's studio. The use of the green-screen allows us to key in any background we want behind the actress. Green is currently used as a backdrop more than any other color because image sensors in digital video cameras are most sensitive to green, due to the bayer pattern allocating more pixels to the green channel, mimicking the human eye's increased sensitivity to green light. Therefore, the green camera channel contains the least "noise" and can produce the cleanest key/matte/mask. Additionally, less light is needed to illuminate green, again because of the higher sensitivity to green in image sensors. In the edit, we select green and eliminate it leaving a clean background that we can drop anything into. In this case it will be animation behind her.

    Sharon Harms of Image Associates was recently commissioned to do a painting of the Mountaineer Statue in Morgantown for the cover of the West Virginia Lottery Annual Report. Although the statue actual sits in front of a brick wall, Harms chose to paint it in front of glorious West Virginia mountains.
