As a TV viewer, I’m cool with green screen technology. I’m well aware that production teams don’t set up real explosions that the actors must jump away from to avoid the heat and shrapnel, although I’d appreciate it if they did, ugly-betty-green-screenespecially if that explosion was an unscripted one on the set of “Entourage.” But this excellent video lifts the curtain on just how much green screen is used in television. Like, there’s on scene from “Ugly Betty” where America Ferrera runs face first into a bus stop, only the bus stop is added with green screen technology. COME ON. I understand it’s expensive to do location shoots, but IT’S A BUS STOP. I’m probably the laziest person on the Eastern Seaboard, and even I’m like, “C’mon guys, go ahead and go outside.”
