"Beam me up BFX!"  Star Trek is famous for the transporter effect and Erik shows you how to recreate it using two methods: cheap and super-cheap.  You can definitely reproduce the transportation effect using fancy software programs in post-production, but in true DIY fashion, Erik utilizes the practical method used in the original series.   You can also download the file of the effect below.

  • The real fx was not done with the glitter despite popular belief. Recent release shows it was done with wait for it, plop plop fiz fiz, you got it Alka Seltzer. I don't recall the article URL it may have been from the phase II group.

  • @pieboy966 You can't.

    The whole idea of a green screen or chromakey is to block everything behind it. The only way you can do that is to move the feeder, take a picture of it, put the feed back and then film. When you key out the green screen place the pic behind the footage and it will show through. Think of a green scren as a hole in the video that lets you see that is behind the video NOT the item being keyed out. Kind of like cutting a hole in a picture and looking through it
