update: I should have read Tracy's blog since she wrote about a similar topic.  While she posted first, I have a picture.  Take that!!!

We had some visitors this weekend into the Channel 6 Studios.  The favorite part always involves some aspect of the chromakey used to project the weather maps behind the meteorologist.

In this case, Tiger Cubs from Troop 378 jumped and improvised on the weather set.  Jim Flowers provided an added benefit -- a green cloth that matches the walls of the area so that anything that resembles the color will get weather maps shown on screen.  In effect, you see their heads but no bodies.  Or if you put the cloth on your head, you see your headless body.

Tonight's example:

If this could be recreated cheaply, I suspect a chromakey wall and the cameras and equipment that come with it would be a popular gift for any child.
