  Perhaps some note to AE users…pioneer in effects passes

  Posted by Ken Latman on June 4, 2006 at 11:46 pm

  I thought it might be important to note that since I read a lot of posts regarding keying and green screen, the Associated Press is reporting that Arthur Widmer who developed blue screen technology for the movie industry has passed (06/04/06).
  It may not be a place to post in AE, but I think we probably owe a lot to the start of the effects biz to this guy.

  I wouldn’t like making movies as much as if I didn’t owned a green screen. To you, my friend!

  Thx for posting Ken.

  Thanks for letting me know Ken,

  I have used a lot of Chroma keying in my career. I owe a lot to this fine gentleman, may he rest in peace in the big Blue sky.

  Thanks for the heads-up on this, Ken. I had to pop by the CNN site and read the story. I appreciate you taking the time to post this.
