JOHNSON CO., Ind. (ADAMS) – One Indiana school is wishing they had put picture day on any other day besides St. Patrick’s Day.
School pictures are really fancy these days, and some photo companies use a GREEN SCREEN to make it look like the kids are sitting in a field of flowers . . . or in front of a farmyard fence.
And as you may know, a green screen works well . . . as long as the subject ISN’T wearing green. And there’s ONE DAY when a LOT of people are wearing green.
Parents of kids at an elementary school in Indiana just got their proofs from the school picture day, which was on St. Patrick’s Day. A lot of the kids were wearing green . . . naturally. And since the photographer was using a green screen, those students looked PARTIALLY INVISIBLE.
The mother of one child attending Sugar Grove Elementary School in Center Grove said her son’s full green attire created one hilarious photo. The mother told WTHR-TV her son entirely blended into the background, from the top of his green hoodie to his lime green shorts, all the way to his green mohawk.
The photo company, Inter-State Photography, says they wanted to get the early proofs to parents ASAP . . . before they put the finishing touches on them. And they say the green screen issue CAN be fixed in post-production.
But one mom got such a kick out of it that she wants to see if she can get the UN-FIXED version.
