This page will have some more words soon, I promise. If there is a word you hear a lot but have no idea what it means eMail me and I will find it for you!

Chroma Keying: Using a solid color background, usually pure blue or green(aka chroma blue/chroma green), so that during editing the background can be replaced with something else. Pure green and blue is selected because they are not naturally occuring colors in human skin. Plus most people don't wear pure green because it is rather bright :).

Stop Motion: Taking a picture moving the actors and scenery taking another picture... Then when all the frames are viewed together a smooth animation is produced depending on the amount of distance the moving parts were moved between each snapshot.
