It looks like Apple is taking the casual filmmaker a little more seriously. Its latest update for iMovie for iOS -- out today -- comes with a new green screen effect, better still image support, 80 new soundtracks, graphic overlays and more.
How do you create a tattoo that has endless possibilities? Just do what they do in the movies. Use a green screen. I mean, it’s going to look weird on you, but at least you can add in all kinds of special effects shots digitally. That’s what this guy did. This may be the world’s first green screen tattoo.
Check out the video below of the Rick and Morty green screen tattoo inked by artist Roy Lee Rowlett on somebody’s leg. This definitely isn’t the first green screen tattoo,but it sure is awesome. I’m sure that Youtube users are going to have all kinds of fun inserting funny scenes into this image.
Right now you can check out a shot of the tattoo with no special effects and a video with the intro superimposed. So we have Rick and Morty watching Rick and Morty. On a tattoo. On somebodies leg. This is just as bizarre as the show!
Meanwhile, this guy is stuck with a big green tattoo, but I guess it works, and hey, at least he provided some entertainment for the rest of us. I can’t wait for the day we can have OLED tattoos embedded into our skin so they can actually display video on their own. That’s when I’m getting some. I like the idea of having animated cartoons on my body.
If you dug that, here’s another great green screen tattoo by new school artist Josh Herman…
It's already considered a grind to produce stop-motion video -- imagine creating a clip using the spreadsheet app that many dread seeing at work every morning. Joe Penna, better known to the internet as Mystery Guitar Man, isn't afraid. He and his team recorded a performance against a greenscreen, gave the video a mosaic look in After Effects and proceeded to recreate 730 of the frames in OpenOffice (and occasionally Excel)... by hand. We don't want to know how long it took Penna and crew to wrap up their work, but the result is probably the liveliest you'll ever get out of an app meant for invoices and corporate expenses. The fully produced video is above; click past the story break if you want to smash illusions and see how the pixelated rumba came to be.

Sound on!
