There's nothing like the magic of behind the scenes in Hollywood!

There are so many effects in our favourite TV show and movies that we didn't know are there, all thanks to CGI (computer generated imagery) and the humble green screen, that can seemingly turn nothing at all into something spectacular.

HOW IT WORKS

Although they're called green screens - they are not ALWAYS green.

They can sometimes be blue, or of any other colour, providing no actors have this colour on any of their outfits.

When scenes are shot, special software enables the blue or green screen to be selected and made transparent.

Then it's up to those in post-production to create the required enviroment suitable to the scene, as you'll see below!

Allow me to kick off with one of my favourite movies...
