Green Screen & Audio Recording Coming Soon
If you've been to the Digital Innovation Hub at the Toronto Reference Library within the past couple of months, you might have seen the white tarp and have noticed the noise at times.
Well the tarp is down, and the secret is getting harder to keep quiet. Library customers soon can'take advantage of the new Green Screen/Production Space this fall. We’re still ironing out the details and getting the equipment ready and tuned up.
What's that behind the door?
If you've ever wanted a space to work to do any video production, video recording, or audio recording then this is the space for you.
Equipment will be on hand for you to use, including video cameras and microphones along with a few software applications to help record your project at the perfect settings.
The technology that is being used to get rid of the background and replacing it with a different image is called chroma keying. This can be done with any other colour as long as it's distinct from the actor in front of it. You will want to ensure that you wear something different than the colour of the screen, or it won't work. Green and blue backgrounds are certainly the most popular because they differ most distinctly in hue from most human skin colours.
Hub staff Greg and Tony checking out the renovations early this summer.
Keep your eyes peeled on the blog as this is the first place we’ll post all the details about when and how you can book the room shortly.

Pretty Cool stuff happening at the Digital Innovation Hub ..
So, am I to understand it is open now or will the NEW Green Screen/Production Space be having a Grand Opening at a up coming date very soon.
I guess we best sign up for any video and audio classes in preparation to use our skills in the Green Screen/Production.
Any word on the new software applications you will be using ?
Sound Check, CAMERA, ACTION..and ROLLIN !
How SUPER is this .. Our Digital Innovation Hub has even more amazing facilities to learn and develop our skills .. with the staff to help us along the way to success ..
It’s movie making time .. all at the Toronto Reference Library Digital Innovation Hub where they give you the tools and skills to do things in tech you didn’t think you could ever get done and amaze yourself in the hands on experience of learning.
Looks great. A painted surface is better that wrinkly muslin. What are you doing for lights? And, do you have a tentative opening day?
Also, I see you list a Canon Vixia HGF20 available for library patrons to use. Would that actually be a Vixia HF G20 model? And, do you have any tripods for the cameras?
