Whenever I think of the words “green screen,” I can’t help but picture those full-body green suits (with the head covering) worn by agile, acrobatic types.

So when my friend Steven Gladstone (of Gladstone Films) asked if I could help him out with a promo for the commerce site DealNews.com, of course I said yes – until he mentioned it’d be a green screen shoot. *gulp*

It’s okay Lipica, you’re a professional, no big deal, you can be acrobatic…

Fear always exacerbates the issue, blows it out of proportion. When I arrived at the studio to shoot, yes, there was a green screen – essentially a green backdrop, in front of which I would stand and deliver my lines. Oh. I can do that. Damn you, green body suit fear!

The shoot was wonderfully fun – Steve let me play a lot with creating my character and the end result is pretty hilarious, if I do say so myself. But you don’t have to take my word for it…
