Dance Around Up There

One day on our recent vacation, I took the girls to the Des Moines Science Center. For some reason we were almost the only people in the place. We really had the whole facility to ourselves. It was great. The kids could play with any of the exhibits for as long as they wanted and they didn't have to wait for other kids to finish or rush through the fun.

They have a TV news studio there. I assume they use for broadcast television classes and the like. The best part is that it came fully equipped with a green screen. I saw the potential to get some footage and then maybe key something in behind the kids later. So I said to Annabel, "Why don't you go up on that stage and dance around up there. I'll take a video". And up she went, followed by her sister who clearly thought we were taking a still photo (note her smiling and saying "Cheese"). I especially like the fact that Annabel has her purse on her arm through the whole thing.

I'm trying to figure out what to put behind Annabel on the green screen.
