Just some interesting tidbit about color / signage. All outfield signs in MLB are not white either letters of background. It’s a shade of off white. MLB rules state cannot be white as same color as a baseball for hitters effect. Learned this a few years ago going thru MLB compliance
NHL has been using virtual ads for a few years now, usually in the net above the goal but they are testing virtual dasherboards now as well as on ice logos. NBA is a weird animal since so many of the sideline boards are owned by ESPN or TNT being sold as part of sponsor packages. Euro pro leagues are using virtual end line signage but the graphics are average at bestThe uni question is just like green screen usage in movies. You shoot the scene with the person or people in front of a green screen and then you remove that color editing, and insert any background you choose to replace it. Most of what you see as "on location" is shot on a small stage, and the background added to make it appear as being somewhere that's often exotic.
After you've seen it being done, and understand it, you can pick it out on shots fairly easily. A prime example of what they're talking about relates to something everyone has seen with baseball games. When you see the camera view from behind the pitcher, you will see billboards on the walls behind home plate, with constantly changing advertising. That's super-imposed ads, done with the magic of computers, it's not actually there. Though, in a few cases, they still use static boards back there. It's getting rare.
I believe so. And they followed up on that with virtual floor ads also. I’m many cases you can change some floor panels to accommodate logos so the entire floor does not have to be reset. But the instance you are describing i believe it’s virtualWhen the NBA played all their games in one location, didn't they use this technology to logo the floor for games? I don't think they spent all their time changing the logos between games.
