WML? CBS question
« on: August 18, 2013, 03:36:14 AM »
This may sound like a very trivial question to some, but speaking as a person who has only seen the show in black and white:


What color(s) were the walls on the final CBS set of What\'s My Line?


EDIT: Can someone move this?

I\'ve heard, probably here, that they were blue.

Ah, makes sense, I guess. I always assumed it was light tan, because it was designed before the show went to color.

Blue was common because blue filmed very well for black and white broadcasting.

Is similar logic the reason behind everything in Mayberry being green?

Speaking of blue and green working well, were chroma-key shots common (in the style of, say, Green Screen Adventures on WCIU) in this era?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qY8rQJAQ_4I\'>This 1964 local weather broadcast may answer that question for you.

(Spoiler alert: it has puppets, but no chroma-key.)
