See the green light reflection on the arm of the user indicates the screen of the laptop is green. that means he makes a common FX used in video called chroma inlay. the inlaid video was previously recorded then played and synchronized with the shot…

He’s put some green screen material over the screen and used a chroma key effect. The computer can’t be used to display a green screen due to luminosity and colour variations inherent in an LCD when it’s turned. The two giveaways that this is done with chromakey are:

a) about the 7 sec mark there is some break up in the upper left corner where the green screen wasn’t quite flat or had some variation.
b) around the edges of the screen you’ll see periodic variations in sharpness as the matte isn’t flat, so there are variations when the key is applied.

Nice trick.

actually the computer in use in this video is an HP I own an identical model. It looks nothing like a mac. Please do research first before posting useless comments
Thanks

Hmm…it seems to me that there is just plastic in the place of the laptop’s screen. I could tell because of shines. If it was a green screen thing, I think the sines wouldn’t be there.

But seeing all the different responses, I want to know from the original person who made this…How did you do it? Just so I know…XDD

Some of the edges are fuzzy, making me think the computer and person are a second video, and the background is blue-screened in. Then, in the overlay, the computer screen was probably green or blue, and blue-screened also.

you are totally right, this video simply shows a guy who has removed the original LCD screen and attached a clear plexiglass panel where the LCD screen would go. And dont start screaming no one would break a 2500 laptop for some illusion. Guess what, you dont have to break anything. If you know your way around a lap top, you can remove the LCD from the top and then use some old junk screen from a spare parts scrap store, replace the LCD within the laptop frame with a clear plexiglass peice, and voila, you now have an invisible screen
