OSCAR-WINNING BLUE AND GREEN SCREEN LEGENDARY INNOVATOR PETROS VLAHOS DIES...

(...)The visual effects industry has paid tribute to Petro Vlahos - the pioneer of blue- and green-screen systems.

The techniques allow filmmakers to superimpose actors and other objects against separately filmed backgrounds.

He developed the procedure for 1959's Ben-Hur and then went on to win an Oscar in 1964 after creating a related process for Disney's Mary Poppins.
