Green Screen Queen Scene

First off, a shout-out to Diane for dropping a nice tip in the tip jar. Thank you!

Traditions keep us grounded and sane, and Murray C. just sent in the perfect marriage of two traditions, one old and one new: the 90th birthday of Queen Elizabeth, its pomp and parade reminding us of our place in civilization’s vast history; and the Internet tradition of digitally altering the crap out of everything.

In this case, Her Majesty’s lime green coat was a perfect match for the green-screen color used in special effects. And somebody decided the Queen needed more Queen:

Oh, but there’s so much more. Murray C. sent in this page at Bored Panda that shows the Queen transformed into everything from The Riddler to a walking weather map. We are amused.

    Thank you Internet. Queen(s) Rock!!

    When I saw her outfit on the news I thought they can green screen anything on that! And we did.

    I wonder who if anyone will show some of those to her.
    I can see Prince Harry maybe doing it.

      Yes, someone in the palace will discreetly inform her Majesty and more the Mistress of the Wardrobe that her Majesty is to NEVER wear this shade again!

        I really can’t fathom why someone would voluntarily wear that shade of green in the first place!

          Hear, hear.

          To be SEEN. She’s a tiny woman, and it’s hard for her to stand out in a crowd. And people want to SEE her. So she wears bright colors. Hey, the next day she wore a pink that was nearly this bright!

            Is that really why she wears the bright colors? Well it certainly works!

              Remember that awful yellow outfit she wore to Prince Williams’ wedding? With the weird scalloping around the neck?

              One of the commentators said that this was to remind everyone that she was more or less the SUN and everything/everyone revolved around her.

                What I remember from THAT wedding was the assortment of bizarre hats!! Had to google the dress, which was understated compared to what everyone else wore! It also seemed like a COAT with the overlap on the front, but a more recent pic showed her “recycling” the dress, and there was no seam or flap down the front. So at the wedding was she wearing a coat and dress that are exactly the same?!

                  I think it was one of Fergie’s daughters who wore THE most awful attention-rip-off hats – it was ludicrous and in such poor taste, like a lyre sprouting out of her head.

                    You mean this monstrosity?!?

                      Yes, it’s like a tiny, be-ribboned toilet seat!

                      I love the Queen’s atomic-lime outfit – if I reach 90 I’ll dress like that!

                    • Murray C. June 14, 2016 / 9:19 pm

                      Oh, goody, I get to see and deride it yet again. first off, I wish I’d been in on the meeting where they thought this was a good design to begin with and then when they all sold the idea to this little missy (sniggering behind their hands as they did so!? Ooooh, so catty – hee, hee.)

    I always know when I submit something that whatever it may be, it’s in good hands with Mike. thanks, NTMTOM.

    I truly love the Queen, as in Elizabeth Regina, no bs, seriously–but! as I am in a completely ‘devil may care’ attitude these past two days, I really, really want someone to display the band Queen’s album liner imagery of ‘Fat Bottomed Girls’ on her ‘green screen’. And on that note, I am off to bed.

      Wise move.
