      Hi guys, I was wondering: how many games were there that used blue screen actors in them. I am sure of:
      Phantasmagoria: Pray it’s only a nightmare
      Phantasmagoria: A puzzle of flesh
      The beast withen: A Gabriel Knight mystery
      Shivers

      Heart of China also used actors in front of a screen.

      But were they real persons or were they painted over (like Space Quest 5)?

      The hint book for HOC tells all about the making of the game. It states “Along with the use of live actors came the tricky task of combining the actors’ images with the over 200 hand-painted background images. Once each of the photoshoots were complete and matched with their storyboard sketches, they were entered into the computer using color scanners…and then cut out using electronic paint programs. Once the actors were laid on top of the digitized images of the hand-painted backgrounds and the two elements were blended together.”
