I remember seeing this on TV soooo long ago as a kid. Probably when it first came on. I was like "Wh- that is SO COOL! I want to paint my walls the color Al."
From season 3, “Blow Up.” I love this bit, I wish we knew exactly how they did it. I do see some slight green around the edges, so maybe it was green paint and they did Green screen effects lol
See now I wonder if this was green paint with greenscreen effects, or if they had a glossy image of Al under the canvas with a simple white water soluble mixture that TIm could remove with just the brush and some water. Given how he takes the time to fix Paint Al's hair very, VERY accurately, I'm assuming the latter.
the funniest thing about the green screen bit is the audience is laughing at tim painting the color green, only having been told Al will show up in post.
fdsman Maybe they did a mock up on set or later on or they shot the reaction of them looking at the finished video on another episode. You’re probably right, though.
I always assumed they did a reversal. Where there was wet, white paint covering a picture of Al, and Tim was brushing paint thinner to remove the paint.
I thought they just did it by having the audience look at the monitors. You can see a few of them in the cutaway to the audience looking up. Given it's meta nature of being set inside a TV studio, it's not unreasonable.
I thought they might be using some kind of cleaning solution on a this coat of something over the image. So that instead of 'painting the image' he is really just uncovering it. But i guess that would have been just as expensive and not look as smooth.
@@spectre111 The "strip away a coat over the image" was a thing done in Mission Impossible. A shame they didn't use it, it would have worked with a live audience...
If you look carefully at the bucket Tim carries from the paint machine over to the wall, you can see there is green paint inside. I assume that they used green screen technology to pull off the effect.
@@lojosol you can make some sort of liquid that acts as a green screen? I thought green screens were already hooked up to the computer and whatnot. Personally it just looks like they covered the front of it with something and used the brush to wipe it away as if they were painting. Least that seems the most likely to me ^^
@@killeing green screen works by applying the superimposed image over anything that is green, which is why this works. It’s also why you never see anyone wearing green when they are doing things like the news
Imagine the conversation you'd have with your spouse about what color to paint the baby's room: "I think sky blue, or maybe even light green." "Nah, let's go with Al. The kid will love it!"
@@claytonhess5512 Yeah, this show was a monster in the ratings. Consistently beat out a lot of other top comedies of the era and had a great time slot even in season 1: Right in between Full House and Rosanne. This show definitely had some dollars behind it.
It's amazing how MANY modern shows don't get the same views as Home Improvement. Hell, lots of Star Wars shows _today_ don't get the same numbers. A popular world event like *_Star Wars_* is outdone by a 1990s cable show. Let that sink in.
It's definately green screen. You can see the green colour of the paint as he carries it over to the bench. There is also some light pixalation around the edges which would further suggest green screen.

I forgot how funny this show was!! Love it!
Now *that* is an old-school computer!
Al looks like he's trying not to laugh :)
Now, I’m picturing Bob Ross painting.
“Little happy Als. Just like that.”
There's no wrong, just happy accidents.
What makes it even better is if you said that in Bob Ross's voice
Lol How do you know I didn't?
R.I.P. Bob Ross!
Always watched his paintings when I went to sleep.
Bob Ross: "Now for the bountiful skies for Al's mom." 🤣

This is my favorite show ever!!!
Al goes on smooth
Honestly if I was Al, I would be curious 🤨 by that color machine. The art picture of Al looks awesome 😎. Wish I could try that
Rumor has it that wallpaper has a tendency of harming the environment.
Love this bit
Nice

I asked this myself. If it could be the paint under the white color and make it visible with water.

I remember this episode lol I'm hella old
wish Lowes sells it
Al is bigger than fuchsia

The green around the edge made it obvious what was going on.

@moviesigrewupwith167blue and Green screen technology has been around since the 60s. They used it a lot in the 70s especially on The Muppet Show
i really wanna know how they did this. Im just assuming they pasted something over it and wiped it away with the brush but it's still impressive XD

"For those larger industrial jobs and warehouses we suggest a roller and a couple gallons of Al's mom" 😂🤣
Al is probably thinking
Al’s inner thoughts:why am I friends with him?
Imagine the conversation you'd have with your spouse about what color to paint the baby's room:
"I think sky blue, or maybe even light green."
"Nah, let's go with Al. The kid will love it!"
I need a Heidi color
But pure flesh tone, mind you. The way it's meant to be. 😁😍😁
ok i found the answer to my ? if anyone was wondering its season 3 episode 7 blow up ...
Green paint (Basically he made a green screen) . . . . . . very high-tech for a 90's sitcom.
Considering how popular the show was, they probably had enough to spare for this trick.
@@claytonhess5512 Yeah, this show was a monster in the ratings. Consistently beat out a lot of other top comedies of the era and had a great time slot even in season 1: Right in between Full House and Rosanne.

@@claytonhess5512 Disney technically owns this show. It was on ABC which is owned by Disney.... so this show pretty much had an endless budget.
@@stormtruppo That's all the more reason they should have better numbers, but the old cable days still beat 'em.
Cool times one of my favorite shows can never get old
How does this Work? Was picture under the white color?
Nope. Green screen technology
wow
Alexander
I still wonder how they even did that.
FK-Central it was a picture under the drywall and Tim was painting with paint remover
It's a green screen trick, fairly simple, Tim has a bucket of light green paint and they digitally superimpose a picture of all on to it.
It's definately green screen. You can see the green colour of the paint as he carries it over to the bench. There is also some light pixalation around the edges which would further suggest green screen.
it's not a green screen. This technology wasn't used back then.
Chris Keller chromakeying has been used for over 100 years in filmmaking
0:46 …
So... does this make Al a person of color? And more importantly, does this mean Tim gets fired for being racist toward him? 🤔
