Emerald's sales staff gets a green screen

by Mark Boyer on 8/26/09

I’m impressed by this video, if only because it provides one more opportunity for the Emerald sales staff to invoke the color green. It’s actually a fairly unremarkable video, except for the fact that Property Consultants agent Joe Dupor is standing in front of a green screen (or “chroma key” for the video pros out there).

They’ve managed to get more mileage out of Emerald’s street address, 123 S Green St, than I ever would have imagined.

How many ways can the Emerald staff slip in a reference to the development’s green theme? “Emerald is located on Green Street, so naturally it’s eco-friendly,” the development Web site tells us, pointing to the two obvious connections. Then, to take it a step further, developer Senco Properties hired John Robert Wiltgen to deck out the lobby in all shades of green ranging from shamrock to asparagus. And they of course also have a “green room.”

Now let’s see, what else is green? Oh yeah: money!

The best part about the green screen video is that they probably wouldn’t have even needed to go into the studio to make it — they could have just stood Dupor up in front of one of those big green “pickle spear” lamps in the Emerald lobby to get the same effect.

“Green” as cache is no longer worth the greenbacks it’s printed on.
