ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Digital compositing

Digital compositing is like building a digital picture puzzle using different pieces of pictures. Imagine you have a picture of a person standing in front of a green screen (like a big green wall). With digital compositing, you can remove the green screen and add a new background behind the person. It's like cutting out the person from their original picture and pasting them into a new picture.

But it's not just about changing backgrounds. Digital compositing can also be used to add other things to a picture, like special effects, animations, or 3D objects. Say you have a photo of a house, and you want to add a rainbow and some birds flying in the sky. With digital compositing, you can add those things so they look like they belong in the picture.

It's like using your computer to make your pictures look even cooler and more interesting. And it's used in movies all the time to create amazing and imaginary scenes. So next time you watch a movie, see if you can spot where digital compositing was used!
