In several of our live shows we have been able to utilize realtime greenscreen technology to put our actors in whatever location the scene requires. We use a hardware keyer to remove the green backdrop and replace it with still images and videos from our extensive searchable database. We currently have a large permanent screen installed at the IOWest Theater in Hollywood, and we recently constructed a smaller portable screen for shows in other theaters.

We often send remote camera crews outside the theater to film scenes during live shows. These scenes are filmed quickly in the area surrounding the theater, and the footage is mixed in with the rest of the show. Being outside the theater during portions of the show makes it difficult on the actors and the crew to maintain coherent story lines throughout the performance, but we structure our formats to compensate for this as much as possible. Bringing a live performance outside the theater to interact with real people is one of the things that makes AV Club shows unlike any other improvised performance ever produced.
