Seriously, though? Because his camera isn’t great, and the lighting may not be the best. Sometimes fluorescent lighting gives a greenish tinge to digital photographs, because of differences in the way cameras and eyes work.
I figured that might be why… My comment was not really very useful, and I realized that, but his Green-ness did make me think “He’s in the Matrix” all through the video (as you too have noticed).
He could offset this in the future by hanging a reddish-orange cloth behind him… Or, maybe Yellowish would be best to prevent him from over-correcting the color. I used to do a lot of video work and probably should have mentioned this to begin with above (that I really knew why he was green), and have had to do some really strange make-up or lighting to correct for a camera or ambient light color that was causing bizarre skin-tones (the very worst was having to make a guy nearly blue to offset an orange cast)
Why is Razib Green?
Because he’s in the Matrix.
