| Title: |
Live Actor Integration in Pre-Recorded Well Known Video |
| Abstract: |
The apparatus inserts a participant realistically into familiar background
media to provide similar results to a completely original movie with
multi-camera studio production and editing. An automated and simplified
studio has multiple cameras and traditional studio devices such as
teleprompters and controlled lighting presented to the consumer as an
entertainment product. Previously produced, familiar media are modified
to create the background video source and synchronous audio track. The
participant is inserted via chroma key and the multiple cameras are used
to create traditional establishing shots intercut with close-ups. These
are controlled through a video switcher to create a real-time, finished
recording that is stored on a digital server for later playback.
