ABSTRACT:
A system for producing multiple personalized video sequences of a subject includes a storage medium storing a foreground video sequence of an element of interest which has been pre-mixed to enable keyed superposition over an other video image, and a video camera for generating a background video signal corresponding to a real-time video sequence of the subject. A mixer superposes the foreground video sequence over the background video signal to produce a combination video sequence in which the subject appears together with the element of interest. A video monitor is provided for displaying the combination video sequence as it is mixed. The system may be constructed as an automated machine with an automatic payment system and a media recorder and feeder. Preferably, the system includes camera and lighting control systems for producing effects in the real-time video signal to mimic similar effects in the pre-recorded video sequence.
