摘要

An improved method for enhanced puppetry or similar types of performancesutilizing a virtual set (200) having a key-color screen (105) behind the setto do live action filming. All objects on the set (200), except for theperforming puppet (103), or other objects which are to appear in the finalproduct, are wrapped in a material which matches the color of the key-colorscreen (105). A virtual background is generated and combined with the liveaction whereby only the puppet (103) (or other object) appears on the virtualbackground in real time, with all other objects on the live set, includingpuppeteers (110-112), for example, being eliminated from the final product.
