Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0167779A1] An improved method for enhanced puppetry or similar types of performances utilizing a virtual set (200) having a key-color screen (105) behind the set to do live action filming. All objects on the set (200), except for the performing puppet (103), or other objects which are to appear in the final product, are wrapped in a material which matches the color of the key-color screen (105). A virtual background is generated and combined with the live action whereby only the puppet (103) (or other object) appears on the virtual background in real time, with all other objects on the live set, including puppeteers (110-112), for example, being eliminated from the final product.
