Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase customer's pleasure by synthesizing a customer into an animation video, making the customer perform in harmony with a drama as if the customer is a member of the drama, photographing animation background synthetic video and producing animation background synthetic video on the spot. SOLUTION: A person 5 who gives a performance is located in front of a screen 6 for chromakey. An animation background synthesizer 1 has a background animation reproducing device 10 which outputs a background image and the device 10 sends, for instance, an excellent scene of a motion picture, a scene of fighting with a monster, a scene of being with an entertainer, etc., to a chromakey synthesizer 11. The synthesizer 11 is controlled by a controller 12 and synthesizes a performance image of a person which has a background by synthesizing person animation from a person photographing camera 2 with a background image from the synthesizer 11. And, the synthesized person performance image having the background is sent to a video recorder 14 and the recorder 14 performs picture recording on a recording medium.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a moving image background synthesizing apparatus according to the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a moving image background synthesizing apparatus.

A moving image background synthesizing apparatus 1 includes a person photographing camera 2 which is a person photographing means for photographing a moving image of a person performing an act.
Having. The person photographing camera 2 is a CCD camera, and its direction is changed in the vertical and horizontal directions by a camera platform 3. The camera head 3 is controlled by the controller 4 to match the position of the person performing the performance.

The person 5 performing the performance is located in front of the chroma key screen 6. The chroma key screen 6 is provided in a screen transmission light source box 7, and a light source 8 is arranged in the screen transmission light source box 7. The person 5 performing the performance is illuminated by the illumination lamp 9.

The moving image background synthesizing device 1 is a background moving image reproducing device 10 which is a background image output means for outputting a background image.
For example, a scene of a movie, a scene of fighting a monster, a scene with an entertainer, and the like are sent from the background moving image reproducing apparatus 10 to the chroma key synthesizing apparatus 11 constituting the moving image background synthesizing means.

The chroma key synthesizing device 11 is controlled by the controller 12, and synthesizes a moving image of a person from the person photographing camera 2 with a background image from the chroma key synthesizing device 11 to synthesize a performance image of a person having a background. The performance image of the person having the background synthesized by the chroma key synthesis device 11 is displayed on the television monitor 13, and the person performing the performance can perform while watching the television monitor 13.

The performance image of the person having the background synthesized by the chroma key synthesizing device 11 is sent to the video recording device 14 constituting the video recording means.
To record on a recording medium. As the recording medium, for example, a video tape, a CD disk, or the like can be used.

As described above, the background moving image (movie name scene, etc.) signal of the background moving image reproducing apparatus 10 is
And the person photographing camera 2 has a uniform color background (blue, etc.)
Of the person 5 acting in front of the blue screen 6 for chroma key, and the camera signal is
1 and outputs the output composite image signal to the video recording device 14.
To create recording media. The person 5 acting acts while watching the television monitor 13 so that he or she becomes a member of the famous scene and fits the role.

[0018] Combining a customer into a moving picture video, having the customer act in accordance with the drama as if it were a member of the drama, taking a moving picture background composite video, and creating a moving picture background composite media on the spot. As a result, customer pleasure is further expanded.

The performance image of the person having the background synthesized by the video recording device 14 is sent to the printer 15,
The printer 15 prints a still image of a performance of a person having a background on a recording medium. The recording medium may be exposed to photographic paper and developed, or may be a recording medium on which an image is recorded by thermal transfer. By printing a still image of the performance of the person having the synthesized background on the recording medium, the enjoyment of the customer is further expanded.

[0020]

As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, a customer is synthesized into a moving image, and the customer is made to act in accordance with the drama as if it were a member of the drama, and the moving image background is synthesized. You can take videos and create moving image background composite media on the spot, further expanding the enjoyment of customers.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, by printing a still image of the performance of the person having the synthesized background on the recording medium, the enjoyment of the customer is further expanded.
