halloween ghosts

[junno1616]

i'm having a halloween party and i wanted to see if i could do something different to spruce things up a bit. I was wondering if i could set my camera up to my big screen and have it running so you can see yourself on tv in real time....but my real question: is there a way to edit it so there would be ghosts sitting next to you when you look into the tv?

my supply list:
i have 2 dvx cameras
55" bigscreen
MAC PRO
-shake
-final cut pro
-motion
-soundrack pro

thanks for looking

im sure its possible, but the only way i could tink it would work would be to have on video channel that allows for two imputs, one for the matte/animation of the ghost and the other for the video source.

hmmm

That's a tuff one. The only thing that I can think of is to use 2 projectors... you have a 55" big screen so that doesn't help you. Hmmm. Great.. thanks, now I'll be laying in bed all night trying to figure this out.

Film your "ghosts" sitting on the couch in advance, preferably green screened for speed and ease. Then you run the cam into your nle, and overlay your ghosts, keying out the background.

Best I can come up with.
