I realized that it had a green screen processor, which means it will composite in one video with another treating the green as a replacement.<br \/>\nSo I thought I would try something. This is just a render test rather than a finished article, but it shows the principle.<br \/>\nI built a green studio in Second Life, just some prims, full bright and green. Placed my epredator avatar in the scene, pointed the camera at me and recorded the result with SnapzPro.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"640\" height=\"390\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sUDHzH1pnZM?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\nNext I dropped the result in iMovie onto some of the Predlets movie trailer footage. I had to adjust the green screen crop but it actually worked!<br \/>\nI bought a new camera for the business today, a HD Kodak ZX3 waterproof minicam (like a Flip HD but more robust). The iphone is handy for video but thought I needed something, still homebrew, but dedicated. I popped a 16Gb SD card in to give a good few hours of filming.<br \/>\nI will be giving it a test at the Gadget Show Live press day on Tuesday.
