Claim:
1. A computer system for generating an edited video program for an individual from a set of individuals participating in an event in a venue, wherein the venue includes a plurality of cameras that capture video of the individuals and a plurality of sensors, each sensor associated with one or more cameras of the plurality of cameras, each of the sensors at least detecting proximity of an individual near the sensor, the computer system comprising: a processing unit, a computer storage medium and a database, and interfaces connected to receive data from the plurality of sensors and to receive video data from the plurality of cameras; the processing unit executing computer program instructions to be operative to: continuously receive the video data from the plurality of cameras during periods of time during the event; store the received video data for each camera in a sequence of data files in the computer storage, each data file in the sequence being created in regular time intervals, each data file having as associated time interval and including video data from the camera for a period of time during the event in the associated time interval, each data file in the sequence being accessible using an identifier of the camera providing the received video data and data representing the time interval; continuously receive the data from the plurality of sensors during periods of time during the event, the received data, from each sensor, being indicative of individuals and times at which proximity of the individuals to the sensor is detected by the sensor; store the received data from each sensor in the database such that the database stores, for each sensor, an identifier of each individual detected in the proximity of the sensor by the sensor, and a time at which the individual was detected in the proximity of the sensor by the sensor; receive an indication of an individual; access, from the database, the stored data from the sensors, using the indication of the individual, to retrieve times from the database at which the individual was detected in the proximity of one or more of the sensors by the one or more of the sensors, and identifiers of the one or more of the sensors; access the stored video data from the computer storage to retrieve clips of the stored video data received from cameras associated with the one or more sensors, according to the retrieved times from the database at which the individual was detected in the proximity of one or more sensors by the one or more of the sensors.
