Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for generating a virtual video presentation, comprising the steps of: (a) defining a surface within a three-dimensional space of a virtual three dimensional scene to be rendered, the surface dividing the virtual three-dimensional scene into a virtual three-dimensional background scene to be rendered and a virtual three-dimensional foreground scene to be rendered; (b) rendering the virtual three-dimensional background scene to be located behind the surface within the virtual video presentation; (c) rendering the virtual three-dimensional foreground scene to be located in front of the surface within the virtual video presentation; (d) generating two stereoscopic insert videos and key signals using at least two virtual video cameras defining an aim point that is positioned within the virtual three-dimensional background scene, wherein the aim point is not on the surface dividing the virtual three-dimensional scene into the virtual three-dimensional background scene to be rendered and the virtual three-dimensional foreground scene to be rendered; and (e) compositing the stereoscopic insert videos and key signals, the rendered virtual three-dimensional background scene, and the rendered virtual three-dimensional foreground scene together to form the virtual video presentation, wherein each of the stereoscopic insert videos appears in front of the three-dimensional background scene and the three dimensional foreground scene appears in front of each of the stereoscopic insert videos and the three-dimensional background scene.
