Yoostar

Yoostar is a video-based gaming system that allows users to insert themselves into movie scenes and share their performances online.

Yoostar allows users to star in their favorite movie scenes together with the original actors and share their performances online. The Yoostar system includes all the tools to turn your home into a movie studio: a studio-grade web cam with built-in dual microphones and remote control, portable green screen, professional stand, and Yoostar software that is compatible with both PC and Mac computers. The system will ship with an assortment of clips featuring 38 different roles, with a constantly updated library of film, television and NBA moments available for purchase and download at www.yoostar.com. Yoostar's patented Active Immersion Technology digitally removes original actors from scenes and allows users to insert themselves into their place. Users can deliver faithful, on-script performances or their own interpretation of movie and television scenes while interacting with their favorite stars. The number of takes is unlimited, ensuring that the user gets exactly the performance they want before wrapping the scene. The Yoostar system allows users to record performances on their PC or Mac for local viewing and also to upload to www.yoostar.com. At the site, users can share their own performances and view, rate, and compete with fellow Yoostar users' efforts. Yoostar.com is a fully developed social networking site where users can create their own personal profile pages, build communities of friends and share favorite performances — on the site itself as well as community sites such as Twitter and Facebook. At launch, Yoostar will have content from five major Hollywood studios including Paramount Pictures Corporation, Universal Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc., Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Inc., Lions Gate Films, Inc., as well as the National Basketball Association and Sesame Workshop's 'Sesame Street' franchise.
