Method and apparatus for producing customized video recordings
First Claim
1. A recording apparatus comprising:
- a prompter for displaying prompt information;
first audio means for providing an audio background signal from among a first prerecorded library of plural audio backgrounds, said audio background signal being synchronous with the prompt information;
first video means for obtaining a video background signal from among a second prerecorded library of plural video backgrounds, said video background signal being selectable independently of the audio background signal provided from the first prerecorded library;
second audio means for obtaining an audio signal representing a performance based on the displayed prompts;
second video means for obtaining a video signal representing the performance; and
combining means for combining the audio background signal and the audio signal and the video background signal and the video signal to produce composite audio and video signals.

Abstract
Method and apparatus for producing customized video recordings. The apparatus includes audio/video reproduction equipment for displaying prompt information and for providing a first audio signal synchronous with the prompt information. The apparatus further includes a device for providing a first video signal representative of background information, audio/video recording equipment for providing a second video signal and a second audio signal representative of a live performance performed synchronously with the display of the prompt information. A mixer is provided for combining the first and second audio and video signals, and creative modification are added whereupon the combined signals are recorded to form the customized video recording.
