Mobile studio
First Claim
1. A mobile studio for producing video and audio content, comprising:
- a vehicle comprising a body mounted on a chassis, said body having a studio chamber enclosure formed by a floor, a ceiling, spaced opposite outer side walls and spaced outer front and rear walls, said floor comprising a stage area;
at least one light emitting diode (LED) lighting assembly located in the studio chamber enclosure suitable for providing sufficient illumination for image capture such that a captured image is suitable for projection as a Pepper'"'"'s Ghost image;
an image projection apparatus comprising a projector, a frame, a light source and an at least partially transparent screen, wherein the at least partially transparent screen is inclined at an angle with respect to a plane of emission of light from the projector, and the light source is arranged to illuminate at least part of the image projection apparatus, the at least partially transparent screen having a front surface arranged such that light emitted from the projector is reflected therefrom, and the projector being arranged to project an image such that light forming the image impinges upon the at least partially transparent screen such that a virtual image is created from light reflected from the at least partially transparent screen, the virtual image appearing to be located behind the at least partially transparent screen;
at least one camera to capture an image of a subject on the stage area and generate the captured image; and
a communications device to transmit the captured image.

Abstract
A mobile studio for producing video and audio content includes a vehicle having a body mounted on a chassis. The body includes a studio chamber enclosure formed by a floor, a ceiling, spaced opposite outer side walls and spaced outer front and rear walls, and the floor includes a stage area. The mobile studio further includes at least one LED lighting assembly located in the studio chamber enclosure that is suitable for providing sufficient illumination for image capture such that a captured image is suitable for projection as a Pepper'"'"'s Ghost image, at least one camera to capture an image of a subject on the stage area and generate the captured image, and a communications device to transmit the captured image.

14. A method of producing video and audio content from a mobile studio, the method comprising the steps of:
-
providing a vehicle comprising a body mounted on a chassis, said body having a studio chamber enclosure formed by a floor, a ceiling, spaced opposite outer side walls and spaced outer front and rear walls, said floor of the studio chamber enclosure comprising a stage area; forming an image; lighting the studio chamber enclosure with at least one light emitting diode (LED) lighting assembly to provide sufficient illumination for image capture such that a captured image is suitable for projection as a Pepper'"'"'s Ghost image; producing a Pepper'"'"'s Ghost image using an image projection apparatus comprising a projector, a frame, a light source and an at least partially transparent screen, wherein the at least partially transparent screen is inclined at an angle with respect to a plane of emission of light from the projector, and the light source is arranged to illuminate at least part of the image projection apparatus, the at least partially transparent screen having a front surface arranged such that light emitted from the projector is reflected therefrom, and the projector being arranged to project an image such that light forming the image impinges upon the at least partially transparent screen such that a virtual image is created from light reflected from the at least partially transparent screen, the virtual image appearing to be located behind the at least partially transparent screen; capturing an image of a subject on the stage area to generate the captured image; and transmitting the captured image using a communications network. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A mobile studio for producing video and audio content, comprising:
-
a vehicle comprising a body mounted on a chassis, said body having a studio chamber enclosure formed by a floor, a ceiling, spaced opposite outer side walls and spaced outer front and rear walls, said floor of the studio chamber enclosure comprising a stage area; an image projection apparatus comprising a projector, a frame, a light source and an at least partially transparent screen, wherein the at least partially transparent screen is inclined at an angle with respect to a plane of emission of light from the projector, and the light source is arranged to illuminate at least part of the image projection apparatus, the at least partially transparent screen having a front surface arranged such that light emitted from the projector is reflected therefrom; and
the projector being arranged to project an image such that light forming the image impinges upon the at least partially transparent screen such that a virtual image is created from light reflected from the at least partially transparent screen, the virtual image appearing to be located behind the at least partially transparent screen;at least one LED lighting assembly located in the studio chamber enclosure suitable for providing sufficient illumination for image capture such that a captured image is suitable for projection as a Pepper'"'"'s Ghost image; at least one camera to capture an image of a subject on the stage area and generate the captured image; a device for compressing and/or encoding the captured image; a communications device to transmit the captured image; and wherein the mobile studio allows a real time communication of a two-way interaction between two or more subjects located remotely of one another.
