Capturing the gameplay and....me?

[Deleted]

Hi everyone,

I would be glad if someone could help me with this question :

how do people enter in their videos the accurate shape of themselves playing?

I mean, not the square from a webcam record, but exactly the shape of themself, like swifty or all the others.

Like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4yk0bX35Oc

Any feedback will be appreciated.

It's called chroma key, or "green screen".

Thanks for fast feedback Shrouded,

(I'm currently at work so probably I have no time now to read all the article on wiki)

do you know if you have to do "on air" or on postproduction?

I'm pretty sure both of these works. However, postproduction might always be a little bit better since you can edit it more.

Thanks for the replies guys,

in the next few days I'll try to mess with Sony Vegas etc,

I hope it is not so complicated , I'm not an expert on this matter.
