Capture netflix streaming video Public Ridicule Makes For Interesting Games

What is karaoke but an opportunity to laugh and be laughed at? Belting out your rendition of Sinatra's My Way -- not recommended in the Philippines, by the by -- is meant to either prove you have the chops to audition for American Idol or are nothing more than some half-drunken sod with a voice that could crack glass. While indeed the threat of public humiliation is palpable, anyone with even a modicum of vocal skill can manage to mildly entertain a crowd of enthusiastic drinkers.
The same, unfortunately, cannot be said for those who participate in the practice of "green screening." While this may be an unfamiliar term to most, it will not be for much longer. Thanks to the innovations of companies, like Yoostar, the future of karaoke may not be as secure as previously thought. Why simply settle for someone's botched attempt to sing when you can jeer his or her botched attempt to act?
The package is rather straightforward. The technology, which consists of a foldout green screen and compatible software, simply transposes the actor, in one of dozens of popular film clips, with you or a friend. By positioning yourself according to the software's specifications, you can subsume the role of such stars as Humphrey Bogart, Harrison Ford, and even John Belushi. Mind you, this doesn't allow you to commandeer the entire film, merely a three or four minute portion.
While this technology is being heralded as the future of home entertainment, I feel a more public setting will fulfill its greatest potential. While your average pub may take some time to warm up to this new kind of karaoke, your typical weekend party or soiree would be an opportune time to delight your friends and relatives. This is made possible by the shrewd fact that everyone wishes, at one point or another, to be able to enter his or her favorite film.
Picture the setting. Imagine an intimate get together of your closest friends. Then imagine taking turns delivering Bogart's lines in Casablanca. Then imagine how far from the mark you all will be. The peel of laughter will be heard for blocks around.
