A movie set is divided into at least a directing station and a set station, remote from each other. Actors are either in their own remote acting station or, if the director is also the cameraman, in the directing station. At the set station, a digital record of a real or virtual scene is created. Actors are recorded separately from the set and composited into the scene as they are acting. A real camera films the actor, who is automatically composited into the scene. A virtual camera films the actor and the virtual scene. Cameramen filming the actors wear virtual reality headsets, so they inhabit the virtual or pre-recorded real world into which the actors are composited, in real time. Virtual viewfinders are displayed in the headsets to show the image that the camera is capturing.
