Yoostar puts you into the action

Chris McGinn posted a blog on Digital Landing about a cool new game for the wannabe actors/actresses out there.

Yoostar is the biggest thing in interactive entertainment since Wii. The system makes you the star by putting you in famous scenes from your favorite movies and shows like Rocky and Sesame Street.

The system (retailing for under $170) includes a high-res camera, microphone and green screen. You record yourself re-creating the scene and then watch it back with you in place of one of the stars. You can faithfully re-enact the script or create your own interpretation of the scene. The unit includes 39 roles but additional scenes are available for purchase from the sites library.

Yoostar will be available in August with content from five major Hollywood studios including Paramount Pictures Corporation, Universal Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc., Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Inc., Lions Gate Films, Inc., as well as the National Basketball Association and Sesame Workshop’s “Sesame Street” franchise.

Another component of Yoostar is social networking. You can create widgets and embedded scenes by uploading your creations to Yoostar.com.
