Method and system for filming

A real time streaming telepresence system, comprising:

• an image source arranged to project a human image directly towards a semitransparent screen for receiving the human image projected by the image source and generating and directing a partially reflected human image toward an audience, the partially reflected human image being perceived by the audience as a virtual human image or hologram on a stage;
• wherein the human image projected by the image source is filmed using a filming studio including a black, blue, or green back screen positioned behind a subject area in which the subject moves or is positioned during filming, and a lighting arrangement having one of more first lights for illuminating a front of the subject when viewed from a camera used to film the subject, wherein the first lights are angled such that the majority of light emitted by the first lights is not reflected by the back screen back to the subject, and one or more second lights for illuminating the rear and/or side of the subject, the total intensity of the one or more second lights being greater than the total intensity of the one or more first lights as measured at the subject at all points within the subject area, and one or more third lights for illuminating the feet of the subject, wherein a total brightness of the one or more first lights, as measured at the subject, is less than or approximately the same as a total brightness of the one or more second lights such that edges of the subject appear disproportionally brighter.
