• access the digital record of the scene;
• and
• composite a representation of the actor taken from the video imagery into the digital record of the scene to form a com posited scene;
• and
• a virtual reality (VR) headset at the second location connected to the processor and configured to display, to an operator of the real camera while the real camera records the actor:
• a first view of the com posited scene that corresponds to a position and orientation of the VR headset relative to a virtual world that is formed by the digital record of the scene;
• and
• a virtual viewfinder displaying a second view of the com posited scene that corresponds to a position, orientation and field of view of the real camera relative to the virtual world.
