The present invention concerns a method for replacing the face of an actor
in a video clip, with the one of a user (U) of an entertainment video
system (4), consisting in: a preparation phase, taking one first fixed
picture of the face of the user; building a 3D-model of that face;
replacing a first video picture of the actor with a reproduction of the
face of the user; and while the clip is going on, replacing the face of
the actor in the successive pictures of the video clip with successive
pictures reproducing the face of the user, the transitions of the face of
the actor being followed by applying at least orientation, size and
displacement vectors to the 3D-model of face of the user on the basis of
orientation, size and displacement vectors calculated for the face of the
actor in the clip.
