Nice work! But people should be aware that this type of thing is patented left right and sideways. I wrote a patent for automated actor replacement in filmed media in '05, filed it globally, and it began being awarded in '08 in the various regions it was filed. Here's one of the US versions: http://www.google.com/patents/WO2007035558A2?cl=en I no longer own it; now it is part of a broad family of patents collectively forming a "Personalized Media" infrastructure. It is owned by a major media company I'm not allowed to disclose.

Essentially, it is possible to replace people, objects, environments, & audio elements automatically through a series of techniques. Those techniques form the basis of a powerful advertising and message delivery infrastructure. And the collective IP is already owned by a major media conglomerate.
