Antiques roadshow

They have a panoramic camera set up to capture the view. For most of the stuff people bring in that isn't filmed for the TV show, they give your item an appraisal right at one of the booths. If you have something that someone at one of the booths thinks will be interesting for the TV show, you instead get pulled aside and led into a separate green screen room where they do the appraisal. When shown on TV, the green screen is replaced with the view from the panoramic camera (the background sound is also mixed in). They also have some roaming cameras and take footage at some of the booths to use as bumpers.
