Abstract

A software application program on a computer platform transforms a structured basic concept into a pictorial interpretation in the form of an E-Enhanced Multi-Dimensional PictoFilm Presentation using PictoOverlay Interface Enhanced Technology that structures from the basic concept elements required as critical content for the location, event, actions, outcomes and characters to transform the basic concept is transformed into a series of moving pictures with special effects and enhancements, both audio and visual, that end up making the basic concept come alive visually, emotively and evocatively. More specifically, the software application program combines and layers static images and displays them dynamically and sequentially, adding audio and video enhancements to create a presentation like a film. The software program further transforms the basic concept into an infinitely variable array of pictorial elements and enhancements that extend the basic concept to intrigue, entertain and inform.

Claims

1. An audio video film creator software system for the creation of an enhanced multi-dimensional pictofilm presentation, comprising:

application software installed on a computer system;

the application software further comprising;

a blueprint generator;

a pictofilm generator;

a pictolayer generator;

a pictocomposite generator;

an enhancements generator; and

wherein the blueprint generator structures an architectural blueprint with a plurality of required critical content based on a basic concept;

the pictofilm generator structures a plurality of textual plot lines for a plurality of acts, scenes and part scenes and applies the required critical content to each of the plurality of acts, scenes and part scenes;

the pictolayer generator stylizes a plurality of trans-snips from a plurality of images pictorially representing the required critical content for each of the plurality of acts, scenes and part scenes;

the pictocomposite generator layers the plurality of trans-snips to form at least one composite image;

the pictofilm generator creates at least one pictostory from at least one composite image representing the required critical content for each of the plurality of acts, scenes and part scenes;

the enhancements generator associates and prioritizes at least one enhancement with one of at least one of a trans-snip, a composite image, a pictostory, an act, a scene and a part scene within the architectural blueprint; and

the production controls sequence at least one pictostory to create an enhanced multi-dimensional pictofilm presentation.

2. The audio video film creator software system for the creation of an enhanced multi-dimensional pictofilm presentation of claim 1, wherein the pictofilm generator structures the required critical content into a plurality of elements for each act, scene and part scene and applies a 6WCOOL query in a responsive format to the plurality of elements to create the expanded textual plot line.

3. The audio video film creator software system for the creation of an enhanced multi-dimensional pictofilm presentation of claim 1, wherein the required critical components include one of at least a settings location, a time, an event, an outcome and a character.

4. The audio video film creator software system for the creation of an enhanced multi-dimensional pictofilm presentation of claim 3 further comprising a choice generator grouping variable content for selection of required critical content.

5. The audio video film creator software system for the creation of an enhanced multi-dimensional pictofilm presentation of claim 4 wherein the grouped variable content is stored within a data store resource using an encrypted coordinate file naming structure.

6. The audio video film creator software system for the creation of an enhanced multi-dimensional pictofilm presentation of claim 3 further comprising character profiles.

7. The audio video film creator software system for the creation of an enhanced multi-dimensional pictofilm presentation of claim 1, wherein at least one trans-snip from the plurality of trans-snips is formed by shaping, cropping, sizing, removing a white background of an image representing a required critical component and locating the image on a blank transparent sheet.

8. The audio video film creator software system for the creation of an enhanced multi-dimensional pictofilm presentation of claim 1, wherein the architectural blueprint further comprises a reference page map.

9. The audio video film creator software system for the creation of an enhanced multi-dimensional pictofilm presentation of claim 1, wherein an enhancement is at least one of audio files, recorded narration, animation, video files, video effects, sound effects, slide shows, and image components.

10. A method of creating a multi-dimensional pictofilm presentation, comprising the steps of:

installing application software on a computer system;

structuring an architectural blueprint within the application software with a plurality of required critical content;

developing a textual plot line using a pictofilm generator within the application software based on a basic concept and the required critical content;

structuring a plurality of acts, scenes and part scenes based on the textual plot line;

applying the required critical content to each of the plurality of acts, scenes and part scenes;

forming a plurality of trans-snips from a plurality of images pictorially representing the required critical content for each of the plurality of acts, scenes and part scenes;

layering a plurality of trans-snips to form at least one composite image;

creating at least one pictostory from the at least one composite image;

associating and prioritizing at least one enhancement with one of at least one of a trans-snip, a composite image, a pictostory, an act, a scene and a part scene within the architectural blueprint; and

sequencing at least one pictostory to create an enhanced multi-dimensional pictofilm presentation.

11. The method of creating a multi-dimensional pictofilm presentation, of claim 10 further comprising the step of structuring the required critical content into a plurality of elements for each act, scene and part scene and applying a 6WCOOL query in a responsive format to the plurality of elements to create the expanded textual plot line.

12. The method of creating a multi-dimensional pictofilm presentation, of claim 10 further comprising the step of including within the required critical components at least one of a settings location, a time, an event, an outcome and a character.

13. The method of creating a multi-dimensional pictofilm presentation, of claim 10 further comprising the step of grouping variable content using a choice generator for selection as required critical content.

14. The method of creating a multi-dimensional pictofilm presentation, of claim 13 further comprising the step of storing the grouped variable content within a data store resource using an encrypted coordinate file naming structure.

15. The method of creating a multi-dimensional pictofilm presentation, of claim 10 further comprising the step of creating character profiles.

16. The method of creating a multi-dimensional pictofilm presentation, of claim 10 further comprising the step of forming at least one trans-snip from the plurality of trans-snips by shaping, cropping, sizing, removing the white background of an image representing a required critical component and locating the trans-snip on a blank transparent sheet.

17. The method of creating a multi-dimensional pictofilm presentation, of claim 10 further comprising the step of navigating the architectural blueprint using a reference page map.

18. The method of creating a multi-dimensional pictofilm presentation, of claim 10 further comprising the step of enhancing at least one of a trans-snip, a composite image, a pictostory, an act, a scene and a part scene within the architectural blueprint with at least one of audio files, recorded narration, animation, video files, video effects, sound effects, slide shows, and image components.
