Abstract

A method of providing and distributing personal video content that displays personal digital photographs as still images moving in three dimensional space is disclosed. Personal digital photographs are downloaded to a server. A user identifies a level of editing complexity from a plurality of levels of editing complexity. The user selects a three dimensional effect desired for a personal video from a plurality of preprogrammed templates stored at the server. The personal video is created that displays the digital personal photograph as a still image moving in three dimensional space according to the selected three dimensional effect. The user receives a link to a website hosting the personal video that can be shared with desired viewers.

Claims

1. A method of providing and distributing personal video content that displays personal digital photographs as still images moving in three dimensional space, the method comprising steps of:

sending a digital personal photograph to a server;

identifying a level of editing complexity from a plurality of levels of editing complexity;

editing at the identified level of editing complexity by selecting a three dimensional effect desired for a personal video from a plurality of preprogrammed templates stored at the server;

receiving a link to a website including the personal video, wherein the personal video displays the digital personal photograph as a still image moving in three dimensional space according to the selected three dimensional effect; and

forwarding the link to a personal electronic device associated with a desired viewer.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the link is a hyperlink.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of receiving the link further comprising the step of receiving an email including a hyperlink to the website and wherein the website is hosted by the server.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of sending the digital personal photograph further comprises the step of sending an audio music file and wherein the audio music file is included in the personal video.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of sending the digital personal photograph further comprises the step of sending text and wherein the text is included in the personal video.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of levels of editing complexity include a beginning level, an intermediate level, and an advanced level.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the three dimensional effect includes rotating the digital personal photograph.

19. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of levels of editing complexity include a beginning level, an intermediate level, and an advanced level.

20. The method of claim 1, wherein the three dimensional effect includes rotating the digitally recorded personal event file image.

8. A method of providing and distributing personal video content that displays personal digital photographs as still images moving in three dimensional space, the method comprising steps of:

receiving a digital personal photograph at a server from a user electronic device;

storing the digital personal photograph in a database of the server;

receiving a level of editing complexity selected by a user of the user electronic device from a plurality of levels of editing complexity;

providing editing options to the user in accordance with the selected level of editing complexity;

receiving an editing option selected by the user, wherein the selected editing option includes a three dimensional effect for a personal video;

creating the personal video displaying the digital personal photograph as a still image moving in three dimensional space according to the three dimensional effect; and

sending a link to a website including the personal video to the user.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the link is a hyperlink.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the step of sending the link further comprising the step of sending an email including a hyperlink to the website and wherein the website is hosted by the server.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein the step of receiving the digital personal photograph further comprises the step of receiving an audio music file and wherein the audio music file is included in the personal video.

12. The method of claim 8, wherein the step of receiving the digital personal photograph further comprises the step of receiving text and wherein the text is included in the personal video.

13. The method of claim 8, wherein the plurality of levels of editing complexity include a beginning level, an intermediate level, and an advanced level.

14. A method of providing and distributing a personal video production that displays digitally recorded personal events as moving in three dimensional space, the method comprising steps of:

sending a digitally recorded personal event file to a server, wherein the digitally recorded personal event file is one of a digital photograph and a personal video;

identifying a level of editing complexity from a plurality of levels of editing complexity;

editing at the identified level of editing complexity by selecting a three dimensional effect desired for the personal video production from a plurality of preprogrammed templates stored at the server;

receiving a link to a website including the personal video production, wherein the personal video production displays the digitally recorded personal event file as an image moving in three dimensional space according to the selected three dimensional effect; and

forwarding the link to a personal electronic device associated with a desired viewer.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the link is a hyperlink.

16. The method of claim 14, wherein the step of receiving the link further comprising the step of receiving an email including a hyperlink to the website and wherein the website is hosted by the server.

17. The method of claim 14, wherein the step of sending the digitally recorded personal event file further comprises the step of sending an audio music file and wherein the audio music file is included in the personal video production.

18. The method of claim 14, further comprising the step of sending text input and wherein the text input is included in the personal video production.
