Patent Images
1. A method of forming a hard copy motion image from a video motion sequence recorded on a video recording means which sequence contains views from a source, comprising the steps of:
- a) playing the recorded video, viewing the views, and selecting a series of motion containing views, wherein each of the views corresponds to a distinct image at a specific period of time;
b) storing the selected motion containing views, andc) printing an integral image on a printing medium such that the selected motion containing views can be viewed in sequence by altering an angle between a viewer'"'"'s eyes and a lenticular or barrier screen located on the printing medium.

Abstract
The invention is directed to a method and apparatus for forming a hard copy motion image from a video motion sequence recorded on a video recording device. The video motion sequence is played and an operator selects a series of motion containing views which are stored in memory. An integral image is printed on a printing medium such that the selected motion containing views can be viewed in sequence by altering the angle between a viewer'"'"'s eyes and a lenticular or barrier screen located on the printing medium.

9. An apparatus for forming a hard copy motion image from a video motion sequence recorded on a video recording means which contains views from a source, comprising:
-
a) means for playing the video recording means and viewing views recorded thereon; b) means for selecting a series of motion containing views from other views while viewing the views, wherein each of the views corresponds to a distinct image at a specific period of time; c) a storage device for storing the selected motion containing views; and d) a programmed processor which can create an integral image from the selected views, which integral image when printed on a printing medium will allow a viewing of the selected motion containing views in sequence by altering an angle between a viewer'"'"'s eyes and a lenticular or barrier screen located on the printing medium. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

10. An apparatus for forming a hard copy motion image from a video motion sequence recorded on a video recording means which contains views from a source, comprising:
-
a) a means for playing the video recording means and viewing views recorded thereon; b) means for selecting a series of motion containing views from other views while viewing the views, wherein each of the views corresponds to a distinct image at a specific period of time; c) a storage device for storing the selected motion containing views; d) means for displaying the stored selected motion containing views in sequence; e) means for a user to indicate whether the user wishes to form an integral image from the selected views; f) a programmed processor which can, in response to the means for a user to indicate, create an integral image from the selected views which integral image when printed on a printing medium will allow viewing of the selected motion containing views in sequence by altering an angle between a viewer'"'"'s eyes and a lenticular or barrier screen located on the printing medium; and g) printed instructions located adjacent the remainder of the apparatus or which appear on the monitor, which instructions direct a user; to play the video recording means in the means for playing and activate the means for selecting a series of motion views when viewing views desired to be made part of the hard copy motion image; when selection of desired views is complete, to activate the means for displaying; and when replay of the stored selected motion containing views is complete, to select on the means for a user to indicate whether the user wishes to form an integral image from the selected views, whether the user does or does not wish to form the integral image.
