Abstract:

A method and apparatus are provided for generating an image sequence, in which image elements are defined digitally. The method includes the steps of: defining the format of the image via a template system; generating thumbnail image data; transferring such thumbnail data into sequential storyboard panels for reference; drawing or editing resultant storyboards; inserting text for each storyboard; revising storyboards while preserving numbering; creating custom camera pans by employing both template presets and user input; formulating automatic page layout based on a variety of pre-set templates; printing the storyboards; and storing digital image data from the process in an image data format.
