Abstract

A playback system is provided for altering the frame rate of streaming digital movie data for synchronizing with audio data recording to create a synchronized audiovisual work. The system can have a video that is synchronized with the variations in the tempo of the audio data through a variable timing reference track designed and provided for a user, wherein the designing of the variable timing reference track includes creating a tempo map having variable tempos, rhythms, and beats using notes from the audio data.

Abstract

The systems and methods taught herein are generally directed to facilitating a performing arts contest in a distributed computing environment having remote processing devices linked through a communications network in a streaming audio/video setting, including a dynamic point referencing of an audiovisual performance for an accurate and precise selection and controlled cycling of portions of the performance. The dynamic point referencing can be used by a learning artist, for example, in analyzing or performing a portion of the work through an accurate and precise digital audio/video instructional method having the controlled cycling feature. Such systems and methods will be appreciated, for example, by musicians, dancers, and other enthusiasts of the performing arts.

Abstract

Systems and methods for aligning and assembling a first acting performance with a second acting performance, each performed remote from the other. A digital pace setter is assigned to a portion of a script and used to align and assemble the performances in that portion of the script. A first timing segment is assigned to the first portion of the script to contain the first acting performance and the second acting performance, and the first timing segment can be configured with a first timeline to align a location and a duration of the data files in the first timing segment for assembling the first acting performance with the second acting performance in the first portion of the script. An acting performance can be assigned as a digital pace-setter.

Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for aligning and assembling an acting performance with a complementary event or series of events that can include one or more acting performances. An ensemble of performances can be assembled, and each performance in the ensemble can be created at a location remote from each of the other performances and uploaded for assembly into the ensemble. Actors can record their performance at any remote location, and upload their performance into one of the systems taught herein for assembly into any desired ensemble. Their performance can be assembled with any one or more other performances obtained from other actors. Actors can audition from any location in the world without requiring travel, and their performance can be screened on it's own merits, or screened as a part of any one or more compilations of performances in the search for a desired ensemble of actors.

Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for assembling and displaying a visual ensemble of musical performances that were created and uploaded from one or more locations that are remote from a host of the network, a director or other administrator reviewing submissions for selection and assembly, or perhaps merely remote from one or more other submissions received over a computer network. The assembled performances include a plurality of submissions, the submissions including performances created and uploaded at one or more locations remote from the location of the director for the assembly and display over the computer network. Systems and methods are also included for mapping one performance against another performance qualitatively, quantitatively, in real-time, or some combination thereof, enabling a musician, or a reviewer of performances, in the assessment of one performance relative to another performance.
