In a nutshell the project would create a software that could automate the production of music videos.

  • Users of the application would provide the it with a song in digital form
  • The application will help the user to annotate the song with tags, this could be done either manually by the user or with the help of speech recognition technology
  • The application will fetch pictures that match the keywords of the song
  • The application will place those pictures in linear order to form a music video which combines the music and a changing stream of photos
  • The source for the pictures could be the user's own collection or pictures that can be used with proper creative commons licenses
  • The application will also create end credits and licensing information

Here is an example of what it could produce: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8060206257543341917
