ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are an animation creating method and system for creating an executive scenario of animation while reducing a load to be imposed by animation reproduction, and an animation reproducing method and system for reproducing the executive scenario. A scenario described in the form of paired data including identifiers of frame data items and reproduction tempos is input. When frame data items are reproduced at intervals of a designated unit reproduction time, the number of frame data items needed to realize each reproduction tempo is calculated. An identifier of a frame data item associated with the reproduction tempo is copied so that the same number of identifiers as the calculated number of frame data items can be produced. Thus, an executive scenario composed of a series of frame data items is created. It is then detected whether or not the cycle of the unit reproduction time has elapsed. Every time it is detected that the cycle has elapsed, an identifier of a frame data is retrieved in order from the executive scenario, and a frame data item indicated by the identifier of a frame data item is displayed.
