Patent number: 9595296Abstract: Multi-stage production pipeline system that may be utilized in conjunction with a motion picture project management system. The multi-stage production pipeline system includes a computer and a database. The database includes metadata associated with at least one shot or associated with regions within the plurality of images in the at least one shot, or both. The computer includes a grouping tool interface for presenting user interface elements and accepting input of the metadata associated with the at least one shot or regions within the plurality of images in the at least one shot, or both. The system enables a large studio workforce to work non-linearly on a film while maintaining a unified vision driven by key creative figures, allowing for more consistent, higher quality, faster, less expensive work product and more efficient project management techniques. The system also enables reuse of project files, masks and other production elements across projects.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2016Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: LEGEND3D, Inc.Inventors: Barry Sandrew, Jared Sandrew, Nancy Wang, Craig Cesareo, James Prola, Jill Hunt, Anthony Lopez

Patent number: 9031383Abstract: Motion picture project management system for reviewers, coordinators and artists. Artists utilize image analysis and image enhancement and computer graphics processing for example to convert two-dimensional images into three-dimensional images or otherwise create or alter motion pictures. Enables the efficient management of projects related to motion pictures to enable enterprises to manage assets, control costs, predict budgets and profit margins, reduce archival storage and otherwise provide displays tailored to specific roles to increase worker efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2012Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: Legend3D, Inc.Inventors: Jared Sandrew, Anthony Lopez, Timothy Tranquill, Craig Cesareo

Patent number: 8953905Abstract: Movies to be colorized/depth enhanced (2D?3D) are broken into backgrounds/sets or motion/onscreen-action. Background and motion elements are combined into composite frame which becomes a visual reference database that includes data for all frame offsets used later for the computer controlled application of masks within a sequence of frames. Masks are applied to subsequent frames of motion objects based on various differentiating image processing methods, including automated mask fitting/reshaping. Colors/depths are automatically applied with masks throughout a scene from the composite background and to motion objects. Areas never exposed by motion or foreground objects may be partially or fully realistically drawn/rendered/applied to the occluded areas and applied throughout the images to generate artifact-free secondary viewpoints during 2D?3D conversion.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2012Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: Legend3D, Inc.Inventors: Jared Sandrew, Tony Baldridge, Anthony Lopez, Timothy Tranquill, Craig Cesareo
