Abstract: A system and method of presenting resource information for an entity includes receiving input data associated with the resource information of the entity, generating, by a computer, an animated representation of the resource information along one or more determined timelines employing a plurality of graphical characters based on the input data and displaying the animated representation. The creation of one simple animated visual language may reduce the mass confusion typically associated with the relation of resources including financial and other concepts, saving time and money and better educating those seeking recommendations and advice regarding resource planning, including financial planning.

Abstract: CiFiCo (Cinematic Financial Concepts) simplifies finance concept by taking information and “cinematizing” it into fun, simple, engaging, moving visual representations (aka “movies”) accompanied by sound and touch control. Movies contain various assets, incomes, and insurance, as well as intergenerational timelines. CiFiCo can demonstrate the impact of asset accumulation, distribution, taxes, insurance, investments, intergenerational transfers, and other concepts. The tool allows individuals to gain a unique perspective on how the financial decisions they make (past, present and future) can impact their overall financial picture (movie). CiFiCo can illustrate and factor for contributions and distributions, as well as risks or attacks that may draw against one's financial stability (e.g., death, disabilities, long term care costs, lawsuits, natural disasters, market volatility, etc.).
