ANALYZING OR EMULATING A DANCE PERFORMANCE THROUGH DYNAMIC POINT REFERENCING

摘要

The systems and methods taught herein are generally directed to 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.

主权项

1. An audiovisual work including a video dance performance, the work comprising:
a video portion and an audio portion, wherein the work includes a video dance performance of a dancer displaying combinations of body movements that follow the audio portion; and, a dynamic point reference grid within the work for an accurate and precise selection and point-cycling of a desired portion of the work by a user, wherein the dynamic point reference includes a custom tempo map of the audio portion that is adaptable for a plurality of tempos within the work; wherein the video portion and the audio portion are stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium with instructions for execution by a processor; the audio portion comprises a recording of a musical instrument having a fluctuation in tempos; the custom tempo map is configured to include a mapping of the distance between bars or beats, the distance measured as time; where, the mapping captures the fluctuation in tempos and composes the dynamic point reference grid for the accurate and precise selection of a point of reference for point-cycling of the desired portion of the work.
