Abstract
A user-friendly and interactively created multimedia electronic message, as well as a system and method for creating such messages, combines an audio component (e.g. a voice-over, music, etc.) with user-interaction events that act upon selected visual media that serve as a visual background to the message. The visual media can be images, sequences of images, video, files such as documents or simply a pre-established library of background templates. The user interaction events can be sketch animations, text animations, symbols, shapes, emoticons and image transformation (e.g. pan, zoom, rotation, etc.) events. The user-interaction events may be time-correlated with the audio component through a common clock that is initiated by, and runs throughout, the audio recordation process, or they may be added outside of the audio component time-line.
