SUPPORTING SYSTEM FOR MAKING OF VIDEO / AUDIO ARTICLES BY INTERNET AND METHOD THEREOF}

The present invention relates to a system and method for producing an image, and more particularly, to a system and method for producing an image through the Internet.

In general, for recording for the production of video material (advertisement, movie, etc.), there is a problem that many production-related personnel such as copywriters, directors, advertisers, etc. must work in cooperation with each other. In other words, a large number of people have to move together to produce a video, which wastes a lot of money and time. Particularly, in case of a video commissioned by a local producer, the production is performed in Seoul, where there are many voice actors and high performance production equipment rather than a poor production environment. There is a problem that requires a lot of cost and time because it must move.

On the other hand, the completed video through the editing, such as advertisers or related personnel must check the video, usually the party had to go directly to the production site to check, or to check through the tape, such as delivered by courier. In particular, when the party is far from where the production is being made, a lot of time and money are consumed because the video must be delivered to the corresponding party, and there is a problem that a separate manpower for delivering the video is required. Even if the party goes directly to the place of manufacture, there is a problem that there are many limitations in terms of time and space. In addition, if the modification is made by the advertiser, the related party, or the broadcast deliberation in the state in which the production of the video is completed, there is a problem that additional time and cost are required again.

The finished image is delivered to each broadcasting station, which also has many problems. When satisfactory video contents are completed by the advertiser or agency, the relevant agency (Korea Broadcast Advertising Corporation) is provided to each program manager individually for each broadcasting station. That is, if an advertisement is desired in 10 programs of broadcasting station A, the 10 videos must be provided to the corresponding program manager. If the video is to be provided to the national broadcast, there is a problem in that cost, time, and manpower are required because the video must also be provided to the local broadcasting station. As a result, the above-mentioned time and manpower is additionally consumed, and the cost for producing a video material is increased, and the cost is paid to the advertiser requesting the video material production, which is an economic burden not only for the producer but also for the advertiser.

An object of the present invention to solve the above problems is to provide a system and method that can reduce the cost and time for the distribution of the image.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a system and method that can reduce the cost and time for the distribution of video content that can be used for broadcasting.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide a system and method for producing an image by a person located remotely.
