Title: Non sequential automated production by self-interview kit of a video based on user generated multimedia content
Inventor: HENDERSON RUSSELL
IPC: G11B27/02
Filed: 2008-06-27
Abstract: A computer (2) is used to prepare a script (4) of prompts for a media capture device (6) such as a cell phone or a self interview kit. Discrete prompts of the script are displayed. A camera (14) then captures video clips or other assets with each video clip corresponding to one or more displayed prompt. Aclip storage module (18) stores each recorded video clip in a storage unit (20) so as to be related to its corresponding discrete prompts. The clip to prompt relationship provided by the storage module (18) facilitates the editing of the clips into a sequence to produce a complete video presentation or movie. The final video sequence compilation can be performed automatically using the script to define the order of each clip. The automatically edited video sequence may be ordered non- sequentially with respect to the order of the presentation of the discrete prompts. This reflects the non-sequential filming of scenes in film making to avoid going back and forth between locations, where the final edit assembles the clips in a different order to that in which the filming takes place.

Title: Natural stump removal matting
Inventor: HOPE BJORN
IPC: A01G13/02
Filed: 2012-05-14
Abstract: Natural stump removal sheet comprises a multi-layered aqua mat/capillary matting with a thick black plastic top layer which is positioned on top of a tree stump. The matting absorbs and retains water which provides a high moisture content around the stump which increases natural wood decay. The black plastic top layer seals in, retains and reduces moisture loss and also reduces light getting to the stump, which speeds up the natural decaying process. This layer also weakens any side shoots which may regrow from the stump. The product provides a natural habitat and food source for fungi and animals.
