Claim One:
1. A method comprising using at least one hardware processor for: receiving a three-dimensional model of an object, wherein the three-dimensional model is embodied as a digital file that comprises a representation of the object; receiving an audio sequence embodied as a digital file that comprises a musical composition; generating a video frame sequence, wherein the generating comprises computing a caricature of the object by applying a computerized caricaturization algorithm to the three-dimensional model, wherein the computing comprises: scaling gradient fields of surface coordinates of the three-dimensional model by a function of a Gaussian curvature of the surface, finding a regular surface whose gradient fields fit the scaled gradient fields, and amplifying the scaling according to local discrepancies between the object and a reference object, wherein the reference object is not a scaled down version of the object, wherein (a) the computing is with a different exaggeration factor for each of multiple ones of the video frames, and (b) the different exaggeration factor is based on one or more parameters of the musical composition of the audio sequence; and synthesizing the audio sequence and the video frame sequence into an audiovisual clip.
