Claim One:
1. A system for director-style based 2D to 3D movie conversion comprising: memory configured to store at least one director-style characteristic; at least one computer configured to break a series of related images comprising a motion picture made by a particular director into one or more shots that each comprise one or more two-dimensional or 2D format images wherein said particular director is a particular person that directs said motion picture; analyze a current shot selected from said one or more shots and determine at least one director-style characteristic associated with said current shot; access a director-style parameters data structure in said memory to obtain existing director-style characteristics associated with said particular director; check said existing director-style characteristics associated with said particular director accessed from said director-style parameter data structure to determine if any existing director-style shot associated with said particular director have said at least one director-style characteristic associated with said current shot; compare said at least one director-style characteristic associated with said current shot with said existing director-style characteristics associated with said particular director and associated with said existing director-style shot and if said current shot is not similar to any said existing director-style shot, accept inputs for processing component settings and store said processing component settings in said memory; and if said current shot is similar to any said existing director-style shot, retrieve said processing component settings associated with said existing director-style shot and store said processing component settings in said memory to convert said current shot from 2D to 3D format; apply said processing component settings to said processing components; convert said shot from said 2D to said 3D format; accept any modifications to said processing component settings and update said director-style parameters data structure associated with said current shot.
