Before watching a movie, what if you can set its
age restrictions (Under 16 & Under 18) yet
retaining the same story but different scenes ?

8. Elastic Videos
Is applying the state
of the art in Artificial

intelligent videos for
use in Education and
Entertainment
industries

Is applying engineering
design to the process
of writing, production

10. There is a journey embedded in every video (or Movie )
Does it have to be only one road leading to destination ?

11. A Video
Message = Story; I would use them interchangeably

12. A Video
Can we separate the story from the scenes ?
12

13. An Intelligent Video
Can we have different scenes for the same
message inside a video ?
13

14. Fowe’s Elastic Videos
A Video = A Story + The Scenes
Video = Const Story + Const Scenes
Video = Const Story + Dynamic Scenes

15. Today’s (Digital) Videos
You have 10 of 3hrs video
lectures to watch in a day
what would you do ? 

16. Next Generation Videos
- Elastic Videos
Within a Min & Max time range
for a particular video, we should
be able to set the length of a
video to watch and capture all
the important points in the
entire video
16

17. Next Generation Videos
- Elastic Videos
We should be able to set the
mode to watch a video (or
Movie) . The possible modes can
be: -sex; +romance; +action;
-horror

18. Elastic Videos Technology ?
The answer is the application of
Artificial Intelligence to next
generation digital video format
and the use of Cloud Computing
to provide access to the videos.

19. Elastic Videos - Application Areas
Education – Recorded training
and online tutorials would be
more personalized

20. Elastic Videos - Application Areas
Sports – You can watch one
single recorded football match
several times by setting
emphasis on a particular team,
or fouls, or a star player, or
the referee! 

21. Elastic Videos - Application Areas
Entertainment Industry – There is
chances of solving the Piracy
problem.
If people can order to watch a new
movie online, they would love to re-
order and watch the same movie
over and over again.
