Abstract
This paper introduces an easy way of authoring and presenting a user's own story in the form of animation on the World Wide Web. Since visual authoring is difficult and time-consuming, most of the existing online story-making tools support text-based authoring, and a few others allow users the freedom of choosing characters from a given database. Comparatively, we suggest a way of incorporating a user's own sketches of characters and scenes to build a story without demanding much intervention from the user. We also present an automatic view control method to transform simple sketches into animation on the web.
