Abstract;This paper presents a novel method for analysis and synthesis of human actions from movies. This method can capture human actions from movies by using the temporal-spatial gradient-based technique with action constraints from the scene. The captured actions are stored in an action database. We can produce a computer animation where the synthetic actors replay actions selected from the action database. Some techniques are described for action modifications according to varying the scene. We will present two actors playing together in a computer animation where the action of each actor has been captured from different old movie. (author abst.)
