Synchronized graphical information and time-lapse photography for weather presentations and the like

A system for generating a combined graphical information and time-lapse photography presentation, comprising:

• (a) means for obtaining a time-lapse photography video image sequence;
• (b) means for generating a dynamic graphical information presentation;
• and
• (c) means for combining the dynamic graphical information presentation with the time-lapse photography video image sequence to form a combined graphical information and time-lapse photography presentation in which both the time lapse video image sequence and the dynamic graphical information presentation change dynamically when the combined graphical information and time lapse photography presentation is played.

A method for generating a combined dynamic graphical information and video sequence weather forecast presentation, comprising the steps of:

• (a) obtaining weather condition forecast information;
• (b) generating a dynamic graphical information presentation from the weather condition forecast information;
• (c) obtaining a video image sequence of sky conditions corresponding to the weather condition forecast information;
• and
• (d) combining the dynamic graphical information presentation and the video image sequence to form a combined dynamic graphical information and video sequence weather forecast presentation in which both the video image sequence and the dynamic graphical information presentation change dynamically when the combined graphical information and video presentation is played.
