## Abstract

To reduce the burden of animation production, an animation production system comprises a virtual camera that shoots a character placed in a virtual space; an asset store provided in the virtual space in which an asset available for the shooting is disposed in the virtual space; and a virtual hand of a user in the virtual space, wherein the asset selected from the asset store can be operated by the virtual hand.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An animation production system comprising:
a virtual camera that shoots a character placed in a virtual space;
an asset store provided in the virtual space in which an asset available for the shooting is disposed in the virtual space; and
a virtual hand of a user in the virtual space,
wherein the asset selected from the asset store can be operated by the virtual hand.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The animation production system according to claim 1, wherein
the selected asset will be used at cost.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The animation production system according to claim 2, wherein
the selected asset can be operated prior to payment of the cost.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The animation production system according to claim 1, wherein
the selected asset has a available time.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The animation production system according to claim 1, wherein
the asset in the asset store is provided by a server connected via a network.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The animation production system according to claim 1, wherein
the asset in the asset store includes a character or object.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The animation production system according to claim 1, wherein
the asset in the asset store includes a character or an object with movement.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The animation production system according to claim 7, wherein
the movement of the character or object with the movement is a sample movement in which the movement is interrupted in the middle.
