The present invention is an image in which pen characters and calligraphy are taken from directly above with a video camera.

Traditionally, pen and calligraphy materials were recorded on paper.

Traditionally, pen and calligraphy works were recorded on paper.

Traditionally, pen and calligraphy images were taken from an angle.

This has the following drawbacks.
The pen and calligraphy records on paper made it possible to understand the shape of the letter, but did not know how to actually move the pen.
In the video taken from the diagonal, the strokes can be seen, but the characters look distorted depending on the angle seen from the diagonal, and the exact shape of the characters was not known. The present invention has been made to eliminate the above drawbacks.

Set up a tripod in front of the person writing the letter, extend the legs of the tripod, set the video camera finder downward, and shoot vertically toward the paper on which the letter is written.
The present invention is a pen-character / calligraphy image constructed as described above.

Since pen and calligraphy images are taken from directly above, you can also check the “handwriting” of how the pen is actually moving, and check the shape of the letters accurately.

Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described.

Move the tripod (1) so that the viewfinder of the video camera is located directly above the paper.
The focus of the video camera (2) is not auto, and the focus is fixed according to the paper. This prevents a person's hand from being in focus and characters from becoming out of focus.
The white balance of the video camera is also set to fixed instead of auto so that the image of paper and characters will not change when the hand enters the image.
Press the recording button of the video camera (2) to start shooting.
A person begins to write. At this time, understanding how to write characters will deepen if you write them while explaining how to write them.
If the character position on the paper (6) deviates from the vertical (3) position of the video camera (2), the paper (6) is slid as it is and the vertical position (3) of the video camera (2) is Change the paper position to the position.

The recorded video is provided through DVD, video tape, Internet video distribution, video broadcasting, and the like.
