This thesis includes the design, implementation, and use of Homer, a video story generator. Homer takes a specific story model from a supplied database of logged video. Along with the story, a report is created of how well the story model matches the video. The purpose of this application is to encode expert editing knowledge in the form of story models. These models can then be reused by non-experts to create meaningful edits from different collections of video.
