A Cinematography System for Virtual Storytelling

چکیده
In this paper we introduce a complete framework to automatically generate "cinematographic view" of dynamic scenes in real-time. The main goal of such a system is to provide a succession of shots and sequences (of virtual dynamic scenes) that can be related to pure cinema. Our system is based on the use of an image-based control of the camera that allows different levels of visual tasks and a multi-agent system that controls those cameras and selects the type of shot that has to be performed in order to fulfill the constraints of a given cinematographic rule (idiom). This level of adaptation constitutes the major novelty of our system. Moreover, it stands for a convenient tool to describe cinematographic idioms for real-time narrative virtual environments.

Capturing Triadic Conversations A Visual Director System for Dynamic Interactive Narrative
Film cinematography has been developed and applied for more than a century to involve and engage the viewer in visual storytelling. Interactive storytelling games can benefit from these cinematic conventions to enhance visual experience. However, even conversation scenes in games are highly dynamic, and pre-authoring camera parameters using cinematography principles is often insufficient. This ...
متن کاملA Virtual Cinematography System for First Person Shooter Games
We present a virtual cinematography system for 3D shooter games. This system replaces the strict first-person view associated with such games with a camera system that can switch between multiple camera modes. The switching is carried by the system in real time as game-play progresses. The choice of which camera modes to provide, and the decisions about how and when to employ them, are informed...

This work proposes an integrated model – the environment expression model – which supports storytelling through three channels: cinematography, illumination and music. Stories are modeled as a set of points of interest which can be characters, dialogues or sceneries. At each instant, audience’s focus is drawn to the highest priority point of interest. Expression channels reflect the type and em...
متن کاملComputational Model of Film Editing for Interactive Storytelling
Generating interactive narratives as movies requires knowledge in cinematography (camera placement, framing, lighting) and film editing (cutting between cameras). We present a framework for generating a well-edited movie from interactively generated scene contents and cameras. Our system computes a sequence of shots by simultaneously choosing which camera to use, when to cut in and out of the s...
