This paper proposes a multidrone approach for autonomous cinematography planning. The use of drones for aerial cinematography is becoming a trend. Therefore, the aerial cinematography opens a new field of application for autonomous platforms that need to develop intelligent capabilities. This becomes even more challenging if a team of multiple drones are considered for cooperation. This paper i...

Cinematography has evolved as a set of guidelines for filming motion pictures that ensures a standard is adhered to and the events are presented in a coherent manner. Principles of cinematography can be employed such that supplementary information is communicated when necessary and the viewer does not become disoriented due to the camera work. We propose that these and other principles of cinem...

Cinematography is a key aspect in the development of modern computer games. The quality of the visuals depends, not only on the accuracy of the rendering, but on the way that the scene is presented to the player. Which element should be included in the frame, from which point of view and in which positions are all aspects that have been widely studied in classical cinematography. However, it is...

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...

Traditionally film making costs a huge amount of money and a great deal of time and labor. Converting traditional techniques of film making into virtual techniques could save money, time and labor. In this research, we have established a director friendly virtual camera work, which gives a film director the freedom to look through the shots before shooting. This way, a director is able to make ...
