Call for Papers

Workshop on Intelligent Cinematography and Editing 2013

Part of the International Conference on the Foundations of Digital Games

Crete, May 14th-17th 2013


The expressive use of virtual cameras, mis-en-scene, lighting and texturing
within 3D synthetic environment shows great promise to extend
the communicative power of film and video into the artificial environments
of games and virtual worlds.

Cinematics produced in virtual worlds will play a role not just for
entertainment, but also for training, education, health-care communication,
simulation, visualization and many other contexts. The automatic creation
of cinematics in these environments holds the potential to produce video
sequences appropriate for the wide range of applications and tailored to
specific spatial, temporal, communicative, user and application contexts.

This workshop will bring together an interdisciplinary group of researchers
and industrial experts from fields including 3D graphics, artificial
intelligence, visualization, interactive narrative, cognitive and
perceptual psychology, computational linguistics, computational aesthetics,
visual effects and others who are working on the many related aspects of
automatic camera control.

These researchers will draw upon cutting edge research and technologies
regarding both the production and comprehension of virtual films.


Topics of interest

• Approaches to framing and composition of individual shots

• Automatic lighting design

• Intelligent staging and blocking in dynamic environments

• Expressive performance of characters

• Intelligent editing tools

• Camera-driven control of NPCs and virtual characters and sets

• Efficient algorithms for camera placement

• Shot sequence selection and the determination of high-level constraints
for the content of shots

• Integrating elements of user interaction with traditional non-interactive
camera control

• Parallels between cinematic and linguistic communication

• Cognitive models of the comprehension of virtual cinematics

• Virtual cinematography as a pre-visualization tool for real-world filming

• Intelligent tools and novel interfaces for in-game cinematics, replays,
and machinima

• Intelligent generation of comic book layouts

• Evaluation methodologies and results of user experience of virtual
cinematics

• Collaborative visual storytelling

• Creativity in cinematic communication
