WICED 2012 - Workshop on Intelligent Cinematography and Editing

Workshop on Intelligent Cinematography and Editing
May 28th and 29th, 2012
Marriott City Center, Raleigh, NC
Part of the The International Conference on the Foundations of Digital Games 2012
Note submission date extended to March 12, 2012!
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.
The Workshop on Intelligent Cinematics and Editing (WICED) 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.
For more information about the workshop, see the call for papers or contact the conference co-organizers, Arnav Jhala or R. Michael Young. Potential attendees should note that this workshop is a two-day workshop, running both May 28th and 29th (in contrast to all other workshops at FDG2012, which are only 1 day events held on May 29th).
WICED 2012 is co-located with an sponsored through the International Conference on the Foundations of Digital Games 2012.
