Abstract

Designing cinematic compositions, which involves moving cameras through a scene, is essential yet challenging in filmmaking. Machinima filmmaking provides a real-time virtual environment for exploring different compositions, but it still requires significant cinematography skills and creativity. To address this, we introduce Cinemassist, a tool that helps users develop camera trajectories in a 3D animation by generating multiple composition proposals for creative exploration. Preliminary user study indicates that our system can generate useful design suggestions for experts and novices, and facilitate users' exploration and evaluation during the cinematic composition design process.
