Vitual Camera Control System for Cinematographic 3D Video Rendering

We propose a virtual camera control system that creates attractive videos from 3D models generated with a virtualized reality system. The proposed camera control system helps the user to generate final videos from the 3D model by referring to the grammar of film language. Many kinds of camera shots and principal camera actions are stored in the system as expertise. Therefore, even nonexperts can easily convert the 3D model to attractive movies that look as if they were edited by expert film producers with the help of the system's expertise. The user can update the system by creating a new set of camera shots and storing it in the shots' knowledge database.
