The use of camera-equipped Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs, or "drones") for professional media production is already an exciting commercial reality. Currently available consumer UAVs for cinematography applications are equipped with high-end cameras and ...

Software tools for media production have largely been adapted from physical media paradigms, offering blank canvases upon which to import, combine, and process content. In music production, this increasingly involves meticulous manual assembly of audio ...

Professors across various disciplines in the liberal arts increasingly find themselves incorporating programming into their classes. Examples include media professors teaching web design and video game development, art professors teaching Processing, ...

This article analyzes how creativity in the making of films and TV shows is constrained as a consequence of the shift to digital production technology, and the resulting change in work activities for different crafts involved in the postproduction ...

This paper outlines the work at BBC R&D on creating a toolkit for creating object-based media content that responds to the display device and user interaction. The aim in creating this tool kit is to create a suite of tools for producers to create ...

For decades, film, video, and television have been entertaining a global audience and delivering important information or news. However, in recent years the Internet added a novel distribution channel for film, bypassing established routes like TV ...

User generated content (UGC) can complement professional content for the coverage of live events such as concerts or sports events. Live streaming of UGC from mobile devices has recently gained popularity, but most solutions aim at providing the streams ...

My research evaluates how the social, legal, and technical elements of distributed creative peer production intersect to produce successful media franchises. I examine two international case studies -- Hatsune Miku and Minecraft -- using a mixed method (...

Temporal synchronization of multiple video recordings of the same dynamic event is a critical task in many computer vision applications e.g. novel view synthesis and 3D reconstruction. Typically this information is implied through the time-stamp ...

Automatic quality control for audiovisual media is an important tool in the media production process. In this paper we present tools for assessing the quality of audiovisual content in order to decide about the reusability of archive content. We first ...

The ACM AIEMPro 2011 workshop presents research on automated media content analysis and production for, amongst others, the development of novel TV services. The program of the workshop has two sessions. The first one is composed of three papers on ...

The need to create a standard which unifies data transfer between producing companies and broadcasters of live programs will be discussed in the article, as well as examples of services which may be implemented, and the contribution of all parties ...

In this paper we explore the production of streaming media that involves live and recorded content. To examine this, we report on how the production practices and process are conducted through an empirical study of the production of live television, ...

Live media production -- the presentation of audio-visual content at events such as conferences and concerts -- is a high intensity task where a small production team must interact with an amalgamation of separate hardware tools to transform and direct ...

In many application areas, for example in design or media production processes, several authors have to work cooperatively on the same project. Thereby, a frequently used data format is XML. In this paper, we address the special requirements of ...
