CINEMA: a system for procedural camera movements
Steven M. Drucker, Tinsley A. Galyean, David Zeltzer · 1992
This paper presents a general system for camera movement upon which a wide variety of higher-level methods and applications can be built.In addition to the basic commands for camera placement, a key attribute of the CINEMA system is the ability to inquire information directly about the 3D world through which the camera is moving.With this information high-level procedures can be written that closely correspond to more natural camera specifications.Examples of some high-level procedures are presented.In addition, methods for overcoming deficiencies of this procedural approach are proposed.
