DESCRIPTION:*Abstract:*\n\nTraditional film and broadcast cameras capture 
 the scene from a single viewpoint\, while important creative parameters su
 ch as the camera position and orientation\, the depth of field\, and the t
 hree-dimensional (3D) parallax when using a 3D camera rig are burned into 
 the footage during acquisition.\n\nTo realize artistic effects such as the
  matrix or the vertigo effect with traditional cameras is a complex task t
 hat requires skilled personnel. For the vertigo effect\, the scene needs u
 sually to be shot multiple times until the best combination of zoom correc
 tions and dolly movement is found. \n\nAgainst this background\, a system 
 is presented that allows capturing the light field of a live action scene 
 and thus offers full creative leeway of changing camera paths and orientat
 ion\, as well as setting the focal plane in post-production. In contrast t
 o previous approaches\, the handling of the involved acquisition system is
  compact and thus suitable for on-set operation. \n\nTogether with the Ger
 man Stuttgart Media University HDM\, the Computational Imaging group at Fr
 aunhofer IIS set up a project to evaluate and demonstrates the potential o
 f shooting with multi-camera arrays and light-field processing. Details ab
 out the test production\, the underlying camera setup and post-production 
 workflow are given in the presentation.\n\n*About the presenter:*\n\nFrede
 rik Zilly is head of the Computational Imaging and Algorithms group in the
  Moving Picture Department of Fraunhofer IIS in Erlangen\, Germany. He rec
 eived a diploma degree in physics from Free University of Berlin\, and a P
 h.D. degree in Computer Science from Technical University Berlin. Before j
 oining Fraunhofer IIS\, he was scientific project manager in the Immersive
  Media and 3D Video group in the Image Processing Department at Fraunhofer
  HHI in Berlin where he was involved in several German and European resear
 ch projects related to 3DTV. In this function was mainly responsible for t
 he development of the stereoscopic analyzer (STAN) and coordinated the act
 ivities of the Fraunhofer HHI concerning the European research project MUS
 CADE project. Zilly has been honored for his work on the assistance system
  STAN (Stereoscopic Analyzer) with the Award for Outstanding Merit in Youn
 g Scientists\, the Rudolf Urtel Prize 2011. He serves as reviewer for diff
 erent international conferences and journals. His research focus lies in m
 ulti-camera image processing algorithms.
