• Resumen

  • In the future, movies may not be shot by lumbering cameras on rails, but by drones that automatically fly around a scene, grabbing the best possible angles without the need for human intervention. One project that aims to make this happen is by cinematography firm Technicolor and the French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation. In recent experiments, the team began by scanning a mock film set in 3D using infrared sensors. This data was then fed to algorithms that told the drones the position of any obstacles. Physical markers on the actors, which can be edited out later, allowed the drones to visually recognize when they had performers in their sights.
