Abstract

This paper present a system designed to automate the production of digital movies with various visual effects like three-dimension (3D) animation, real image, and their composition. The system can understand an inputted screenplay through a parser then automatically translates it into a relevant motion picture under the direction of a virtual director in place of a human one. The virtual director uses cinematic knowledge to achieve user´s intentions through knowledge-based approach. We discuss the design of such a system DMP and the results of its use. Video data is encoded in XML and tracked by the MPEG-7 standard.
