ABSTRACT:
In a media production system, two-dimensional images captured from physical objects are analyzed to create three-dimensional representations of the physical objects within a virtual stage. Representations of physical and synthetic objects are manipulated and choreographed in the virtual stage within an integrated system which also generates a media product in the form of a two-dimensional image stream of the physical and synthetic objects with optional synchronized audio tracks. A correlation is maintained between object models in the virtual stage and the original two-dimensional images so that information from those images can be included in the final product. To facilitate direction of combined media products, a composite display of the three-dimensional virtual stage and a two-dimensional preview are provided. Also provided are a score display providing temporal representations of elements within the scene and an object catalog of object oriented representations of elements within the scene.
