    The Prose Storyboard Language: A Tool for Annotating and Directing Movies
    (The Eurographics Association, 2022) Ronfard, Rémi; Gandhi, Vineet; Boiron, Laurent; Murukutla, Vaishnavi Ameya; Ronfard, Rémi; Wu, Hui-Yin
    The prose storyboard language is a formal language for describing movies shot by shot, where each shot is described with a unique sentence. The language uses a simple syntax and limited vocabulary borrowed from working practices in traditional movie-making and is intended to be readable both by machines and humans. The language has been designed over the last ten years to serve as a high-level user interface for intelligent cinematography and editing systems. In this new paper, we present the latest evolution of the language, and the results of an extensive annotation exercise showing the benefits of the language in the task of annotating the sophisticated cinematography and film editing of classic movies.

    (Re-)Framing Virtual Reality
    (The Eurographics Association, 2022) Sagot-Duvauroux, Rémi; Garnier, François; Ronfard, Rémi; Ronfard, Rémi; Wu, Hui-Yin
    We address the problem of translating the rich vocabulary of cinematographic shots elaborated in classic films for use in virtual reality. Using a classic scene from Alfred Hitchcock's "North by Northwest", we describe a series of artistic experiments attempting to enter "inside the movie" in various conditions and report on the challenges facing the film director in this task. For the case of room-scale VR, we suggest that the absence of the visual frame of the screen can be usefully replaced by the spatial frame of the physical room where the experience takes place. This "re-framing" opens new directions for creative film directing in virtual reality.
