Role-Specific Video Processing for Film Production Synchronization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video processing technologies fail to effectively provide advance preparation information to all film staff members involved in video production, leading to synchronization issues and re-shooting of scenes due to inadequate sharing of scenario details.
Innovation Solution
A video processing system that analyzes rehearsal video metadata to generate and present advance information on actual performance video, specifically tailored for different roles such as camera, sound, and lighting staff, ensuring each member can prepare accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If advance information is displayed on the monitor for all film staff members, then preparation efficiency is improved, but information processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the generic advance information into role-specific information categories (camera operations, lighting changes, sound requirements, actor movements) and delivers only the relevant segment to each staff member's device based on their assigned role, thereby maintaining high preparation efficiency while reducing information processing complexity for each individual
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by customizing the information content displayed on each staff member's device according to their specific role and responsibilities, ensuring that each person receives precisely the local (role-specific) information they need without being overwhelmed by irrelevant details
2Reliability
If role-specific advance information is provided to each staff member, then synchronization is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal information management system that handles multiple functions: storing rehearsal metadata, analyzing it for various role types, generating role-specific advance information, and distributing it through a centralized platform. This multi-functional system improves synchronization across all roles while managing complexity through unified architecture rather than separate systems for each role
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary information management system that acts as a mediator between the rehearsal metadata and the various staff members. This intermediary automatically processes the metadata, determines what information is relevant to each role, and delivers it appropriately, thereby improving synchronization without requiring direct complex interactions between all system components
3Loss of information
If comprehensive scenario information is shared with all staff, then understanding is improved, but information transmission load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential and relevant scenario information from the complete rehearsal metadata and delivers it to each staff member based on their role. For example, sound staff receive only audio-related information, lighting staff receive only lighting change information, thereby preventing information loss for their specific needs while dramatically reducing the transmission load compared to sharing all comprehensive scenario details with everyone

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a video processing apparatus and a video processing method that allow each person involved to make an advance preparation more easily. A presentation control unit controls, in such a way that, with a first scene of a captured video currently being captured used as a reference, advance information regarding a second scene is presented at a presentation timing before the second scene after the first scene, in a mode corresponding to an output destination of the captured video, the presentation of the advance information. The technology according to the present disclosure can be applied to, for example, a camera that captures video content such as a movie, a drama, or a CM.
