ARFMS: An AR-based WYSIWYG Filmmaking System

This paper proposes a novel “What You See Is What You Get” filmmaking system, called as ARFMS. It provides users with a low cost and easy to use system to make movies. Users cannot only realtime visualize the performance with computer-generated objects, but also visual effects films will be finished without post-production. After finished the screenplay, the performance will be shot on-site using an ordinary camera. CG objects will be simply and effectively controlled by natural interaction. Then users can apply the DR-marker just like an actual scene element, because it takes the advantages of markerbased and markerless-based registration approaches. This paper implements ARFMS to achieve previsualization and real-time finish the film using augmented reality technology. The user can perform with the CG character and stage property just like real ones.
