Abstract
In the pre-production process of filmmaking, PreViz, previsualizing the desired scene by CGI, is used as a new technique. In an alternative approach, mixed reality (MR) merges the real and virtual worlds to achieve real-time interaction between users and MR space. We propose MR-PreViz that utilized MR technology in PreViz. MR-PreViz makes it possible to merge the real background and the human and creature by CGI in open set and outdoor location. The user can consider the camera-work and camera blocking efficiently by using MR-PreViz. This paper introduces the basic concept of MR-PreViz, the design of main system, the software architecture, an authoring tool supporting selection of camera-work, and CWML (Camera-Work Markup Language) to describe camera-work.
