Abstract or Description

This paper describes the initial development of Stageview, an hardware and software infrastructure for real-time 360o video streaming in support of video production. The system, designed to deliver an auxiliary panoramic video source to film directors, offers an interactive and comprehensive view of the stage surpassing the limit of the operator’s camera frame. In relation to traditional video production this implies a certain margin of innovation: streaming technologies allow, in fact, a new form of remote direction that can trans- form the traditional construction of a film, because actors and operators in different locations can be simultaneously controlled by the director through an Internet connection, whereas before the entire troupe had to share the same physical space. Moreover this video stream, intended as an addition to the main footage, including both the scene of the fiction and the set constructing this fiction in one signal, records what cinema - and more in general television, always tried to hide, breaking the membrane that separates object perceived and subject perceiving, in other words fracturing the classical narrative dominated by the point of view. Technical issues, current standards, objectives and decisions are discussed throughout the paper, while creative potential and future perspectives are outlined in the last part and the conclusions.
