Abstract

Methods, apparatus and systems related to production of a movie, a TV show or a multimedia content are described. In one example aspect, a system for producing a movie includes a pre-production subsystem configured to receive information about a storyline, cameras, cast, and other assets for the movie from a user. The pre-production subsystem is configured to generate one or more machine-readable scripts corresponding to one or more scenes. The system includes a production subsystem configured to receive the scripts from the pre-production system to determine constraints among the scenes. The production subsystem is further configured to determine actions for the cameras and the cast for obtaining footages according to the storyline. The system includes a device management subsystem configured to control the cameras and the cast based on the determined actions by the production system and a post-production editing system configured to receive the footages from the production subsystem for performing video and audio editing.
