Abstract
The described technology is directed towards a production shot design system that facilitates previsualizing scene shots, including by members of a production crew (running client devices) in different locations in a collaborative and secure shot construction environment. Modifiable scene elements' properties and camera data can be manipulated to build a scene (shot) containing modifiable and non-modifiable scene elements. In an online, shared camera mode, changes to a scene can be communicated to other client devices, e.g., virtually immediately, so that each client device displays the change for other users to see at an interactive frame rate. Scene changes can also be made locally and/or in an offline mode before communicating to other users. In various aspects, animation and a video plane camera/video plane (e.g., greenscreen) are integrated into the production shot design system.
