Abstract

The aim of this research is to develop a system to support video artists. We have analysed the process of making a video sequence in collaboration with an experienced video artist so that design rationales of the system for artists can be obtained through artists' practices. Based on this analysis we identified design rationales for a system to support the process of making a video sequence, then a prototype system called "Knowledge Nebula Crystallizer for Time-based Information (KNC4TI)" has been developed accordingly. Further development towards a generative system is also discussed.
