My PhD project investigates Natural Language Processing methods with
regard to extracting theme and mood from film/play scripts. The main
aim is to visualise the detected emotions in animations. A software
prototype, SceneMaker,
will augment short 3D scenes with emotional expressions of body language
and set. A scene will be composed of affective virtual actors and multimedia
like music, sound, illumination, timing and camera work to support
the mood and theme. A mobile, web based user interface will be created
for directors or animators to allow fine-tuning of the automatically
created animations.
