Abstract
Digital cinema technology is now widely accepted by directors, directors of photography, producers, film crews, and during the post-production process. On the film set high-resolution digital motion picture cameras have entered the field. In order to exploit the full creative and organizational potential of the advanced digital production technology and to support the whole shooting process, digital video-assist systems are connected to the cameras, monitors, and auxiliary components on the set to form a computer-supported film set (CSFS). The CSFS around Vantage Film’s PSU® family of advanced video-assist systems offers intelligent support for all the roles and tasks on the film set. This paper focuses on the design of the PSU® product generations. Contextual design, agility, and patterns, both for designing control and user interface functionality, have been used extensively in the development process. This is demonstrated for the iPad-based mobile PSU® Satellite and some GUI patterns that were used for different features of the touch-screen based user interface.
