author keywords: Discourse generation; machinima generation; planning
TL;DR:
This paper presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of an end-to-end camera planning system called Darshak, which utilizes a hierarchical partial-order causal link (POCL) planning algorithm to generate narrative plans that contain story events and camera directives for filming them.
