Traditionally\, these parameters w ere controlled by physical hardware\, chemistry\, and optics. WIth compute r graphics\, nearly limitless control over cinematography becomes availabl e\, appearing ideal but often abused to the extent that the resulting work can be an incoherent\, atonal composition that may be innovative but is g enerally lost among the vast possibilities. Sometimes\, even worse\, it se rves merely as an end in itself. To address this\, we explore how image ma nipulation across various aspects of cinematography and beyond will shape the future of live-action production and storytelling. We envision a futur e of cinematography that employs machine learning and artificial intellige nce pragmatically\, not as a substitute for the creative and expressiv ski lls of the humans involved.\n--------------------------------------------- ------------------\n\nMy research and teaching focuses on human perception of materials\, 3D shape\, and motion — mainly through vision and touch. \nMy background includes undergraduate training in architecture\, design\, and computer graphics at The Computer Graphics Research Group of The Ohio State University\; user interface and medical imaging research and develo pment at OSU and Pixar\; animation and technical direction at Pixar Animat ion Studios1\; graduate training in environment and behavior\, cognitive s cience\, mathematical modeling and vision science at OSU\; and teaching in computer graphics\, computational methods\, psychology\, and neuroscience at OSU\, Skidmore College and the Rochester Institute of Technology.
