In consequence, special attention is required on set to frame the scene and to pull the focus. Against this background, we propose a light-field capturing and processing system, suitable to be used on set, and allowing to change the camera viewpoint and focal plane in postproduction. Our approach involves a synchronized array of compact high definition cameras to capture multiple viewpoints enabling a high image quality of the resulting footage. Based on computational imaging methods virtual camera positions and synthetic apertures will be created afterwards. First scenes captured with such an array will be demonstrated.enconference paper
