Abstract

This paper considers the automated generation of humorous video sequences from arbitrary video material. We present a simplified model of the editing process. We then outline our approach to narrativity and visual humour, discuss the problems of context and shot-order in video and consider influences on the editing process. We describe the role of themes and semantic fields in the generation of content oriented video scenes. We then present the architecture of AUTEUR, an experimental system that embodies mechanisms to interpret, manipulate and generate video. An example of a humorous video sequence generated by AUTEUR is described.
