Abstract

One aspect of the EU funded project SAUCE is to explore the pos-sibilities and challenges of integrating light field capturing andprocessing into media productions. A special light field camera wasbuild by Saarland University [Herfet et al.2018] and is first testedunder production conditions in the test production “Unfolding” aspart of the SAUCE project. Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg de-veloped the contentual frame, executed the post-production and pre-pared a complete previsualization. Calibration and post-processingalgorithms are developed by the Trinity College Dublin and theBrno University of Technology. This document describes challengesduring building and shooting with the light field camera array, aswell as its potential and challenges for the post-production.
