Producing collaborative video: developing an interactive user experience for mobile tv

ABSTRACT

This paper presents a study of professional live TV production, investigating the work and interactions between distributed camera operators and a vision mixer during an ice hockey game. Using interview and video data, we discuss the vision mixer's and camera operators' individual assignments, showing the role of video as both a topic and resource in their collaboration. Our findings are applied in a design-oriented examination into the interactive user experience of TV, and inform the development of mobile collaborative tools to support amateur live video production.
