Abstract

We present Cinejack, a system for directing narrative video through live musical performance. Cinejack interprets highlevel musical content from live instruments and translates it into cinematographic actions such as edits, framings and simulated camera movements. We describe Cinejack's technical development in terms of a novel and highly pragmatic approach to interface design, where the affordances of users' own musical instruments are used as controllers through an interpretive interaction scheme.
