1. A method of producing metadata for post-processing in a production process of a motion picture, the method comprising steps of:
- providing a camera operative to record video content representing the motion picture, and to move in a plurality of different directions while recording the video content and shooting the motion picture;
determining location, orientation and corresponding time information for the camera in response to the movement of the camera while recording the video content and shooting the motion picture;
gathering the determined location, orientation and corresponding time information for the camera as the metadata for the recorded video content; and
wirelessly transmitting the metadata from a wireless transmitter associated with the camera to an external device for the post-processing.

8. An apparatus operative to provide metadata for post-processing in a production process of a motion picture, the apparatus comprising:
-
a receiver for a camera, the receiver being operative to provide signal communication with transmitters in known locations for determining location of the camera as the camera is moved to record video content representing the motion picture; a compass for the camera, the compass being operative to determine orientation of the camera as the camera is moved to record the video content while shooting the motion picture; and a device for determining time associated with the determined camera location and orientation as the camera is moved to record the video content while shooting the motion picture; and wherein data representing the determined location, orientation and time of the camera is gathered to represent the metadata for the recorded video content, and the metadata is wirelessly transmitted to an external device for the post-processing. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
