CVMP 2008 is the fifth in a series of events bringing together practitioners in media production from film, broadcast and games with researchers in imaging and graphics. CVMP 2008 provides a European forum for discussion of the latest research advances and state-of-the-art industry practice in content production and post-production.

Emerging new delivery platforms, like e-cinema, high-resolution displays for the home and interactive media are asking for new approaches. The aim of the conference is to show how these techniques are used in current media production and to discuss their future influence on common practice.

Papers are invited to present novel research and practical applications related to media production.
