Although Hugo had watched the completed version of "Independence Day" a long time ago, he was still amazed by witnessing the production process of all the visual effects. Walker Engel (.engel), the general director of "Independence Day" visual effects, also He explained the position of the three-dimensional space to Hugo in detail. He directly took Hugo to their "battle room" and used Lego blocks to cover up every detail of the important scenes in the movie to Hugo.
Rick and the others left because they felt too boring. Only John and Walker accompanied Hugo. The three of them discussed more and more energetic, which also made Hugo feel the movie vision more comprehensively. The difficulty of special effects production, many times a ten-second shot often requires them to complete the production frame by frame for days or even weeks. The wonderful shots presented on the big screen are just a pair of still images in the hands of these technical nerds, which makes people can't help but sigh the power of special effects technology.
No wonder the production cycle of many commercial blockbusters and 3D computer animations is very long, and the production of computer special effects has never been an easy task.
This is the process of Hugo's comprehensive understanding of another type of work in the film production industry in addition to the position of the screenwriter. Of course, this is helpful for Hugo's performance, but the really relevant part of the movie special effects is the director, Hugo. It is destined to have no talent for director. But it is undeniable that this has given Hugo a deeper understanding of film production. After he has made breakthroughs in acting, a whole new world is revealed to him.
"Wow, you really made my people totally excited." A low and majestic voice came from the door, which made Hugo and John both look up in the room, while Walker was still competing. Draw feet and said, "Maybe we can exaggerate the proportions a bit, just like an ant standing in front of Mount Everest, highlighting the terrible alien warship and the arduous task of the hero..."
Hugo closed his eyes and said to Walker, "This ratio is too high. You must consider that the actor can only launch one bomb at the last moment. He blew up the main control room, but the entire spacecraft Will all the chain reactions blow up? Even if they do, can there be no other aliens who can escape? So, I think you should use an elephant and Mount Everest as a ratio."
Listening to Hugo's slightly ridiculous metaphor, John couldn't help but laugh, but Walker nodded his head sincerely, "Yes, I'm drawing a design scale first, and then see the effect." After that, Walker faced the rain. Guo waved his hand, "Thank you." He turned around and walked outside. When passing by the door, he hurriedly said hello, "Hey, George", and then left without stopping.
The man standing at the door spread his hands helplessly, "We are used to it here. In front of them, I have been ignored too many times."
"People who are really engaged in work won't have time to flatter, do they? George." Hugo felt it was normal. In fact, these people at Industrial Light and Magic, including George Lucas, They are all idiots who focus on the research of computer special effects technology wholeheartedly. Their concentration and devotion are the key to success.
"I like this view." The man standing at the door is the unique George Lucas, "John, thank you for your help today, I think you can be relieved."
John was a little blushing when George said that John was obviously unwilling to accept the reception work before Hugo arrived. At this time, he was pierced in this way by George. John looked at Hugo apologetically and said with a smile, " Everything is very happy today, and I hope I have another chance to meet next time." This is the truth.
After watching John leave, George walked into their fighting room. "When many people came here to visit, most of them didn’t have any interest in this place, but you took Walker and John here for more than half an hour. This is really true. rare."
Hugo and George have met several times and talked many times, but they have never been alone. After all, the two have no experience of direct cooperation. They don’t want "Independence Day" but they have built a bridge between them. .
"I just published some unrealistic fantasy. There is no credit. You must know that fantasy is the ability of everyone." Hugo looked at the Lego toy that had not been taken apart, the colorful spaceship. The model does not have the majesty of "Independence Day", but it looks more childish. Hugo couldn't help but smile. He really didn't expect that Industrial Light and Magic could still use toys in this way.
George came over, took a close look at the Lego toys on the table, and shook his head, "No, you are wrong. Everyone can fantasize, but not everyone's fantasies are meaningful."
Hugo felt like he was hit in the knee, because he was obviously not the kind of person with rich imagination. "In addition, not everyone’s fantasy can become reality, so we need to communicate, we need a team, and we need different ideas. Make a collision so that sparks can burst." George continued, which made Hugo nod too.
You can never create new things behind closed doors.
"So I am very interested in your testing ground on the first floor. When I was a child, I imagined that I had such a place. Then I made Transformers armor out of a cardboard box, and used the handle of a broom as a weapon. Hit.” Hugo said with a smile from his childhood memories, which made George also smile, “But when I saw on the big screen, you used motion capture technology to capture the performance of the actors, and then created virtual characters. At that time, I knew that my imagination was too poor, and I was too far away from real innovation. I once talked to my friends about how the combat mode in Star Wars is really cool..."
"Wait, what did you say?" George interrupted Hugo's words suddenly, which made Hugo stunned, "Uh, the lightsaber in Star Wars?" George shook his head, "No, No, go ahead."
Hugo felt George's serious gaze, but he was completely confused. At this moment, he felt that he and these technical talents were not on the same plane at all. "I have no imagination?" Hugo tried to recall. He was talking, but everything was just thinking of what to say, and he was not giving a speech, so he didn't remember at all, "You use motion capture technology, uh... to capture the performance of the actors?"
"Yes, that's it!" George grabbed the edge of the table suddenly and looked at Hugo curiously. "What do you mean by that?"
Hugo doesn’t understand even more now, "Motion capture technology is the kind of technology you used when you created Master Yoda. Let an actor play the role. What high technology do you use to capture his movements and then make them on the computer? To create a virtual character, this method is more realistic and natural in terms of makeup technology, because the actions and expressions of the virtual character can be consistent with the real person."
Motion capture technology is another technology that is a milestone in the development of the film industry. The iconic character is Gollum in the "Lord of the Rings" series, and later in the "Rise of the Apes: Dawn.of.the.pla.of". ".The.apes reached its peak, and Andy Serkins (andy.), known as the first person in motion capture, used motion capture technology to test the orangutan Caesar, and dedicated a performance that was enough to impact the Oscar actor.
This is also a brand new field that has been developed following the green screen acting skills and with the development of computer special effects, which places extremely high demands on actors. Among the countless works in the history of the development of motion capture technology, "Avatar" is even more famous and irreplaceable.
Hugo doesn't remember these things very clearly. He remembers that the Master Yoda in "Star Wars" was made in this way, but why does George look surprised?
"No, no, Master Yoda is a complete virtual character. Our technology has not yet reached such a high level. We used the model to assist in the dubbing of the film." George's words immediately made Hugos. It’s bad, I really don’t understand. Don’t pretend to understand. Hugo completely confuses the "Star Wars" series and the "Star Wars: Prequel" series. Master Yoda really relied entirely on computer special effects when it was made in 1999. At this time, the computer The special effects have really matured, "The idea you just gave me an inspiration, why can't we use actors to play Master Yoda? Then use computer special effects to achieve more realistic effects!"
Fortunately, George did not continue to pursue the investigation. He just thought it was Hugo’s whimsical idea, but Hugo was frozen in place. He didn’t really know much about these computer technologies, so he was afraid to say too much. . But George didn't want to let Hugo go. "Why do you have this idea? It's really bold. Do you have any special ideas?"
In fact, what Hugo doesn’t know is Industrial Light & Magic has always been focusing on the production of computer special effects. Later, Master Yoda relied entirely on computer special effects to make it. The lifelike effects made countless people amazed. . And motion capture is another technology, which is not the initial specialization of Industrial Light and Magic.
It is Weta Digital (weta.) that really promotes motion capture. This company was founded by Peter Jackson, the director of the "Lord of the Rings" series, and his friends. "Avatar" is the first film in film history to be completed entirely by motion capture, which was jointly completed by Weta Digital and Industrial Light & Magic.
Of course, later Industrial Light and Magic also made a historic contribution to the advancement of motion capture technology, which gave birth to a magnificent epic blockbuster like "The Rise of the Apes (.of.the.pla.of.the.apes .
Weta Digital, founded in 1993, is only a newcomer now, and no one has even heard of the company's name.
Hugo didn't quite understand all this, but he just said it loudly, which made Hugo stiff at once. Sure enough, don't pretend to understand if you don't understand, otherwise you will only suffer. But now? What should we do now? Hugo looked at George with a look of expectation, his words stuck in his throat, "This..."
