Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 671: Invading brain cells

   In fact, how to show sufficient acting skills in motion capture has always been a problem.

   This problem is both technical and performance-

  Technically, the current motion capture technology is still very poor in capturing facial expressions. Until 2004's "Polar Express", the expressions of the characters created by motion capture technology still looked stiff.

  -even if the actor who captures the action in the animated film is Tom Hanks, the Oscar double actor.

   In the performance, the performance required for motion capture is also different from the normal performance.

  ——This kind of performance requires more imagination and expressiveness.

  Many actors who act and image well during normal shooting, sometimes behave very generally in this respect.

  , on the contrary, are some actors who are not well-known and usually not well-known, but they have unique experience in the performance of motion capture.

  -For example, he became famous in "Avatar" and later became Zoe Saldana of Camora in "Guardians of the Galaxy", or Andy Serkins.

   Especially Andy Serkins, who is known as the king of motion capture.

   The "Gollum" portrayed in the "Lord of the Rings" series and the "Caesar" portrayed in the "Rise of the Apes" series are both milestone achievements in motion capture performances.

  —Of course, these are all in Charlotte's original time and space.

   In the present time and space, due to the guidance and promotion of Charlotte, a traverser, the Phantom Party studio has a much higher level of motion capture technology than that of Hollywood at the same time in another time and space.

   What's more, as early as when filming "The Mummy", Charlotte had already instructed the people in the Ghost Party studio and secretly opened the motion capture skill tree.

   In the original time and space, Cameron gradually solved the facial expression capture problem until the time of "Avatar". Charlotte also directly stabbed the layer of window paper.

——Although it is still a bit troublesome to develop miniature motion capture cameras that are hung on top of the actor’s head and specifically used to capture facial expressions, it is already considered a dead-end method compared to the dead-end method of using external machines to capture facial expressions. It’s a shortcut...

  ************

   In short, up to now, the motion capture technology used by the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is much more advanced than Charlotte's original time and space.

  -Although it may not have reached the level of "Avatar", after the concentrated research of the technical staff of the Ghost Party studio, it is not far away.

   It's just that, because in the script of "Pirates of the Caribbean", there are a lot of location shooting, especially the second and third parts, which requires a lot of motion capture work to be done outdoors.

   To a certain extent, this will naturally cause additional technical difficulties.

  —After all, "Avatar" was shot in the studio all the time.

   Fortunately, Charlotte also has a plug-in method of magic effects.

  ...In general, motion capture technology has no problems for the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" in terms of technology.

   However, the performance experience cannot be solved overnight——

   You know, Charlotte’s original time and space, the first large-scale successful application of Hollywood motion capture technology recognized as the "Gollum" in "Lord of the Rings".

   But in this time and space, the time is only the end of 2000, the first "Lord of the Rings" series will not be released until next year.

   And "Gollum", played by Andy Serkis, will officially appear in the second "Two Towers".

   This makes Hollywood not many actors who are good at motion capture performances.

   The crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is no exception.

On the contrary, whether it is the crew of the "Black Pearl" who was cursed by the gold coin treasure in the first part and turned into the "Moonlight Skull", or the sea monster crew of the "Flying Dutchman" in the second and third parts To shoot them well, they all need to perform with motion capture technology.

  Especially the octopus-head captain David Jones, the scene is still very heavy, comparable to the "Gollum" in "Lord of the Rings".

  -It can be said that because of the advancement of time, "Pirates of the Caribbean" replaced "Lord of the Rings" and became Hollywood's pioneer in motion capture technology.

  ——This is also why Charlotte asked Depp and Ruifan to study more about how to perform in motion capture.

   Of course, he also made other preparations——

   Apart from anything else, Andy Serkins, the future "Gollum," the king of motion capture, was assigned by Charlotte to the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" to follow up the research on motion capture performance.

   To a certain extent, Charlotte is actually a fake business for private purposes.

   After all, "Pirates of the Caribbean" investment, Disney is the big one. The "Lord of the Rings" series is based on the investment of Charlotte's own Ghost Party studio.

In this case, Charlotte used Disney's money to research and experiment with motion capture technology, and then let Andy Serkins master it, and then perform in the "Lord of the Rings" series he invested in, naturally taking advantage of Disney. .

   However, this is not a problem.

   In fact, borrowing other people’s money to develop your own technology is popular not only in Hollywood, but in the field of technology development all over the world.

   To a certain extent, this is also regarded as a hidden industry rule.

  The people at Disney knew this well, but this part of the investment was inevitable after all, and they let Charlotte play freely.

  **********

   At present, the main problem that the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" faces in terms of motion capture is that the actors generally lack experience in motion capture performances.

   Or, according to Charlotte, everyone is more or less lacking in imagination.

   In this regard, Charlotte is not without help.

  Actually, he used a very good method before shooting "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", "The Mummy" and "Detective Sherlock Holmes" ~www.readwn.com~.

  -is to connect the dreams of the actors involved in the filming together.

  ——In short, let them take pictures while daydreaming.

   In the dream, Charlotte can guide the imagination of the actors and form the illusion they need.

  ——In this way, the problem of actors’ "lack of imagination" is no longer a problem.

   It’s just that, in order to connect everyone’s imagination, the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" must first complete the design of the monster images, so that he can guide and unify everyone’s imagination in their dreams.

   At this point, Charlotte had been designing the art and special effects department behind the scenes early in the morning.

  -After all, he believes in the American view of "first use the largest gun".

  -whether it's facing ghosts, filming or wife Charlize, this is true.

   What's more, since the Ghost Party Studios determined the profit maximization policy of movie and game linkage, various monster image designs in Charlotte movies can be reused in linkage games. Naturally, this work cannot be relaxed.

   And now that the design of the art and special effects department is about to be completed, Charlotte can finally make a big move.........
