Superstar

Looking at the heated discussion in front of him, Hugo finally understood what a "brainstorming" is. A small topic can trigger a steady stream of whimsical ideas in everyone's mind; a simple technique can lead to endless possibilities. Endless related discussions.

The first time motion capture technology was actually put into filming in 1990 was "Total Recollection". In the movie, the male protagonist played by Arnold Schwarzenegger showed the whole body bone state when passing through X-rays, which used optical motion capture. Technically completed.

In the first ten years of this technology, it was more used to present the real actions of special characters, such as the Gollum in the "Lord of the Rings" series, such as the gorilla in "King Kong (., such as the "Star Wars Episode". The aliens in the series use motion capture technology to truly present the anthropomorphic actions of these special characters, which is unmatched by computer special effects technology.

However, the technology developed later, and gradually developed from simple movements to expressions, then to eyes, and finally became a performance capture technology. Simply put, it is to show every detail of the actor's performance through performance capture technology, injecting soul into the virtual character.

Imagine that the famous Chinese book "Journey to the West" is completely completed using performance capture technology, not special makeup, not headgear and prosthesis, but through the real performance of the actor, with computer special effects, perfectly presenting the story of "Journey to the West" Realization, what a magnificent thing this will be.

After the performance capture technology was perfected, the dragon Smaug played by Benedict Cumberbatch (.), the orangutan Caesar played by Andy Serkis, that is to say, "Jurassic Park" appeared. All the dinosaur characters appearing in the show can be performed by actors-real performances give these virtual characters real life, show realistic performances, and take the movie to the next level.

Of course, from motion capture to performance capture, this has condensed the unremitting research and hard work of generations of technical personnel for fifteen years, and it will continue in the future. Today's small brainstorm can only be said to be the beginning, but the seeds sown after the collision of wisdom have quietly taken root at this time. Perhaps Hugo inadvertently promoted the development of history.

"Did you see the enthusiasm of these lads?" George looked at Hugo, who was silent on the side, and spoke actively.

At this time, three people had already spread out the drawings on the table, and they couldn't wait to outline them on the paper, completely activist. Hugo was dizzy with the mess of lines on the drawings. Hugo chuckled, "This is really an amazing picture, you know, I think of a group of geeks in the eleventh grade, discussing topics that we don't understand. ."

Geeks at this time are still a new term, specifically used to describe the weird people who have endless enthusiasm for computers. Because computers are not yet popular at this time, people are not aware of the changes and impacts that computers have brought to the world. There are even people. Think that computers will bring about the destruction of the world. Therefore, geek is a term with a strong derogatory meaning.

"Then the big men on the football team laughed at them for being a sissy." George took Hugo's topic, which made Hugo raise his hands, "I'm not a member of the football team." This made George haha. He laughed endlessly, "No, I know what's going on in school, but the kids in school don’t understand the world. Of course, football is very important. For God’s sake, this is currently the most profitable in the United States. The sports league of China-but many times, geeks are also changing the world in their own way. This is something that silly big guys with a muddled brain in addition to sports can't do."

George's words were full of ridicule and sarcasm, causing Hugo to smile and nodded, "Thank you for coming today."

This sudden sentence immediately made Hugo feel inexplicable, but George looked at Hugo seriously, "I originally had some small expectations for your coming. It’s very rare to be interested in the things of the kind.” A ridicule made Hugo a little embarrassed, “but I didn’t expect that you brought me a surprise. I really appreciate your inspiration for us.”

"George, you are making me ashamed." Hugo said quickly. This is the truth, not modest. He really doesn't know anything about motion capture technology. It is estimated that the principle just mentioned is also full of holes. Hugo made an axe, and now he has received compliments from George, which really makes Hugo feel embarrassed.

George shook his head again and again, "No, I'm not being polite. Hugo, you know, what your little unintentional remarks mean to us geeks?" Hugo couldn't help but stunned. This opens the door to a new world for us, just like exploring a new galaxy in the universe. This world is full of mysteries, miracles, and unknowns. Perhaps this will change the pattern of computer special effects in the next ten years."

Hugo was really choked. He didn’t know how to respond to George’s words. George saw the dazed face on Hugo’s face and couldn’t help but chuckle. “I’m currently discussing a new work with James, maybe In this work, we can try to use this technology for the first time, for example, to build a motion capture database, and then use the computer to produce the real effect of the turbulent crowd when making big scenes. This can not only save the search for a large number of actors in training. Time, to achieve the goal of cost control, and at the same time make the shooting process easier to control, every'extra actor'..."

Having said that, George also playfully raised his hands and made a double-quote gesture, "All can be under our control. This is very important for the director. You don’t know James’ control freak," He can't wait to control the switches on every actor with his own hands. Very good, I think the problem has been solved now."

Hugo was directly amused by George's lively words. He never thought that George Lucas, who has always been a serious and blunt image in front of the media, had such a side in private. Or to be more precise, this is also because George loves the job of computer special effects so much, and this is where his passion lies.

"So, dear Hugo, you did a great thing." George looked at Hugo solemnly and said sincerely, "Thank you, thank you sincerely."

Hugo was completely flattered at this time. Although he and Steven Spielberg and David Geffen were good friends, they had never faced such a battle. George Lucas, this is an important figure in the history of American cinema, but now he is sincerely expressing his gratitude to him? That powerful sense of reality made Hugo's mouth lifted slightly.

"Please forgive me for being proud, I now feel as if I can fly into the sky when a gust of wind blows." Hugo did not hide his self-satisfaction, but such a real expression made George laugh, "Maybe, I I really did a great thing. Although my credit seems to be too simple, I just stood here and moved my lips to see the sweat on their foreheads and their red-faced faces when they argued. I was really... flattered. ."

Hugo’s self-ridicule made George chuckle. He always had a good impression of Hugo, not because of Steven’s admiration, but because he knew that Hugo was a real person—no matter what Whether it is acting or the understanding of the movie, the most important thing is that Hugo clearly knows his position, not to exaggerate arrogance but not to be overly modest, which is one of the few in Hollywood.

Today, George refreshed his impression of Hugo. He suddenly understood why the DreamWorks led by Steven was willing to fully support Hugo. Perhaps they can also have more opportunities for cooperation in the future.

"Many times, the wisdom of the brain is the source of everything." George pointed to his gray-haired brain and said lightly. The self-confidence revealed in the casual words gave Hugo a glimpse of the movie special effects giant. Domineering and domineering, but immediately, George showed a smile and changed the subject, "Today is the Golden Globe Awards ceremony. I remember, you don't seem to be interested in it."

Hugo shrugged, "How could I refuse the temptation of Industrial Light and Magic. Although I am not a fan of Luke, it does not prevent me from having a strong interest in the black samurai lightsaber." Hugo also I've taken this topic lightly, and like George, in a field he is familiar with, Hugo's self-confidence exudes from the inside out.

George chuckled twice ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It seems that many people are destined to be disappointed tonight. "

The facts are also true. Although the news that Hugo was absent from the Golden Globes was due to the good operation of both parties, there was no uproar, but it is undeniable that when the Golden Globes red carpet is over, whether they are present The reporters, the audience present, the ceremony staff, and the audience in front of the TV all felt that something was missing in their hearts.

Even the star-studded audience couldn't hide the fact that Hugo, the world leader, did not appear on the scene.

It’s hard to believe that at a star-studded awards ceremony, people will notice the absence of "one" star, but this is reality. Almost everyone is looking forward to the miracle at the last moment-after all, Rick said that if circumstances permit, Hugo will still show up, won't he? Including the Hollywood Foreign Press Association itself is also faintly looking forward to the last moment Hugo's figure will appear at the end of the red carpet.

Unfortunately, they were still disappointed. The 53rd Golden Globe Awards has not had time to officially kick off. Many people have lost interest in the ceremony. The absence of Hugo makes the always-sexy Golden Globes look embarrassed.

Everyone misses Hugo, even those who hate him.
