How was Avatar 2 filmed?
1, innovative motion capture
The first is the virtual system of motion capture scene. Motion capture technology is usually shot like this:
Actors wearing motion capture suits with marked points can reflect infrared rays back to a fixed camera, and the camera provides data points for animators, which can be used to create animated characters later.
Cameron selects the final shots of these performances through the volume capture system, including the close-ups of human emotions shown by CG characters from the beginning, which will eventually be rendered by Vita Digital.
2. Further promote 3D technology.
After the performance was captured, the film crew packed their bags and went to New Zealand to shoot all the real scenes with Fusion 3D camera.
The fusion shooting device includes two Sony F950s cameras, which are used to shoot the native 3D lens, one is installed horizontally and the other is installed vertically. The camera shoots through a spectroscope, that is, one camera shoots the left-eye lens and the other shoots the right-eye lens.
Previous 3D cameras were all fixed in one device, but Fusion 3D devices can connect multiple cameras. Imitating the way the human eye adjusts the depth and focus, this creates a more natural 3D effect, which is in line with our own visual effect.
Fusion 3D devices are also used to photograph the combination of CGI and real elements. It is called Simulcam system, and the reflection mark is placed on the Fusion 3D camera so that it can be recognized by the motion capture system.
Through the camera monitor, the action elements in real life can be accurately synthesized with the CG performance actions captured before. Now, we call it augmented reality.
3.simulcam system
When CGI is combined with real scenes, Simulcam provides more controllability and flexibility. The traditional shooting method is to let the actors shoot against the green screen first, and then the animators combine the works with the actors later, which usually leads to some unnecessary concessions. The Simulcam system provides more accurate reference points for actors and filmmakers, thus reducing these potential concessions.
They can adjust the overall frame, or adjust the matching degree between the real action and CG action, and the final result will present a perfect shot with seamless connection.
Introduction to Avatar Story
More than ten years after the story happened. Jack Sally is a former paraplegic naval soldier. He has become an "Avatar" with the genes of earthlings and Na 'vi permanently, and married Nitley, the daughter of Omaticaya tribal leader.
Jack has completely adapted to his new body and patriarch status, has three children with Neytiri and adopted Grace's daughter Qili.
Among the four children, the eldest, Natiyan, is the most sensible and obedient, and he is also good at taking care of his younger brother and sister. The second child, Qi Li, is very sensitive because she doesn't know who her father is. The third Locke loves adventure and is a troublemaker at home. Tucker, the youngest sister, always clings to her brothers and sisters.
The four of them are inseparable friends with the orphan "Spider" left by human beings.
It turned out that Jack and his family lived an idyllic life with their people after driving away the earthlings. However, Colonel Miles Quaritch, who died originally, came back as Avatar, bent on revenge against Jack and Neytiri.
For the safety of his people and the protection of his children, Jack decided to leave with his family and start a new life in the hard-to-find marine tribe led by Ronald and Te Novari. Just as the family finally adapted to the new home built with water after many times of running-in, a new crisis is slowly approaching.
