Application of Adobe Software in Movie Avatar

Using Adobe® Creative Suite® Production Premium software, director James Cameron led his production team to create this exciting 3D stereoscopic movie.

The movie "Avatar" shows the audience a spectacular world beyond imagination. The protagonist set off from earth to alien planet and embarked on an epic adventure; in the end, the hero decided to fight to defend the alien planet Pandora, which he regarded as his new "homeland". As early as fifteen years ago, James Cameron, who won the Oscar for best director award with "Titanic", began to conceive the film; however, due to technical constraints at the time, he could not The fabulous hero blockbuster moved to the big screen.
Today, "Avatar", which has been filmed and produced for four years, has finally been released, bringing audiences a new cinema experience: revolutionary filmmaking technology perfectly blends movies, character emotions and storylines, making people not only immersive. And completely immersed in it. Under the leadership of Cameron, an excellent production team (including producer Jon Lando) made full use of a series of Adobe technologies including Adobe Creative Suite Production Premium software for special effects production The "Avatar" has become an incredible, lifelike visual gluttonous feast!

"Avatar" producer Jon Landau said, "Some software can only help you get the job done, some software can make you get the job done better. The Adobe software package is the kind that helps us better Software that does the job properly. "

Beautiful new world

In this film with interstellar colonial as the main line, humans mixed themselves with the DNA of the Namei, cloned a 9-foot-high "Avatar", and let human consciousness enter it. The film uses a lot of unprecedented new 3D stereo production technology, which realizes the perfect fusion of computer synthesis (CG) and live performance.

The film used more than 3,000 special effect lenses. In the production process, we first need to create the entire virtual world, from grass and trees to various creatures, spaceships, floating mountains and backgrounds, everything must be truly and perfectly presented. In addition, the production team must also shoot live actors in front of the green screen, which is quite time-consuming. Finally, through technical processing, the actors' performance and the 3D virtual world Tianyi are seamlessly combined.

In order to achieve the effect of realistic characters, Cameron adopted a brand-new "performance capture technology". The actors wear special tight-fitting clothing and wear a camera device to continuously capture their facial expressions. The captured data will be transmitted to another system to produce real-time facial texture images of the actors, which will be processed into movies by computer. The animated version of "Avatar". Through this technology, Cameron can use a "virtual" camera to shoot live actors and treat them as real-time CG characters to ensure that the desired lens effect is obtained. The movie "Avatar" also uses another brand-new "motion capture technology-facial expression capture restoration (FPR)". Through this technique, Cameron can digitally process the actor's facial movements. Even if the lines change after Guan Jian's shooting, there is no need for the actors to put on tight-fitting clothes and head cameras to re-shoot. The changed lines can be perfectly integrated into the final shooting scene. [next]

Reshape reality

As for the creation of the virtual world of Pandora and the creation of CG characters, Adobe Photoshop® software is all used. Film art design Robert Stromberg, executive virtual art director Yuri Bartoli, art asset management manager Rey Perez, and their respective teams work closely with Cameron to design the characters in the film Roles and environment, compile a catalog, and answer questions such as "Should this character have a horn?", "Does he breathe through the stomata or nostrils?", "What sign does he have?"

"We used Photoshop Extended to draw conceptual images of different creatures and character models," Bartoli said. "This way, we can quickly process texture and detail layer processing. We can come up with many different designs, and then Submit it to Cameron immediately to quickly adjust the overall look and feel of the movie and increase the authenticity of the movie. "

In the production process of the movie "Avatar", not only many concept images were created through computer synthesis technology, but also live action pictures were generated by shooting with live actors. "Avatar" digital effects guide Nolan Mersa said, "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom® helps us integrate a large number of photos into a neat and orderly manageable project."

From creative proposal to post-production of visual effects

In the entire film production process, Adobe After Effects® software is the core of the entire production process. Initially, the production team introduced the concept of film art into After Effects, produced a creative proposal for the film, and finally sold the film to the 20th Century Fox Film Company.

"Some software can only help you get the job done, some software can make you do the job better. And Adobe's software package is the kind of software that can help us get the job done better."

After Effects also brings higher performance to "Simulcam" (collaborative camera). Simulcam is a technology pioneered by virtual product designer Glenn Deli, which can replace the green screen used in live-actor shooting with the CG background generated by Autodesk MotionBuilder 3D animation software. This allows Cameron to preview the final results using his own virtual production tools while shooting live, and the actors can also see how well their performance matches the virtual background, thereby enhancing the confidence of live actors during the performance. In addition, After Effects is also a powerful engine for post-production of visual effects. Accurately track the movements of live performances, insert the most appropriate CG elements, create well-made samples, and submit them to Optical Magic Corporation (ILM) and VETA Digital Corporation (WETA Digital) for final production.

After Effects' scripting function saves the production team a lot of time and helps the team overcome many technical difficulties. For example, the production team renders the JPEG format lens group in MotionBuilder, and then obtains the generated file through the facial performance capture (FPR) system, automatically converts it into an editable format, and then uses the After Effects script function to optimize and create the final 3D Imaging of the left and right eyes of a stereoscopic movie.

"Avatar" digital management technology development engineer Dan Efelt said, "The scripting function of Adobe After Effects has helped us save a considerable amount of time. Every time we render or produce a new version, we will save a lot of Time. ”Stephen Rolls, creative director of Pixel Liberation Front, one of the film ’s creative special effects companies, added,“ After Effects gives us more flexibility in the creation of swatches and motion graphics, which we finally submit to Victoria The image quality of Tower Digital and Optical Magic is particularly high.

Widely used in many fields

When all the lens groups are integrated, the editing team can view the shots one by one in the Adobe Premiere® Pro software and perform time-sharing processing at the same time. "With Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, we can import files from Avid into Adobe Premiere Pro without losing any information and metadata, which greatly reduces the burden on the editing team," Moses said. "Actually, we are almost Mellon edited in the same period, and he may not know that we have begun. "For multiple teams of artists in different fields, Adobe software can also help them maintain high consistency and high efficiency at all times. The art team and production team used Adobe InDesign® CS4 software to create easy-to-read forms for the entire production process of the movie. In addition, the team also used Adobe Acrobat® Connect® Pro software to hold web conferences, enabling efficient remote collaboration between the optical storm entertainment laboratory and the shooting site.

(Using Adobe AfterEffects, the production team can submit high-quality images and samples to production companies such as WETA Digital and ILM for final production.)

"The scripting feature of Adobe After Effects has helped us save considerable time. Every time we render or create a new version, we will save a lot of time."

——Dan Efelt, digital management technology development engineer of "Avatar"

"When we are shooting a certain lens and need a live artist to return to our production room immediately, thanks to Acrobat Connect Pro, through which the artist can shoot the lens with us at the shooting site without returning to the production room. Conduct one-by-one feedback and deal with it. We have achieved instant communication and writing between the shooting site and the studio. "Lando said," The biggest benefit of Adobe products is that they can provide you with the entire process from concept to production completion. Everything needed. "

Multi-directional breakthrough

Adobe Creative Suite and Adobe Flash® Platform software also play a big role in the market operation of the film. The posters and billboards of the film are created using Adobe Illustrator® CS4 software. At the same time, the Adobe AIR® application provides an interactive viewing experience for movie fans. The production team launched the official interactive trailer for "Avatar". The AIR application presents the Pandora natives in "Avatar" directly on the fans' desktop computers, and provides the "Avatar" trailer, a large number of video clips, and Twitter and YouTube. Social media communication. In addition, fans can also buy movie tickets directly through this platform.

Of course, although the technology used in the film is unforgettable, the most important thing is the amazing effect that finally shows. With Cameron's innate talents, the outstanding skills of many artists from different fields, and Adobe's advanced software and technology, such an "Avatar" really depicts the future direction of film production for us.
