A movie that clearly shows how modern Hollywood movies receive the benefits of VFX

As a component of a movie together with stories, music, cast etc.VFX (visual effect)there is. We can synthesize and process photographed images on computer and express the situation which is impossible actually in the screen. In the past movies, there was no big difference between the images shot at the studio and the movies shown at the cinema, but with the progress of computer technology, now most of the screen can be synthesized and processed by VFX . If you look at the movie below, you can see how recent VFX processing has been applied to recent Hollywood movies.

The sea and the sky are, of course, synthetic.


Tigers are also synthesized. In actual studio this is like this.


The scene wearing a big wave in a fierce storm was taken in a pure blue studio made up of a blue screen for composition.


Bengal tigers to be synthesized are not genuine tigers, of course, all made with CG.


Richard Parker sleeps with a pie knee pillow. Breathing and gestures are as if they are genuine tigers ... ...


Of course this is also a synthesized CG. In shooting in the studio, I used a blue stuffed toy instead of a real tiger.

Actually, in the studio shooting, the background is all green.


In the scene where Saw fights with Hulk on a ride ......


The ride is a simple stage, the background of the studio is also blue, it looks like a manteman just hanging on the stage with a hammer


Published in 2013 "Wolf of Wall Street"It is a movie modeled on a real stock broker, and since laser beams and heroes do not come out, it seems that VFX does not have a turn, but this work also carries out synthesis and processing abundantly.


This is one scene at the location shoot, but there are times when the time setting in the work and season and reality are different, and it is being processed to a large extent.


It draws buildings in the landscape from the branch and the sky reflected in the foreground, the park from the park, and is painted repeatedly even to the lawn.

Published in 2013Zero · Gravity"The astronaut reveals "It is the movie that reproduced the space faithfully"Although it is a work which was acknowledged that the scene of outer space is wonderful, it is synthesized everything up to the space, space station and space suit.


The shooting scenery in actual studio is like this. Earth and equipment appearing in the background are displayed on the monitor panel installed behind. Space suit is also completely different from the real one.


Space suit, arms, and solar panels are made of CG, and they are superimposed on the images taken at the studio in the past.


Sandra · block playing astronaut. It is a scene of outboard work in outer space, but it is shooting in a pure white studio.

First of all, create a sky cloud and the other shore in CG as a background.


It synthesizes the ocean and plays warships floating in the sea.


Draw a Godzilla wireframe from above and paste the texture of the epidermis.


And add a splash of water ...


We will synthesize images of bridges and US military soldiers shot at Greenback studio.


Transparent background of the background, filtering from above or adjusting the color tone is completed. Most of the screens on this screen are created by computers.


Published in 2015 "Jurassic World"Is a panic movie based on dinosaurs, but dinosaurs are all CG because they do not survive in modern times.


Since the set shooting in the studio, the background is not a synthesis, in actual shooting the human beings wearing a dinosaur hat performed rough movements of the dinosaurs, and the VFX processing was done in the form of superimposing dinosaur CG there .


In addition to increasing the number of dinosaurs, VFX is also used to make the studio set more realistic. As an example the following image is a picture of a forest set taken in the studio.


We will grow a lot of grass on this image with CG.


I put a texture on the grass, and further adjusted the color of the light and the brightness of the screen, the jungle which grew steadily became possible.
