Avatar sequels (deel 2 en 3)

[blue-eyes]

Naast The Hobbit kijk ik vooral uit naar deel 2 en 3 van de Avatar. Dit duurt nog zeker tot 2014, maar alvast een topic geopend.

James Cameron wil nieuwe technologie voor Avatar 2 en 3

Onlangs hoorden we dat James Cameron sneller dan verwacht zal gaan werken aan de twee Avatar sequels. Voordat we iets van die films zullen zien gaat de regisseur zich richten op twee compleet nieuwe technologische vooruitgangen. Hieronder zie je wat hij te zeggen heeft over deze nieuwe ontwikkelingen.

Well we are going to see the oceans of Pandora and the lifeforms and ecosystems there, so we've got to do more with CG water, both underwater with the caustics, the lighting, the optics of bringing light through water and with the surface of water, which is one of the big challenges in CG. But that's all doable, those are just plug ins, that's all an iterative process. The only sweeping change between now and when we release the second Avatar film is I want to natively author the film at a higher frame rate and project it at a higher frame rate. I want to get rid of the motion artifacting associated with 24 frame display. Because movies are way behind, they're a century out of date.

48, 60, 72, we're looking at the efficacy of the different ones and different solutions. The projectors can do it right now, the projectors can run at 144hrz but they're still displaying 24 frames content at 144hrz. The trick is how do you display 48 or 60 frame content, multiflashing it, the way 3D projectors do. So that's one little bump I'm working on.

Then there's some software development that we're doing to make the process, our real time virtual production process more intuitive, faster, more real looking, more like the finished product. Right now we work at a proxy resolution. We create a 1980s video game looking end product, we give it to the visual effects company and they start over mapping all new high resolution assets to those low res assets. They start all over and do it all again and come out with a photo real end product. What we want to do is eliminate that middle step and start to close the gap between what our real time looks like and what the finished photo real looks like. Eventually, 15 years from now, we should be working real time in at a photo real image, almost like you do with photography. So it's getting to the point where it's indistinguishable from photography at the moment your doing it as opposed to waiting six months or a year.

Cameron heeft nog wel wat jaartjes de tijd, aangezien Avatar 2 gepland staat voor 2014. Je kunt de video van zijn praatje hier bekijken
