Filmmakers use Visual Effects to create the illusion of achieving things that, to do for real, would either be too dangerous, too expensive, too complicated, or just plain impossible.
Whether it's to give someone superpowers, make them fly through the air, or fall from a massive height, make them look like they're interacting with a Computer generated beast, or actually becoming one themselves.
The hardest part for the VFX team is finding the best method, or inventing the right technique to obtain the best result possible.
The hardest part for the actors is trying to remain in character and give a convincing performance whilst looking like, well, like a bit of a twit.
For Alice in Wonderland, the visual effects teams made. Matt Lucas perform as Tweedledee and Tweedledum dressed in a fat green costume on stilts, they made Johnny Depp talk to a green stick, Mia Wasikowska fight against, well, absolutely nothing and Crispin Glover ride this odd-looking contraption.
Interestingly enough, for this shot, they only used Crispen's head, everything else was CGI, which begs the question,
Why bother with the whole contraption in the first place? and,
Is everything the VFX teams do, really necessary? or are they just having a bit of fun making the actors look stupid?

"Was it really necessary to wear the helmet?" Yes. It's necessary so the actor knows where his/her eyes are supposed to be focusing; it's important so the VFX editors can render scale consistently without making size variations in different shots.

The thing with Benedict Cumberbatch as Smaug was that he did the full body motion capture as least partially for his method acting. It helped him get into character and figure out how to sound, use the right tone of voice, behave, etc.

@freddelarsson4434 Рік тому

Was about to add that aswell. One could imagine that it's easier to get into character or deliver better voice acting when actually acting like you're a Dragon. The other alternative would be the standard way; standing infront of a screen seeing the scene and doing the voice acting synced to the viewed scene.

@geroutathat Рік тому

They should have just got a voice actor if he needs to do all that to provide a voice. I get it, they want someone famous to do the voice so went with a non voice actor, but its silly. Imagine every voice actor doing such silly things.

@sigma-erebus Рік тому

Well, I think for this one it's also quite incorrect. for smaug, yes there were quite some movements that were thrown away. But I believe a large part of the motion capture was still translated to the way the dragon moved. Same can be seen with Gollum. Andy Serkis is not visible in the final CGI version, but his movements and way of moving the character will still be reflective of the mocap session done for the character

What's helpful to understand with CGI and motion-capture is that it's not exactly or not always puppeteering a digital model, but gathering reference footage from which the animation team can work. So while they may not use all the shots of seemingly silly footage of people in greenscreen costumes, the way the actors move will make the end result much more convincing because it comes from a performance. That isn't to say that animators can't put character into their animations, but, from what I've seen, their jobs seem to be much easier when they get a great performance out of the actors.

@jacksonkerr2095 Рік тому

As stated in the end. It is better for the VFX artists to have too much material to work with, rather than too little. But likewise can dressing up the people that play the fully VFX characters be important, since it can help the actors keep track of who is what. And where things supposedly are. As can be seen in Marval's behind the scenes, they often have a cardboard cut out of the character's head rigged up on a pole from the actor's back. So that the other actors knows where head height is going to be. So that the VFX team doesn't also have to correct their gaze in post.

a lot of it boils down to exactly whats on the tin-- the actors are Acting...whether that means hugging a giant plush cushion (which will be CG'ed into a pig-puppy thing) or wearing a super-inflated suit (to be CG'ed into Beauty's Beast), it gives the actors more material to Act with...before "Fellowship of the Ring" filmed and edited the Balrog Bridge scene, no one even knew what a Balrog was supposed to look like; they just figured "it HAS to be at least This Tall, right?" and stuck a tennis ball onto the end of a long pole...Ian McKellen was tempted to shout "YOU SHALL NOT...BOUNCE!" to the ball, but in the end, Gandalf was 'looking at' the Balrog, making direct eye contact... ...years later, for filming part of The Hobbit, Gandalf's height-difference over the Hobbits was accomplished by filming separate shots-- one of a "full-sized" scene complete with props (all made bigger to make the actors look smaller), and one of Ian McKellen alone on a stage of green boxes of various heights...it was such a heartbreaking method to superimpose the two shots together, making Ian exclaim "this isnt why i became an actor!" before finishing the scene...

That was the first thing that I thought of when watching this clip. I remember Andy Serkis telling Benedict Cumberbatch to not think of it like you’re just doing a voice.

It's not about having reference as much as having 2 options. Directors want to stay with live action as much as possible to avoid an overly digital look. But that method often doesn't work and they have to replace it with full digital imagery. If it was all about reference they wouldn't be putting everything in green screen, which is the last thing you'd want for reference. They're shooting live action with those mattes (at great expense) hoping it might make the final shot, but they can't know for sure.

I am a theater person and we always try a lot stuffs to make each scenes look the best in the way we want. For some complicated scenes it simply takes a lot of effort, like trying different costumes, props, and settings and this is super time & energy consuming. Those complicated CGI movies must have to try a lot more things to make the outcomes more appealings, thats what I thought. So maybe we see here a bunch of clips that didn't show in real movies, but I think the production did't know that when they planed them. A thousand of modifications must be made afterwords and it really doen‘t do the justice to the crew when you ask if it was necessary over and over again.

But as many have already pointed out in comments prior to mine, (smart viewers)it is not entirely for the reasons given in the video. As an actor, a lot of the puppetry and supporting cast behind the scenes is extremely helpful for perception, direction, visual cues, and plain ole inspiration for character creation. An actor can give dialog in a solo scene when not expected to interact with other things that do not exist or supposed to exist with a varied degree of success.(depending on their skill set) But ever sense make believe characters were put on screen to interact with real life people, those tricks have been extremely important for the actors performance. Actors rely on interaction to give the range of emotional performance to make the scene as dramatic as asked for. The better question would be, are the actors that do this stuff, really having a good time with it? Or is it so little fun compared to playing off another real live actor that they just assume not? 🤔

Something else to consider is that having something solid helps the actor do their best performance. It's difficult to act against nothing, with not even a real idea of what the thing that you're going to be looking at is shaped like. And it's not just the stuff that "being a better actor" can get you over-- you need to know where your eyes are supposed to focus. And actors aren't trained mimes, it's hard to act like there's something there with total consistency without a decent reference.

Well after seeing this it makes me feel better watching all the CGI movies, because I see the actors really had to act, and it must be hard to act like that.

Some of these props are also for lighting references for the cgi

I did a shot of the interior of a car that was hit by another car. The VFX supervisor created and rigged up a huge 360º gimble and green screen and then spun the actor and the car around with the camera inside. This took weeks to set up and shoot. In the end all it was is the actor throwing himself around inside the car and a bunch of streaky buildings going by. The gimble and 360º green screen were a complete waste of time and money! All they had to do is paint the outside of the car's windows green and have the actor throw himself around inside the car - done! Oh yeah, btw the 360º green screen was a complete waste of time because the lighting changed constantly as the car rotated so in the end it was simple roto that was used.

As i heard its mostly for light reflections, thats still the most hard thing to render.

It's a great collection of the on-set shots, thanks for that. \but I strongly disagree that the actor's performance as a CGI character is useless. Actually the opposite - they reference how the character should move and which emotions to convey, otherwise the director would have to do the same job in post, telling VFX-artists how to play the character.
