Break the unseen VFX explosion of 1917, Joker, Parasite and more

There are 1,048 animated effects on the Oscar nominated drama Ford v Ferrari. You weren't supposed to see them.

James Mangold's dramatization is rarely made their mark in the same way as a computer-generated Thanos, explosive atmosphere, or a bunch of superheroes from portals. However Ford v FerrariThe visual effects are just as important in storytelling as in the rest of the Marvel movie, and without them, the film may have had unlimited restrooms (and in some cases no races at all).

Ford v Ferrari and is one of the many films from 2019 with plenty of unseen effects. This includes similar movies 1917, The lungs, Joker, John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, again The knives. Of course, you may not realize that there are side effects here.

The postwar France: an invisible result

1917, Best Picture and visual effects Oscar nominee who recently won the BAFTA Award for VFX, using a slice of invisible moments to put together a take to make the film appear to be shot at the same time.

It can be hard to see where those stitches are – at that point – but if you look closely, you can see them when a character walks behind a tree or door, or jumps a bridge. MPC, a studio for visual effects in the background 1917, it even had to make changes when the video player's face was completely visible on the frame.

1917 and contains some "classic" VFX shooting rifles, such as a plane crash – which includes many different things, including a part of a blue screen's broken body – and the moment Schofield found himself in a raging river, in fact former actor George MacKay reviewed a previous computer study – Olympic rafting, transformed into a river ecosystem.

The visual effects allowed director Sam Mendes to release his "one-off" movie without restrictions; any modern art, organization members, or camera gear left in the frame can simply be painted after the fact. The same freedom in art was given to Martin Scorsese in it An Irishman, where the cast of actors of the age are drawn without facial features, making the CG process "invisible" to legends such as Robert De Niro and Al Pacino.

Most films involving CG players or aging VFX require players to make a helmet-mounted camera helmet or some type of dot painted on their faces. These factors may be important for data retrieval, but can also affect the performance of the player. The method used An Irishman, developed by Industrial Light & Magic, instead shot each incident with three different cameras – Figx called Flux – that produced the performance of the actors and translated them into smaller versions made by computer players. The idea was to keep the performance as real as possible.

It's real, but it's a lie

The hope of the visual effects is to convince the audience that the camera crew can come out and record the said image. Crews tend to do that, but budget restrictions, safety reasons, or time travel often limit the logical path. For example, Ford v Ferrari it is set in the 1960s, but most racehouses are no longer today as they were then. Restoring history meant shooting in areas that could be altered by visual effects. Le Mans is manufactured locally in Georgia and Southern California, including the Agua Dulce Airpark in Santa Clarita. The VFX teams added some very happy crowds to the stadiums, and were assisted in the running of the CG race cars and the collisions that took place.

Subtle effects are not always so high. Bong Joon-ho & # 39; s The lungs, few filmmakers will consider the show's visual effects, including dozens of improvised shots. They are used to expand city scenes, including the rainy weather. The sequence was filtered through the blue screen in a somewhat unpredictable set, as well as the blue parts used to fill the background with buildings and other details, giving Bong an amount of control over the shot selection and character blocking. VFX also added a layer above the "rich" house to the exterior masks, which were actually fitted with a screen holder in the second floor.

Todd Phillips & # 39; Joker is chewed by the way VFX's mainstream superhero films are based on the most established story, but its Best Picture opponent still contains hundreds of effects shots. Most of them were hired to set up the fictional Gotham City in the 1980s; Artisans painted on the streets of the city in the opening scenes, during the shooting, and in the skyscrapers. Some of the most gory moments in the film are also digital, rather than real, blood, like when Arthur kills other people in his apartment. CG blood avoids too many reset times during scanning, and allows for a consistent appearance in the final "digital" setting. The same is true of the tactics used in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, especially the scene where characters fight between glass-filled glass cases. The glass wasn't really there – Way Studios was faking it all electronically.
