an ultra-high-definition motion capture shooting is in progress. Two actors in motion capture suits make martial arts actions, and the real-time images transmitted to the screen show the animated character Monkey King and the monsters engaged in a wonderful fight. From the action to the actor's expression, real-time capture is achieved. Dense tracking points can show actors more realistic motion pictures.
If the crew needs to shoot the scene of Monkey King fighting in the sandstorm at this time, then the LED virtual background technology can immediately realize the desert "real scene" shooting for the crew, making the actors feel like they are in the danger of the sandstorm.

What is motion capture technology? "Motion capture technology is a technology for restoring the human body's posture through high-tech means. As the most popular technical means for fantasy movies today, motion capture technology can capture the actions and expressions of actors during performances, and then synchronize them to virtual characters designed by computers. , Making them infinitely close to the status of real actors. Many well-known excellent domestic and foreign film and television works such as "Avatar", "The Mandalorian", "Crazy Alien", etc. all use motion capture technology. "Beijing Virtual Moving Point Jia Zhe, CEO of Technology Co., Ltd. introduced in an interview with reporters.
Jia Zhe described motion capture technology as a visual feast for humans, allowing the audience to see the characters in the movie more realistically to achieve more perfect actions. "For example, the people on the planet "Avatar" are our imagination. It came out, its actual model is very different from our human beings. How to drive it? At this time, we need to use our motion capture technology, let a real person perform it first, and bind the collected data to the avatar. If you decide, then you can make Avatar'live' like a real person. That's why we can empathize with the film and television works we see in the later stage, and can really feel what Avatar does and what he says." In addition, through the capture of the actors' movements, the filming is finished. That is, it can be used as a reference for post-production, greatly saving film production costs and shortening the production cycle. "After the project is launched, it will cover many businesses such as film and television, VR virtual shooting." Jia Zhe said that the cooperation between the two parties will jointly promote the rapid development of digital filming and virtual reality applications in Xiangshan Film and Television City under the background of the 5G era.
Shanghai Kunlun Jue Digital Technology Co., Ltd. director Zhang Diankui believes that film has gone through the film era and is currently in the digital era, and the future must belong to the "virtual production era."
"Virtual production technology is applied to movies. Let me give you an example. For example, the crew is shooting in Tianyi Square. The traditional approach is to close the road first and then set up the scene. But with virtual production technology, you can take all of Tianyi Square. The scene is digitized, and the virtual background of the LED screen is directly adopted to achieve the effect of'real scene shooting', which can make the actors feel like they are on the scene and have moreAdd real performance mood, and also save a lot of post-production costs.

In addition, LED virtual scenes can also switch scenes freely, regardless of day and night, the crew shooting is not affected at all. Zhang Diankui believes that with the simultaneous advancement of the entire film industry chain, virtual production technology including LED display technology The in-depth integration of the film industry provides a hotbed. In the near future, the application of virtual production technology in the film industry is bound to be very common.
Party Secretary and Director of the Management Committee of Ningbo Film and Television Cultural Industry Zone Chen Jianyu said in an interview with reporters In the new era of 5G, Xiangshan Film and Television City will actively embrace technology and empower the film and television industry. "The application of 5G will bring about revolutionary changes in transmission and promote the development of the film and television industry. It is necessary to achieve curve overtaking.
