The proliferation of
computer graphic software has made it possible for a lot of mind-blowing movies
to be created. Take for instance, the effects created in the latest Tom
Cruise’s movie, Oblivion. This is one of
the movies that have taken CGI to another level with the use of cameras. We are aware that most of the imaginary or
fantastical make believe worlds are created in post production, which means
that the science/fiction interfaces are added after filming in a lot of movies.
Even though the
computer graphics makes it possible for scenes that may be impossible to shoot,
there is another method of doing. This is what Oblivion has helped us
understand better with the effects created by its director Joseph Kolinsky. The
effects that were created in the movie were not exclusively in the Sony F65;
however they help in adding to the visual integrity to Oblivion aesthetic.
The elimination of blue screens gave the
movie an amazing appearance. The use of clouds in the building of some scenes
was done with the latest technology. The use of blue screens had a lot to do
with the production of the design set yet, every glass was taken out and matte
surfaces were used. The use of glass things could get things shiny which was
eliminated though, it was an expensive production but it was worth it.
The
shooting was done in 4K and the DI was created in 2K and it was captured in
Sony’s 4K RAW format. This was done to
give a lot of stabilization and for the final render; speed was the reason for
it. The movie made use of a 500 foot wide and 42 foot high screen with 21 projectors.
This gave the movie a factual time 15K motion picture front projection. The
landscape of Iceland made the shooting of the movie more interesting. This is
because the computer generated game grid was not really applied because the
landscape was perfect for CGI generation. Iceland suited the abandoned Earth
that was needed in the movie, no little black sands, no trees and mosses seen
clinging to the surfaces and little sun.
With
the support of Claudio, the Director of Photography, who won an Oscar for Life
of Pi, the shooting was done effortlessly with complex render farm technology. As one of the leading online render farms, Fox
renderfarm is greatly supportive in the sci-fi movies production with many
softwares related to rendering farm technology, and it is also
a remote render service provider as well, that is to say, you can know the
process of rendering what you want to as long as you are on internet. if you
have any questions, pls do not hesitate to contact us.
This movie has really
surpassed its expectation after release.
It has become one of the movies to look at when another CGI complex
movie is ever thought about.
