Technology

 The following were involved in providing technological assistance for the production of the movie:


Unlike in the past, we can watch more real and cool movies using more advanced technologies. Among those things, I would like to talk about the technology and art used in a movie called "Avengers: Endgame", which I have enjoyed so much before. From the moment the movie begins, through unrealistic backgrounds, costumes and etc., we can feel that the film has so many technologies inside. First, computer graphics(CG) are used. It means computer-generated video processing, and is so widely used that it is hard to find a movie that does not contain it. As you can see in the picture below, in the case of characters appearing in CGs, they played in special costumes with sensors attached to their entire body, including their own faces. Also, they used the green screen to manipulate the matching background of each scene through a computer. The next one is V-Ray. It is a rendering software used as a major 3D integrated software plug-in. V-Ray adds specific elements to the background of nothing, and improves the character's realism. It is sometimes used in situations that require very subtle control, such as the character's facial muscles. V-Ray is the biggest factor needed to make the scene richer and more realistic.




Weta Digital:
Weta Digital is a digital visual effects company based in Wellington, New Zealand. It was founded by Peter Jackson, Richard Taylor, and Jamie Selkirk in 1993.
To date, Weta Digital has won five Academy Awards for Best Visual Effects.

Weta Digital has developed several proprietary software packages to achieve groundbreaking visual effects.

Legend3D:
Founded in 2001, Legend3D, Inc. is an innovative virtual reality, 3D visual effects and conversion company committed to advancing the 3D medium globally. Legend’s technology enables the conversion of new and historically produced 2D movies, TV shows, advertisements and other video entertainment assets into 3D.

Double Negative:
Double Negative is a British full-service visual effects/computer animation company located in Fitzrovia, London. The company was set up in 1998 with a team of 30 staff and has since grown to over 1,000 staff, making it Europe's largest provider of visual effects for film. CGI, which is most commonly used to refer to 3D computer graphics, is the use of computer graphics to either create or to contribute to images in the art (Aguilera, Gerardo, and Johansson). This technology is often used in the film industry and was used for the creation of various characters and scenes in Avengers: Endgame.



Recruit for the visual effects work were Double Negative, Weta Digital, MPC, The Embassy Visual Effects, Lola VFX, Skulley Effects, Exceptional Minds, Magnopus and previz by Halon. "Fortunately I'd had the good luck to work with most of the facilities before and I was able to cast the companies and supervisors in the roles for which I felt they were best suited,” states Charles Gibson. "I generally try to avoid too much sharing of shots and assets, mostly for scheduling reasons, but we did share some hard models and a number of plates where it made sense.”

CHAP5. TECHNOLOGY AND ART IN AVENGERS: ENDGAME

Unlike in the past, we can watch more real and cool movies using more advanced technologies. Among those things, I would like to talk about the technology and art used in a movie called "Avengers: Endgame", which I have enjoyed so much before. From the moment the movie begins, through unrealistic backgrounds, costumes and etc., we can feel that the film has so many technologys inside. First, computer graphics(CG) are used. It means computer-generated video processing, and is so widely used that it is hard to find a movie that does not contain it. As you can see in the picture below, in the case of characters appearing in CGs, they played in special costumes with sensors attached to their entire body, including their own faces. Also, they used the green screen to manipulate the matching background of each scene through a computer.
The next one is V-Ray. It is a rendering software used as a major 3D integrated software plug-in. V-Ray adds specific elements to the background of nothing, and improves the character's realism. It is sometimes used in situations that require very subtle control, such as the character's facial muscles. V-Ray is the biggest factor needed to make the scene richer and more realistic.
The third is sound. A movie without any music, sound effects, or lines cannot convey any kind of massages to viewers. Without sound, it is difficult to figure out what the scene is intended for, and it will soon become boring in less than five minutes. However when sounds are used, those who watch movies can feel the same as intended. Sound is an important medium to help us understand the scene in depth. and also an integral part of a good movie. The last is the brightness of light. Even though the actual filming background is bright, the corresponding scene in the movie can be dark. Adjusting the brightness of the scene to the intention of the person who produces it using computer technology is a very good way to express the atmosphere of the story.
We live in a society that is rapidly developing. As technology improves the quality of life, the way we enjoy leisure also varies, leading to other changes and developments. Movies are one of the easiest to access around us, and they really contain a lot of technologies. If you have finished reading my article, I hope you'll find out what technology and art are combined in the great movies you'll see in the future.

  Since the film was shot on a wind up Bolex, sound couldn't be recorded on set. All the dialogue was then dubbed in post. Director Mark Jenkin processed the 130 rolls of Kodak 16mm B&W film 16mm film himself in his studio. Much of the film was shot in the Admiral Benbow, Penzance. This pub, opened in 1959, houses thousands of artefacts salvaged from ships wrecked of the Cornish coast and the Isles of Sicily. Printed Film Format  is D cinema.  "The wind on my Bolex allows for 27 seconds of shooting time, so no single take is ever longer than that," he says. "Although in practice we actually  lit pretty much everything - the exterior and interiors scenes  with LEDs to subtly lift the look as appropriate, I wanted the result to look as natural as possible." Once the film development was concluded, the rolls were shipped to  Kodak Film Lab, at Pinewood Studios, for a 2K  DPX scan and a one -light technical-grade. The entire footage was then returned...
