見識「動態捕捉」的魔力The Magic of Performance Capture

你一定不會相信自己的眼睛You won’t believe your eyes

過去二十年來，電影製作團隊將動態捕捉這種結合動畫與真人表演的數位混合手法推上新高度。

以下是一些極為出色的動態捕捉代表作品：《魔戒二部曲:雙城奇謀》&《魔戒三部曲:王者再臨》咕噜/史麥戈這兩個不同人格卻同屬一個驅殼的角色，在安迪·瑟克斯開創性的演出下，成功為後續所有動態捕捉表演立下典範。

《阿凡達》

《阿凡達》片中多位演員在大銀幕上都以兩種樣貌現身；一種是真人樣貌，另一種是數位呈現的納美外星人，從而引發觀眾對兩者進行直接比較。

《阿凡達》的製作過程還運用了《魔戒》拍攝期間尚未出現的諸多嶄新科技。

《猩球崛起》及其重啟系列

《猩球崛起》將動態捕捉直接搬到戶外實景當中。

片中的表演極為引人入勝，因此導演和一些影評都認為，安迪，瑟克斯以「近乎莎翁式」的證釋手法飾演猩猩凱撒，其精湛演出理應獲得奧斯卡的肯定。

《森林之子毛克利》

在改編魯德亞德，吉卜林經典故事書《叢林奇談》的電影中，所有動物角色都與飾演牠們的知名演員有著驚人的相似性；這有種說不出來的奇異感受，仿佛那些演員真的就是動物!

Over the last 20 years, filmmakers have pushed performance capture's digital blend of animation and acting to new heights. Check out the following exceptional mocap performances:

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) and Return of the King (2003)

 Andy Serkis' groundbreaking performance of Gollum/Sméagol – two personalities occupying a single character - set the standard for all subsequent mocap performances.

Avatar (2009)

Many of Avatar's actors appear on screen both as live-action humans and as digital Na'vi aliens, inviting direct comparison. Avatar's production also took advantage of multiple technological improvements that weren't available during the filming of The Lord of the Rings.

The Planet of the Apes and its reboot collection (2011-2017)

The Planet of the Apes moved mocap into outdoor live-action locations. The performances were so compelling that the director and some film critics felt Andy

Serkis deserved an Oscar for his "near- Shakespearean" portrayal of the ape Caesar.

Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle (2018)

In this portrayal of The Jungle Book, Rudyard Kipling's classic story, the animal characters all bear an amazing resemblance to the famous actors who play them. It's uncanny. It's as if the actors were actually animals!

It has the idea of taking things to the next level, something that is harder or more impressive, more difficult.

Gollum

Smeagol

Spilt personality人格分裂

But if someone has a split personality, that means, like it says here, two personalities are occupying the same character or person.

And if you've seen this movie, maybe you remember how Gollum sometimes has a very sweet voice, and he talks very kindly.

And sometimes when he wants that ring, he gets very angry and almost mischievous and a little bit scary, too.

Schizophrenia 精神分裂

You are really improving. Your math is exceptional.

reboot vs. remake

A reboot is a little more flexible than a remake.

You're still, you know, thinking about the original story, but maybe you're changing a lot of details.

Maybe only the character or the title remains the same in a reboot.

However, a remake would be... it's a new movie that is based on an older movie, and they try to stay true to the source material or as close as possible.

It's just doing it with new technology.

So could we say that a reboot sometimes continues the story or maybe builds upon the story that has already been there by a previous movie?

It could build upon the story.
