there are absolutely no dark spots on the actor's face

Like a scene from Kubrik's 2001: A Space Odyssey, the room is uniformly lit in a bright, sterile white light, to ensure that there are absolutely no dark spots on the actor's face. Having a well lit subject is essential to the technology working.The 32 Machine Vision cameras are very precisely positioned in pairs around the chair, like numbers replica Vacheron Constantin Chronograph Men's 49150.0 around a roulette wheel. Even the slightest bump of the rig could offset the alignment, and fixing it can take up to four hours for each pair. The setup – which was moved from Sydney to LA over the Christmas holiday period last year – took Head of Research and Development at Depth Analysis Oliver Bao over ten 16-20 hour days to install the 1000-plus pieces in the rig.

Each $6,000 camera is capable of sending 1080p video at 30 frames per second directly to the server room simultaneously, which can then be turned into a status scan in as little as 15 minutes. Bao tells us they're the same cameras NASA uses during space shuttle launches to give them a few seconds of footage before melting away.Each camera is fixed focused on the actor, who has to sit extremely still and act with their face – there's replica Vacheron Constantin 49150.B01A.9095 Men's Watch only about 50cm worth of leeway for head movement during the acting process – which makes it a tough proposition for the actors involved. One of the main reasons the studio was moved from Sydney to LA was because many of the Australian actors being used in the early days struggled to manage the US accent while sitting extremely still.

While on the chair, the actors have to wear an orange shirt with three green balls attached, which act as reference points for the development team back in Sydney when they add the Depth Analysis footage to the motion captured acting done at a separate facility.”It's very streamlined. We get geometry, colour, plus body orientation and voice, and it's all recorded in one go. [The dots] are to track where your vertebrae is, so you know where the replica Vacheron Constantin 49150.B01A.9097 Men's Watch neck join is in animation, we use those three points to deduct it, And once it's found, we just plunk the head onto an animation like a Lego head” explains Bao.In addition to the 32 camera setup, there's a 33rd camera that connects directly to an adjacent room for the director to watch the performance in real time and a screen which can display the script for the actor, play back footage or allow the actor to see the director in the next room.
