The result is a mirror reflection out of sync and speed, in relation to main camera and scene.
FXPHD DESIGN FOR MOTION SOFTWARE
The reflection plane is always perfectly aligned, thanks to the physics calculations and software created by Stiller Studios team. Time Displacement technology makes the reflection on the virtual mirror run at a different speed and/or synchronisation point in relation to what the actual hero camera is seeing. The visual effects director at Stiller Studios, and co-producer, Tomas Wall, pushed this technology even further by adding an extra element to the mirror effect, the time delay or “time displacement” factor. All without filming any actual mirrored surfaces. ” I questioned everything,” says Perez, “to try to understand why they were so special about motion control, and the more I learned the more I wanted to know.” It was this relationship that lead to the team at Stiller to reach out to Victor with new techniques they had developed.īy synchronising the two motion control rigs, the team lead by Tomas Tjernberg, created a formula to make a reflection effect be recorded simultaneously by both cameras. He was able to use the days on-set filming for the fxphd course to ask as many questions as possible and learn as much as he could about Stiller Studios’ technology. “I had seen a few of their works but I’d never had the chance to work with them (and their expensive toys) and being able to create a course being assisted by the guys at Stiller themselves was the best experience.” “Without that course, ECHO never would have existed,” says Perez. Perez was actually introduced to Stiller Studios through his work at while developing his popular Nuke, Motion Control & Deep Compositing course in late 2015 (find out more about Victor’s six courses at ). The motion control team that run the technology research at Stiller Studios worked for months to develop a new approach and setup the studio hardware to make it possible to film an effect never seen before on the screen. ECHO is an innovative film in terms of storytelling language, and it was shot with extensive Motion Control at Stiller Studios in Stockholm (Sweden) on their two motion control rigs, a Mark Robert’s Cyclops and a Bolt.
