Oliver Phelps first British actor to use VFX MOVA technology
 
Via his Twitter account Oliver Phelps has revealed that he has become the first British actor to receive a VFX MOVA facial capture scan, while working on Deathly Hallows.

Quote:
Right then MOVA is a system where by using 29 cameras and UV makeup and lighting can get very detailed motions of ones face.
A press release from 2006 reveals more about this film-making process;

Quote:
Contour employs two separate-yet-synchronized camera systems to simultaneously record visual and geometric information of the subject. These two sets of data are combined to result in a high-resolution 3-D digital image. With this innovative, markerless, optics-based process, every subtle detail of a human performance—from an arching eyebrow to widening eyes to a sly smile—is recorded in real time, offering directors and producers a level of creative control that has never existed before. In essence, Contour ties together the traditional world of cinematography with digital computer animation, expanding the possibilities for both motion picture and video game makers.
Quote:
Contour’s high-definition, 3-D, volumetric representation of the action can be imported, modified, manipulated or retargeted to other characters using off-the-shelf CGI animation software. Contour can quickly and easily import true human behavior in all its distinct complexity into the virtual realm and works well with both marker-based motion capture and key frame animation systems.
Quote:
Traditional marker-based motion capture is used to create incredibly realistic performances for skeletal captures, but was never designed to capture the intricacies of soft tissue motion, like pursing lips or billowing fabric. Contour captures the motion of any 3-D surface, deformable or not, with sub-millimeter precision at up to 120 frames second, at a resolution of over 100,000 polygons per frame. The result is a totally real, digitized performance that requires minimal manual clean up.
Previous movies that have used such equipment include; The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Eragon and Hulk.

I don't know about Eragon, it's just what the internets told me. I've never seen it, though I have the books.

BeckiiM 08-27-2009 04:08 PM
Oh wow, that's cool! I hope his ear isn't too disgusting, I always thought it was funny in the books but now i think about it.. ew!

Weaslebee 08-27-2009 04:13 PM

crazedHPfan 08-27-2009 04:48 PM
yes, it must be the ear. I wonder if they will also use it on different actors in the film, for different purposes... that would be cool.

vijaya 08-27-2009 04:53 PM
i think its great!

princess of*hp* 08-27-2009 05:06 PM

Must be or his ear,I would think.There are no other major things for the twins in DH is there?

hermionesclone 08-27-2009 05:10 PM
Wow! That's so cool! It's for his ear, right? Wow! Hope it doesn't look too gruesome!

^MeredithRodneyMcKay: There isn't a lot of major scenes with the twins in DH apart from the "Seven Potters", "Potterwatch (i hope they have that) and the Battle of Hogwarts, i think.

kshea6 08-27-2009 05:28 PM
awesome!

hermia123 08-27-2009 05:54 PM
I thought that right away it had to be for his ear. I don't know- maybe something else.

Abbie Lynne 08-27-2009 06:27 PM
That is going to be really really cool! :woot: YIPPIE for technology! :woot:

Cristefens 08-27-2009 06:33 PM

laura-tonks 08-27-2009 06:40 PM
Interesting! I reckon it must be for the missing ear as well :D

SilveR* 08-27-2009 07:15 PM
he answered to someone on twitter that it was not for his ear.
question was "for the ear right?! Oh yeah I'm good! =]" and his answer "actually no. :-p".
truth or a joke, we'll see ;)

Hmmm you're right.But would any of them require just Oliver to be using this stuff? That is the question. :)

*ponders*

WeasleyTwin 08-27-2009 08:19 PM
Apparently its not for his ear, he replied to a tweet of a follower and said "actually no".

Maybe its for the epilogue? What else could it be

Sav!!XD 08-27-2009 08:58 PM

We don't know that he's the only one. Just that he was the first.

It records intricacies in facial expressions and movements.

Brilliant!

Moon Eyes 08-30-2009 07:17 AM
Assuming it's the ear, I really hope it's not too gross. I just kind of imagined it as a dark gaping hole type thing...

hermione_138 08-30-2009 10:34 AM
this is so cool and very interesting!!!

PurpleVAL 08-31-2009 06:11 AM
Sounds great!

Silver Doe... 08-31-2009 10:33 AM
Must be for his ear...I'm thinking when it actually comes off? Because the hole could be achieved much more easily...
