Check out this french music video "BOGGIE: NOUVEAU PARFUM" over on Vimeo. Crazy. (It's all VFX of course done in post but shows a potentially frightening future as technology moves on.) http://vimeo.com/81795730
Not to be difficult but what's the big deal? Is that even legitimate editing software or just mocked up for the purpose of that video? And even if it was a genuine program, there's no way it was done in 'real time'.
There's no big deal with the video itself, it just gives a stark look at what the future may well hold for the media (and to a lesser extent the entertainment industry) and creates I think an interesting talking point. To think that in future not only will the likes of magazines be airbrushed to oblivion but even the people we see in real time live broadcasting. It could easily get to a point where what we see on our TV live is an old black woman, but the person being filmed at the other end is a young white guy for example. It doesn't bode well when you consider how manipulated what we see in media today already is. ...
I don't get it. It's just a video containing good special effects. It has no reflection on digital retouching, as it doesn't actually contain any, as far as I can see. Unless you just mean that what we saw in that video may one day in theory be possible?
So what's the difference between that and the T1000 morphing into different people in Terminator 2? 20 years ago I might add.
The difference is, they couldn't have made that video 20 years ago, T2 was nowhere near that level. What you see in T2 is merely a post process morphing effect the one or two times you actually see a CGI representation of the actor, you can clearly tell it's a computer generated image and not a 'real' shot of the actor. There's a big big difference between T2 and modern CGI techniques. Pure CGI today still isn't at that level for reproducing realistic flesh close up, this video is kind of a hybrid mixture of the digital retouching/photoshop and CGI. The photoshopping we see today also wasn't possible back then. This video meshes the two together with impressive results, and IMO shows how close we are to that future. The reason you couldn't do this in real time now is because it isn't built into the infrastructure of broadcast and the computing power needed just wouldn't work for filming out in the field for like news reports etc and even in a studio it would be cost prohibitive, but as we all know technology moves very quickly, so it isn't hard to imagine at all, that in the next few decades everything we see including live TV could be manipulated far more than it is today. Like I said, merely a talking point, one that I thought may be of interest to the digital artists, hence why I posted it in here.
