Mago dos efeitos visuais de volta ao cinema

29abr11

Direto do site Variety :

Like lovers reuniting after awkward years apart, Douglas Trumbull and Hollywood are back together. Trumbull was a director and f/x supervisor who gave up feature filmmaking and moved into entertainment tech research after a traumatic experience on his 1983 pic Brainstorm, in which his star Natalie Wood died under mysterious circumstances.

He pioneered higher frame rates, developing the Show-scan system that ran at 60 frames per second, but Hollywood didn’t take it up, he says, because neither studios nor exhibitors were willing to change to 60p without the other going first. Now there’s finally a push for higher frame rates, and Trumbull, excited by the potential he saw in Avatar, wants to make movies again.

“I’m back in the saddle,” Trumbull told Variety. “I’ve got two screenplays I’m almost finished on, and I’m going to be using some really extreme new digital technologies.” He says he plans to shoot live-action but use virtual sets to slash costs and shoot as many as 100 setups a day. Trumbull laments that since he was a young movie fan, inspired by Stanley Kubrick, “the industry stopped 70mm, stopped Cinerama and multiplexed itself into oblivion.” He says the industry should be directing and editing in a new cinematic language.

“I think that’s going to get people back into theaters, because I think frankly people are kind of bored. They see the same-old, same-old formula all the time. You see your master shots and your two-shots and your over-shoulder and your closeups and your inserts, and everybody says, ‘I’ve seen that a billion times. … And so along comes Avatar that does something new, and it’s the biggest-grossing film of all time. So there’s a message.”

Douglas Trumbull foi o responsável pelos efeitos visuais de 2001 – UMA ODISSÉIA NO ESPAÇO, CONTATOS IMEDIATOS DO TERCEIRO GRAU, JORNADA NAS ESTRELAS – O FILME e BLADE RUNNER – O CAÇADOR DE ANDRÓIDES, além de ter dirigido duas ótimas ficções-científicas : CORRIDA SILENCIOSA e PROJETO BRAINSTORM.

Gosto muito de Corrida Silenciosa. Não sosseguei enquanto não achei o DVD pra comprar. Revi recentemente o Jornada nas Estrelas – O Filme e não achei nem um pouco chato. Na primeira vez que vi, achei quase insuportável. Com os efeitos especiais renovados da versão do diretor, o filme melhorou mil por cento.

Não deixa de ser interessante que seja um veterano do cinema que queira inovar o método de filmagem. Isso que ele falou dos mesmos planos over and over, é a pura verdade. Alguns filmes são quase teatro filmado. Ou pior, quase novela das oito.

  Gustavo, eu sou outro que vem dizendo há uns 10 anos que os efeitos especiais se tornaram caretas, chatos e preguiçosos. Reclamem o que quiserem de Avatar, mas seus efeitos e o 3D são fora de série. Você consegue ver as criaturas se movimentando com clareza, diferente de um Fúria de Titãs ou Thor onde os monstros parecem borrões passando pela tela.
