“ It was really severe , it was really tedious , it was really tedious , it was really expensive . And then next time we do it it ’s go to be less difficult , and less dim and less expensive . ”
That ’s what Ed Ulbrich , Executive VP of Production at Digital Domain told me about designing the 100 % digital head see in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button — a challenge he right consult to as the “ Holy Grail ” of special effects visualize .
In case you were interested in a few more particular regarding the process , Ulbrich ’s TED talk from a few month back is quite telling . Despite the ludicrously complicated methodological analysis ( handily foreshorten during TED ) , Ulbrich ca n’t deny that human recreation will democratize like every other in the special effects industry , like morphing .
“ In 1991 when I saw Terminator 2 , it flub my mind . It made me want to be in this business . It was a miracle , ” Ulbrich said . “ Now , I have a 5 - year - older daughter who has a little program on the Mac that can take two exposure and morph them . It becomes just another arrow in your quiver . ”
