天津北方網訊:卡梅隆佩斯集團為李安導演的3D電影《少年派的奇幻漂流》獲得四項奧斯卡獎而自豪,很榮幸成為此影片的技術支持。
“少年派“是關於一個年輕男子橫渡太平洋的恐怖旅程,這是一項高超藝術成就,周日晚上在在洛杉磯舉行的第85屆奧斯卡頒獎典禮獲得四個奧斯卡獎項,即最佳導演、最佳原創配樂、最佳視覺效果和最佳攝影。
卡梅隆佩斯集團為“少年派”的前期創作構思到後期最終完成提供3D效果的技術支持,並對影片給予技術諮詢和創新技術支持,這再次證明了3D影片的藝術效果和市場潛力。
“少年派”成為獲得奧斯卡獎的三個實景3D電影之一。三影片(“阿凡達”、“雨果”和“少年派”)出自同一技術支持:CPG已成為三個奧斯卡獲獎3D影片的主要專業知識和技術提供者。
這三部電影也使CPG堅信堅持高品質的立體產品和3D媒體實踐是可能的。
一個全球的勝利
很多人認為“少年派”無法搬上熒幕,因為其極其困難的場景要求(一個孟加拉虎在一個小救生筏上)。本片的導演,第二次贏得奧斯卡最佳導演獎的李安回憶說:“我認為這是一件不可能的事情”。但是一次去伯班克參觀CPG設備讓李安導演意識到,也許3D技術可以把他的奇異的藝術效果搬到熒幕上。李安導演和周日獲得了自己第一個奧斯卡最佳攝影獎的克勞迪奧•米蘭達攝影師決定使用3D技術。電影制作人和CPG的創始人和共同主席佩斯商定此項目的所使用的最好的設備和拍攝方法。“少年派”標志著米蘭達第二次和CPG合作,之前的合作為《電子世界爭霸戰2》。無論是在伯班克,中國臺灣本地和印度,“少年派”的制作團隊都獲得CPG的3D電影世界領先設備和技術支持。這包括立體攝影機架和設計最先進的水下立體圖像捕獲設備,能讓在水面上的不沾水3D攝影機接收到這些令人震驚的精美畫面。CPG團隊還建造了專門用來站在太平洋拍攝電影的170萬加侖水箱作為相機外殼。
根據評論家的反映,“少年派”是給人最親密和視覺效果最好的3D影片之一。
理查德•威廉姆森在《時代》雜志上寫道“李安導演想給觀眾震驚的效果和開創3D的新時代”。
“少年派”在詹姆斯•卡梅隆的《阿凡達》完美取得成功的基礎上拍攝,比《猿族崛起》動畫撲捉技術更先進,開創一個令人驚奇的可感觸、奇特的世界。佩斯說:“李安的電影讓人感覺非常棒,讓你能有置身於海洋和人類文明隔絕的感覺”。據統計,“少年派”在全球獲得近乎6億美元的票房收入,遠遠超過其他提名的影片。
這部影片在中國也取得了票房上的成功。卡梅隆佩斯集團中國總部正在構建一個綜合的3D產品生產基地,以支持國家的頂尖創新人纔培養。在早些時候獲得英國電影和電視藝術學院獎類似獎項後,米蘭達獲得自己的奧斯卡最佳攝影獎,這個影片也被國際3D社區所稱贊,為3D實景故事片和立體攝影摘得獎項,飛魚似乎能吞沒電影的小救生艇是“3D電影年”的標志性場景。CPG聯合主席卡梅隆先生說:“‘少年派’在視覺上是令人驚異的,並具有獨創性,它可以用讓人不能意識到的方式產生效果,我覺得我們的技術為3D產業做出了無人能比的貢獻”。在過去的4年裡,CPG制作的3部3D影片都被授予“奧斯卡最佳攝影”這一極有聲望的榮譽稱號。

CAMERON | PACE GROUP IS PROUD TO CELEBRATE 'LIFE OF PI'S' FOUR ACADEMYAWARDS AND HONORED TO HAVE SUPPORTED ITS FILMMAKERS
"Life of Pi," the masterful rendition of a young man's terrifyingjourney across the Pacific, won four Academy Awards for Best Director,Best Original Score, Best Visual Effects and Best Cinematography at the85th Academy Awards Sunday night in Los Angeles.
CAMERON | PACE Group (CPG) supported “Pi's” 3D artistry frompre-production creative input to post-production finishing, lending bothexpertise and patented technology to a project that has reaffirmed theartistic and financial potential of 3D filmmaking.
“Pi” joins a select group of only three live-action 3D films toreceive the Oscar for Cinematography. The trio (“Avatar,” “Hugo”and “Pi”) share a singular provenance: _CPG has been the mainprovider of 3D expertise and technology for all three Oscar-winningfilms. _
The three films have also earned CPG Certification, which recognizesadherence to the highest quality of stereoscopic production and 3D mediaexperience possible.
A Global Triumph
“Pi” was considered by many to be unfilmable because of itsdaunting logistics (for one, a Bengal tiger in the confines of a smalllife raft). “I thought, 'this was an impossible project,'” recalledAng Lee, who won his second Best Director Oscar for the film. But a 2010visit to CPG facilities in Burbank convinced the director that 3D couldplay a pivotal role in bringing his singular vision to the screen.
Lee and cinematographer Claudio Miranda, who won his first Oscar onSunday for Best Cinematography, were determined to get 3D right. Thefilmmakers collaborated with CPG Co-Founder and Co-Chairman Vince Paceto identify the best equipment and methodology for the project. "Pi"marked Miranda's second collaborative effort with CPG, having workedpreviously with the company on “Tron: Legacy”. Both in Burbank andon locations in Taiwan and India, “Pi's” production team hadconstant access to CPG's equipment and world-leading experts instereoscopic filmmaking. This included patented camera rigs, acomprehensive process for on-set 3D dailies, and special technology tolet the above-water, "dry" 3D cameras capture the movie's highly praisedstorm sequence. The CPG team also constructed specialized camerahousings to film in the 1.7-million-gallon water tank used to stand infor the Pacific Ocean.
The result, according to critics, is one of the most intimate andvisually compelling uses of 3D ever captured on film. “Lee sets out toastound the viewer with the hitherto untapped properties of 3D,”observed Richard Corliss in Time Magazine. “'Pi' builds on thetriumphant innovations in James Cameron’s ‘Avatar,’ and theadvances in motion-capture technology evident in ‘Rise of the Planetof the Apes,’ to create a tactile, spectacular world of wonder.”
Adds Vince Pace, “With Ang’s movie, you connect so well. You feelyou’re in the middle of that ocean and isolated from civilization.”
"Pi" has garnered almost $600 million in worldwide ticket sales, aglobal tally that far surpasses any other best picture nominee thisyear. The film also triumphed in China, where CAMERON | PACE Group Chinais constructing an extensive production infrastructure to support thecountry's top creative talent.
Miranda's Oscar win for Best Cinematography follows his award in thesame category from the British Academy of Film and Television Artsearlier this month. The film was also lauded this year by theInternational 3D Society, picking up awards for live-action feature andlive-action stereography, and "3D Moment of the Year" for the remarkablescene in which flying fish appear to engulf the film's small lifeboat.
"'Pi' is visually amazing, inventive, and it works on you in ways youare not really aware of," says CPG Co-Chairman James Cameron. "I feellike the technology we have created has contributed to a masterpiece."
In the last four years, all three of the CPG-enabled 3D films nominatedfor Best Cinematography have received the prestigious award.
