it\u2019s a sculpting and engineering problem &#8211; and then we did turntables.<\/p>\n<p>At the start of the shoot we had concepts that featured just clean metal and no textures, and then during the shoot our team would be painting up textures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe made the decision to try and keep the shoulders and armpits in plate for the simple reason that rigging shoulder blades is not that much fun,\u201d notes Whitehurst.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSimilarly, we wanted to keep the hands and feet and face because that was the main method of interacting with the environment and the main method of expression.<\/p>\n<p>The arms and legs are full <a href=\"https:\/\/animationkolkata.com\/blog\/2017\/02\/09\/breathing-life-cg-effects-overview-motion-capture-films\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CG<\/a> because we see through them, and the same with the back of the head and neck.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Much of\u00a0<em>Ex Machina<\/em>\u00a0takes place inside Nathan&#8217;s house &#8211; an isolated building in the mountains filled with glass-lined walls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe set was really like an enclosed glass box,\u201d describes Whitehurst.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat meant the camera was either inside or outside, and there\u2019s nowhere to hide really, because it meant later on we had to body track things three or four times because the reflections are all different from lens and mirror distortion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That location challenge was exacerbated by the style of the film &#8211;\u00a0<em>Ex Machina<\/em>\u00a0is not intended to be an action adventure, but a more cerebral and intimate piece.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause the whole film is about human consciousness and what it means to be human and what it means to be conscious,\u201d outlines Whitehurst, \u201cit\u2019s very conversation-driven, almost exclusively. In order to get that relationship, you have to have an actor talking to another actor &#8211; they have to feed off each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The result was that, although significant digital work would be carried out by the visual effects team, motion capture was not an option.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2141\" src=\"https:\/\/animationkolkata.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/machinareal-gif-300x124.gif\" alt=\"vfx Maac Chowringhee\" width=\"752\" height=\"311\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The actors were always in the plates. For each take, then, a clean plate was acquired, and later extensive body tracking &#8211; including for shots up to 1600 frames &#8211; would be necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Production filmed on the <a href=\"http:\/\/pro.sony.co.in\/pro\/product\/broadcast-products-camcorders-digital-motion-picture-camera\/f65\/specifications\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sony F-65<\/a> with anamorphic lenses, which would ultimately make for challenging plate tracking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe did have one or two witness cams,\u201d notes Whitehurst. \u201cThe sets were all closed and not that massive, so the opportunities for placing witness cameras were limited.<\/p>\n<p>We always tried to have one and if we could get a second one in there we did. We had to paint out witness cams for some shots since it was sometimes just easier to do that and use it for body tracking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On set, Vikander wore a gray wetsuit material costume covering most of her body.<\/p>\n<p>When visual effects replaced a section of the actor, the remaining parts were still the wetsuit material.<\/p>\n<p>Each setup involved an IBL take. \u201cThe way the sets were built actually really let lent themselves for IBLs,\u201d notes Whitehurst.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlus at DNeg we have physically based shading pipeline and it really meant down the pipe that our lighting just worked.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Building Ava<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2144\" src=\"https:\/\/animationkolkata.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/ex-machina-vfx-breakdown-3-1506129556-300x125.gif\" alt=\"vfx Maac Chowringhee\" width=\"805\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Alicia Vikander wore a wetsuit-like costume on set, with certain key robotic parts replaced by DNeg.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure the CG elements would perfectly match to the live action photography, Vikander was initially photo booth scanned in pre-production so her equivalent CG model could be built.<\/p>\n<p>Once the final costume was ready on set, the actress was scanned again and the model refined.<\/p>\n<p>A key aspect of Ava\u2019s appearance was the mix of hard metal and then softer outer skin.<\/p>\n<p>The visual effects team also added \u2018ribbons\u2019 of plastic visible on the inside of Ava\u2019s translucent shell areas, which came from experiments made during the concept art phase.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was this lovely air of mystery you got from playing with the brushstrokes which meant that as soon as you build something for real, you can lose.<\/p>\n<p>So we thought, \u2018How could we add that sense of slightly confusing mystery back to her?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>What we did was add these translucent ribbons that run up and down the torso that just have that little bit of refraction on them so it just breaks things up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ava\u2019s inner mechanical parts, representing muscles to some degree, were constantly moving as she did, as Whitehurst explains: \u201cThey were all built into a rig where all of the muscles would fire correctly, and then we had various organs and gyroscopes that would just spin throughout.<\/p>\n<p>We ended up with a gold mesh based on air-actuated robot modules we found and then we wrapped a spiral of metal around each muscle because that helped read the contraction of the muscle as it\u2019s moving. It\u2019s almost subconscious in the end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Milk VFX worked with Double Negative to create a CG brain for Ava who referenced a jellyfish and technical feel, as well as delivering Ava POV shots. Utopia also contributed VFX to the film.<\/p>\n<p>The mechanical parts and ribbons were rendered via DNeg\u2019s physically plausible rendering pipeline (which uses<strong> RenderMan<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPhysically plausible gives you that photographic quality that you can\u2019t get any other way,\u201d says Whitehurst.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can get beautiful renderings not using this approach, but they have a painted quality &#8211; they don\u2019t feel as photographic &#8211; especially when you\u2019re dealing with very known materials.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those known materials were replicated with shaders for things such as aluminum, chrome, silver and steel.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2143\" src=\"https:\/\/animationkolkata.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/exmachina-vfx-1-300x256.jpg\" alt=\"vfx Maac Chowringhee\" width=\"566\" height=\"483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.animationkolkata.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/exmachina-vfx-1-300x256.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.animationkolkata.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/exmachina-vfx-1.jpg 618w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 566px) 100vw, 566px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFundamentally,\u201d notes Whitehurst, \u201cif the material\u2019s correct and it doesn\u2019t look right, then you\u2019ve got the lighting wrong.<\/p>\n<p>We tested it in all the lighting environments we knew she was going to be in, and we tweaked some level of displacement on Ava\u2019s body mesh on wider shots because you didn\u2019t read it there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Having anticipated early the challenges of incorporating Ava\u2019s CG elements into the shots, Whitehurst says that compositing was still a tough and brute-force challenge.
