A Cast of Thousands
:: 3Dgate.com - Your Source For All That Is 3D :: 1/23/02 10:36 AM A Cast of Thousands ILM Reveals Six Techniques for Creating Artificial Crowds. by Chris Tome On the day Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace opened at movie theaters, many companies in California's Silicon Valley gave their employees the day off. Even banks and insurance companies, it seems, fell under All images © Lucasfilm Ltd & TM. All rights reserved. Digital George Lucas' spell. work by ILM. One organization that might not have so been happy was the Screen Actors Guild. After all, it's not easy to get digital actors to pay their yearly dues. And make no mistake about it, The Phantom Menace is chock full of non-union thespians. The movie swarms with them—from humanoids to droids to alien swamp creatures. Notwithstanding prominent CG life forms such as Jar Jar Binks and Boss Nass (the subject of last month's in-depth character study), most of the film's artificial actors appear in crowd scenes. Concocted by the ingenious team at Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), these sequences present an utterly convincing cast of thousands, even when the actual number of flesh-and-blood actors onscreen is no more than a dozen, and sometimes none at all. How did they pull it off? In more ways than you can shake a light saber at. Some didn't even involve computers, such as the attentive audience of painted Q-Tips that fill the stadium bleachers during the pod race on the planet Tattooine. Digital technology did fill the stadium grounds and aisles, however, where a throng of animated human and alien figures was emitted by a Maya-based particle system that calculated their paths on the fly using artificial intelligence. -

All, Our Principal Source of Revenue and Our Most Effective Way of Telling the World What We're About
FRO M THE PRESIDENT The Academy Awards telecast is probably the most-watched annual program in the world. That fact notwithstanding, the Board of Governors spent a lot of time during the second quarter of this year, trying to set policies that will help the downward-ticking ratings of our broadcast. It is, after all, our principal source of revenue and our most effective way of telling the world what we're about. The Awards Review Committee, chaired by Public Relations Branch Governor Marvin Levy, spent three long meetings discussing the show and how to shorten it; the Awards Rules Committee, chaired by Music Branch NARRATIVE GOLD MEDAL WINNER JESSICA SHARZER Governor Charles Bernstein, spent equally MAKES HER WAY TO HER SEAT IN THE GOLDWYN THEATER long hours pursuing the same goal, particu larly by reducing the number of special awards such as the Thalberg and Hersholt E leven film students from eight U.S. universities presented on recent shows. took home Saul Bass-designed Student Academy At the June meeting the Board accepted Awards at the 29th annual competition in June. three major changes that will, we hope, have Arriving in Los Angeles on a Wednesday, the win a salutary effect. ners spent the rest of the week meeting each other and First, the Board voted to require the pro Academy staff, chatting with cinematographers at the ducer of the show to bring it to a close ASC and directors at the DGA, and meeting Academy before midnight on the East Coast.

Press Coverage
PRESS COVERAGE Animator, Gorilla and War Top VES Awards Wednesday February 15, 2006 Animation’s sweetheart John Lasseter found himself wedged between the vfx giant pics WAR OF THE WORLDS and KING KONG as they all commanded the awards and praise at the 4th Annual VES Awards tonight, (Feb. 15, 2006) at the Hollywood Paladium in Hollywood to a sold-out crowd attending the Visual Effects Society black-tie fete recognizing outstanding visual effects in 20 categories of film, television, commercials, music videos and games. WAR OF THE WORLDS and KING KONG each won in three categories. VES exec director Eric Roth opened the evening but the stage soon became dominated by celebrities all drawn to honor Lasseter, many of whom are featured as voices in his upcoming movie, CARS, he is directing for Pixar. More members of the press than usual were drawn to check out the Pixar/Disney proclaimed heir to the feature animated portion of the Walt Disney kingdom. There were many more pr handlers at this year’s awards the Pixar awardees, Lasseter (recipient of the Georges Méliès Award for Artistic Excellence) and Jim Morris (given the VES Board of Directors Award), whose own handlers diligently monitored their access. Morris, VES founding chairman, is working on a film at Pixar he could not comment on and Lassetter was limited about discussing the future of projects under his upcoming watch at Disney Feature Animation and Pixar. The actors poured on the praise for Lasseter, not only for his artistry, storytelling and dedication, but for also bringing great joy and a child-like enjoyment and sense of discovery to the work. -
