天津北方网讯:卡梅隆佩斯集团为李安导演的3D电影《少年派的奇幻漂流》获得四项奥斯卡奖而自豪,很荣幸成为此影片的技术支持。
“少年派“是关于一个年轻男子横渡太平洋的恐怖旅程,这是一项高超艺术成就,周日晚上在在洛杉矶举行的第85届奥斯卡颁奖典礼获得四个奥斯卡奖项,即最佳导演、最佳原创配乐、最佳视觉效果和最佳摄影。
卡梅隆佩斯集团为“少年派”的前期创作构思到后期最终完成提供3D效果的技术支持,并对影片给予技术咨询和创新技术支持,这再次证明了3D影片的艺术效果和市场潜力。
“少年派”成为获得奥斯卡奖的三个实景3D电影之一。三影片(“阿凡达”、“雨果”和“少年派”)出自同一技术支持:CPG已成为三个奥斯卡获奖3D影片的主要专业知识和技术提供者。
这三部电影也使CPG坚信坚持高品质的立体产品和3D媒体实践是可能的。
一个全球的胜利
很多人认为“少年派”无法搬上荧幕,因为其极其困难的场景要求(一个孟加拉虎在一个小救生筏上)。本片的导演,第二次赢得奥斯卡最佳导演奖的李安回忆说:“我认为这是一件不可能的事情”。但是一次去伯班克参观CPG设备让李安导演意识到,也许3D技术可以把他的奇异的艺术效果搬到荧幕上。李安导演和周日获得了自己第一个奥斯卡最佳摄影奖的克劳迪奥•米兰达摄影师决定使用3D技术。电影制作人和CPG的创始人和共同主席佩斯商定此项目的所使用的最好的设备和拍摄方法。“少年派”标志着米兰达第二次和CPG合作,之前的合作为《电子世界争霸战2》。无论是在伯班克,中国台湾本地和印度,“少年派”的制作团队都获得CPG的3D电影世界领先设备和技术支持。这包括立体摄影机架和设计最先进的水下立体图像捕获设备,能让在水面上的不沾水3D摄影机接收到这些令人震惊的精美画面。CPG团队还建造了专门用来站在太平洋拍摄电影的170万加仑水箱作为相机外壳。
根据评论家的反映,“少年派”是给人最亲密和视觉效果最好的3D影片之一。
理查德•威廉姆森在《时代》杂志上写道“李安导演想给观众震惊的效果和开创3D的新时代”。
“少年派”在詹姆斯•卡梅隆的《阿凡达》完美取得成功的基础上拍摄,比《猿族崛起》动画扑捉技术更先进,开创一个令人惊奇的可感触、奇特的世界。佩斯说:“李安的电影让人感觉非常棒,让你能有置身于海洋和人类文明隔绝的感觉”。据统计,“少年派”在全球获得近乎6亿美元的票房收入,远远超过其他提名的影片。
这部影片在中国也取得了票房上的成功。卡梅隆佩斯集团中国总部正在构建一个综合的3D产品生产基地,以支持国家的顶尖创新人才培养。在早些时候获得英国电影和电视艺术学院奖类似奖项后,米兰达获得自己的奥斯卡最佳摄影奖,这个影片也被国际3D社区所称赞,为3D实景故事片和立体摄影摘得奖项,飞鱼似乎能吞没电影的小救生艇是“3D电影年”的标志性场景。CPG联合主席卡梅隆先生说:“‘少年派’在视觉上是令人惊异的,并具有独创性,它可以用让人不能意识到的方式产生效果,我觉得我们的技术为3D产业做出了无人能比的贡献”。在过去的4年里,CPG制作的3部3D影片都被授予“奥斯卡最佳摄影”这一极有声望的荣誉称号。

在2012年8月,CPG启动卡梅隆佩斯集团中国总部。CPGC在市场中有独特的位置,因为在过去五年中中国市场已经体现了持续增长的潜力吗,很大程度上得益于CPG的联合主席卡梅隆先生的“阿凡达”和去年四月份上映取得历史性票房纪录的的“坦克尼克号3D版”。CPGC建立在美国公司取得成功的基础上,通过给中国市场提供电影、电视、直播、广告和其他媒体格式的顶尖技术人才,为全球高质量3D制作提供行之有效的技术及服务。
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.
