Puppeteers, CG meet to create 'Real Steel' robots

LOS ANGELES - Big-budget sci-fi films and computer-generated visual effects are closely related and probably will continue in future years. This does not, there is nothing magical about it with the techniques and skills to create human life, "in the flesh" version of another world, or the character of futuristic films take us on the screen.
It's part of the reason director Shawn Levy decided to big, gadget-rich version of the "puppet" of boxing robots Hugh Jackman new action film, "Real Steel", the building opened in theaters yesterday. Dreamworks film is set in the near future when the human fighters were replaced by mechanical boxer.
There are many CG shots of soldiers training machine ring and went at it lap after lap. But Levy's Legacy Securities build should work "real life" version of the animatronic creature with Jackson and other actors to interact in the set.
During the recent press event for the film, Levy said he was, how well the robot works and how easily rubbed elbows with them, work in amazement.
Effects Legacy builds a robot doll 24 in total, including a version of the atomic big "stars", Boy Noise and Ambush. According to statistics heritage, each more than 350 individual parts of the machine that contains the doll, what the final creation, which weighs more than 250 pounds. Each leg joints can be adjusted by the operator control over the bots will be articulating rod puppet theater. Legacy uses digital sculpting and design software in-house creations for all of the final turn in four months.
"It's hard to believe, but the truth is if you are in the presence of these robots and they are moving, you think of them as real."
- Shawn Levy, "Real Steel" Director
"We have very few accidents" Levy said. "These robots and puppeteers who are working with a remote they are very reliable. We had a terrible time at the beginning of the first paper, where the ambush fighting, police in the opening of the movie he was standing on the tailgate,. And in the middle of taking, I think the system hydraulic goes haywire, and reducing the chin and it started to fall down like that, that he broke his own collarbone, and has her chin resting on his chest plate., and it's scary. "
"It's hard to believe, but the truth is if you are in the presence of these robots and they are moving, you think of them as real," continued Levy. "Must see to destroy [Ambush] sort of yourself a little sad. So we have a break 25 minutes and we still stand. And from that moment, we do not have an accident I was very, very happy with. The result is the impact of practices that rare anymore."
Levy said he would work to build a version of the robot, so the actor will have more to play than the green screen.
"If you ask [the perpetrators] to pretend a tennis ball that hard," he said. "But if you ask an actor, a scene with the robot 8.5 meters true playing well, you get something else And so you get an effective reality., And you also get a visual reality. I just think there is a difference. And I know that I wanted to film because the premise is very nice from the outside I really want as a aesthetics and style of the film is quite realistic .. "
CG obviously faster, action-packed sequence of robots, more movement. Team Legacy computer is used to "touch" puppet sequence with some additional details, repairs and damage animation.
