Forum & Event ReportNews Center Pick up 795“LUNA” is video content created jointly by robots and IMAGICA. While even 4K/HDR is still in its very early stages, this is a very forward-thinking approach. Mr. Kawamoto, the Chief Editor of Commercial Photo, asked the director and production staff about what kind of challenges and issues they faced when making this video.Attempting a visual expression never attempted before“LUNA” is a work that combines 8K/HDR live filming with CG, and its images hit you with a vivid sense of presence. When creating this work, the producer, Mr. Haruyuki Moroi-shi, says that he set three missions: “to fuse beautiful images with the story, making the story the subject”; “to energize the story by visually expressing light using HDR”; and “to attempt to combine live filming with CG”. By making use of HDR for the moon and stars, and 8K high-resolution for the nighttime scenery, they came up with the idea of creating a modern version of Princess Kaguya.The director, Mr. Kazuma Ikeda, considered how to show the distinctive features of 8K/HDR in an attractive way. As well as, differing to the standard SDR and 2K/4K, what should be done about parts that are too visible? As a result, we decided that “expressing the characters’ presence, the atmo-sphere and the mood through images was crucial.” Therefore, hardly any skin touch-ups – a common practice – were made, and realism was left in wherever possible. Mr. Ikeda says, “Things visible on location are all shown on the screen in an unchanged state. So we worked very hard on scene prepara-tion to achieve a quality as if one were watching with the naked eye at the filming location.”Mr. Koichi Tonozuka talked about the hard work involved in shooting the video. Although the drama itself is 17 minutes long, filming took three days. In addition, filming took 22 hours a day and the other two hours were used for data backup. Post-production work was also physically grueling. Because of a photographic sensitivity problem in the night view scenes, there was a lot of video noise, so substantial time was taken to eliminate it. Also, due to the vast amount of data, Silverstack was used to copy data that was simultane-ously shot on main and backup cameras.Synergizing live filming with CG was trial and error. For example, Mr. Yumeto Kitayama says that 8K left a strong impression of “being too visible” when synergizing the moon. Precise details are not actually supposed to be seen, so there was a problem in deciding how much should not be shown. Being able to perform grading when synergizing with Rio was said to be an advantage.There were other major differences besides technology. Mr. Ikeda says, “For example, emotional parts such as smells and coldness can be felt just by using images. This allows us to omit explanatory film-cutting when putting a film together.” In the case of camera blocking also, the cutting method differs to standard video, he says.This is how 17 minutes of video was made. It was only shown in 4K/SDR at the venue, but one could feel the breathing of the characters appearing in the video. We look forward to the time when people watch 8K/HDR in a relaxed environment.Backstage of Production on the Short 8K/HDR Film “LUNA” - New creative territory -2:00PM-2:45PM, Friday, November 18th
