Arraiy is a computer vision and machine learning platform specifically designed for film and television effects. Below is a behind the scenes look at Arraiy in action. This is a solid look at the future of real-time visual effects that usually requires days of rendering to produce.
Take a look behind the scenes of The Mill’s most recent groundbreaking project ‘The Human Race’. Joining forces with Epic Games and Chevrolet, The Mill has revolutionized the conventions of digital filmmaking with a short film that debuted at GDC 2017.
Combining an advanced implementation of Epic’s Unreal Engine with The Mill’s proprietary virtual production toolkit, Mill Cyclops™, “The Human Race” merges real-time visual effects and live-action storytelling. The combined technologies were pushed beyond the limits of existing real-time rendering capabilities to produce a futuristic film that features the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in a heated race with the Chevrolet FNR autonomous concept car.
The only physical vehicle filmed for “The Human Race” was the Mill BLACKBIRD®. Until now, CG cars were added by visual effects artists in post-production, requiring days of rendering to produce high-quality imagery. During this shoot, however, live video feeds as well as positional data from the Arraiy tracking system were fed directly into Unreal Engine. The Camaro was then rendered and composited seamlessly into the footage in real-time AR, allowing the directors to instantly see the final look and composition of each shot. The same real-time technology was used to create, alter and produce the short film, blurring the lines between production and post.
