Motion Capture Technology for Entertainment

The year 2007 started with two big bangs for LucasFilm’s Industrial Light and Magic (ILM), the motion picture visual effects company started by George Lucas in 1975, in two eagerly awaited Hollywood events. In January, ILM won the “Scientific and Engineering Award” of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for their image-based modeling work applied to visual effects in the film industry. In February, ILM took home the Oscar for “Best Visual Effects” for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, a milestone achievement for ILM after their last Oscar for Forrest Gump in 1994 and many previous Oscars in their 32-year history of pioneering computer-based visual effects. In this column, we comment on the significance of these awards from a technical standpoint and the goal, challenges, and status of motion capture technology.
