Ngoba izinjini zesikhathi sangempela zizoba yikusasa lokukhiqizwa kwethelevishini

Kusukela ezitudiyo ezinkulu zefilimu kuya kubakhiqizi abazimele, amathuluzi okukhiqiza esikhathi sangempela ayahlolwa njengenye indlela esebenzayo yokushutha kusethiwe. Injini yegeyimu yesikhathi sangempela, efana ne-Unreal Engine noma Unity, iwuhlaka lwesofthiwe oluvumela abasebenzisi ukuthi bakhe, balawule, futhi bahlanganyele nezinto ze-CG kanye nezindawo ngesikhathi sangempela. Inikeza inqubo eqondiwe kuhluzo futhi igcwalise umkhuba osumisiwe oya ku-CGI enkulu nengcono.

Ukwenyuka okubukhali kokusetshenziswa kwe-CGI kumabonakude namafilimu, okuhambisana nokwanda okusheshayo kwemboni yemidlalo (manje enkulu kakhulu kuneHollywood) kuholele ekuhlanganeni. Zombili izinhlangothi ziyangena ezimakethe ezifanayo; isibonelo, isitudiyo somdlalo wokuvukela umbuso sakha isitudiyo sefilimu nethelevishini sathenga amalungelo kuso IJaji Dredd, ngenkathi i-Netflix itshala kakhulu ku-animation, ukulungiswa kwayo kwe-2017 ye-franchise yemidlalo Castlevania kube yimpumelelo efakazelwe.

Kodwa ithelevishini ayikasebenzisi amandla aphelele ezinjini zesikhathi sangempela, nokusetshenziswa kwayo kudlula i-CG elula nemiphumela yangemuva. Lesi sihloko sihlola izitayela ezikhulayo zefilimu, ubuchwepheshe nemidlalo, sichaza izinzuzo ezingalethwa izinjini zesikhathi sangempela ekukhiqizweni kwethelevishini.

Umpambana-mgwaqo wezimboni

Ngokomlando, izihloko zegeyimu ezidumile azizange zihlale zihunyushwa kahle ebhayisikobho. Ngokunjalo, ama-movie ama-franchise adumile awaqinisekisanga impumelelo kumapulatifomu emidlalo. Nokho, kukhona okuhlanganisayo sekuqalile phakathi kwalezi zimboni ezimbili; ukwabelana ngolwazi, isipiliyoni kanye nobuchwepheshe.

Imiphumela ebonakalayo ibe yimbangela yokukhishwa kwama-movie amaningi. Ngisho namafilimu amafushane, njengawo I-Star Wars: Umsuka, bonisa i-CG ehambisana nemikhiqizo eyinhloko. Eqinisweni, izinjini zesikhathi sangempela sezivele zisetshenziswa ekukhiqizeni amafilimu. I-Disney ihole indlela eminyakeni yakamuva ngezigcawu zazo zombili Ukuthola Dory e I-Rogue One: I-Star Wars Story usebenzisa i-Unreal Engine 4, isibonelo. Futhi ethandwa kakhulu, UMbumbulu, kusetshenziswe izinjini zegeyimu yesikhathi sangempela namasethi okukhiqiza e-LED abonakalayo kuziqephu zawo eziningi.

Ngokuhambisanayo, imboni yezokudlala isiphenduke i-cinematic ngokwandayo: umugqa ohlukanisa lezi zinkundla ezimbili usuqalile ukufiphala. Imidlalo efana Unkulunkulu wempi thembela kakhulu kokuhlangenwe nakho kwesinema okuhlanganiswe ngokuphelele nokulandelana okudlalekayo. Owokugcina wethu iyanconywa futhi ngohlelo lwayo lwendaba oluhehayo. Amavidiyo asemidlalweni yomibili manje angatholakala ehlanganiswe ku-YouTube ukuze abalandeli bawajabulele njengezici ngazinye.

Ngokusekelwe ochungechungeni lwezincwadi zika-Andrzej Sapkowski, i-CD Projekt Red ilethe ukuduma emhlabeni wonke U-Witcher franchise, okuholele ekuguquleni ngempumelelo ithelevishini iNetflix. Izinjini zesikhathi sangempela zinikeza izitudiyo zikamabonakude inqwaba yezinketho zokubuka isimo, ukukhanyisa, ukuqopha, kanye nesivinini sokuqeda. Ubuchwepheshe obunika amandla okokuzizwisa kwemidlalo yesinema bungaguqula ukukhiqizwa kochungechunge lwethelevishini, bulethe isivinini esingaguquki nokuguquguquka.

Izinzuzo ezisheshayo

Njengoba sisondela esimweni esijwayelekile sangemva kwe-COVID, akungabazeki ukuthi izinqubo ezijwayelekile zizojwayelaniswa nezikhali ngokumelene nanoma yikuphi ukuphazamiseka okuzayo. Ukushutha okubukhoma kuzohlala kukhona, kodwa izitudiyo zefilimu zingazuza kuphela ngokulungisa ukwakheka kwazo ukuze zisekele izixazululo zobuchwepheshe.

Ngokwakha isethi ebonakalayo usebenzisa izikrini ze-LED, izindawo eziningi zokuthwebula ngaphambilini zingadalwa futhi zifakwe epayipini lokukhiqiza. Ukushintsha izimo zokukhanyisa, izindawo zingadalwa ngokushesha futhi ngezinga eliphezulu lokwenza ngokwezifiso, konke okunikezwa ngesikhathi sangempela ngosuku lokudubula. Ukulingiswa kwezindawo kungafinyelelwa ngaphandle kokwakha isethi ebonakalayo, ukususa isidingo sokuya phesheya kwezilwandle noma indawo yangaphandle. Amandla okukhanyisa isethi usebenzisa izikrini ze-LED athuthukisa ukwakheka futhi aqede nesidingo sokulungiswa kombala okukuthunyelwe ngokuvamile okudingekayo uma kusetshenziswa izikrini eziluhlaza.

Ukudala imibono elindelwe ezinjinini zesikhathi sangempela kungonga isikhathi nemali ngokuvumela amaqembu akhiqizayo ukuthi abone amasethi e-3D anembile, anezikali futhi asungule amafreyimu nokushintsha izithombe ngaphambi kokuba kwakhiwe amasethi abizayo. Lokhu kuvala igebe phakathi kokukhiqizwa kwangaphambi nangemuva. Isikhathi sangempela singaphinda silinganise ukulinganiselwa kwangaphambilini kweshothi yokugcina, kwehlise ngokumangazayo inani lokuphindaphinda okudingekayo. Izimpahla zedijithali nazo zingasetshenziswa kabusha - lokhu kulungele ikakhulukazi izitudiyo ezisebenza ngesu le-franchise.

Yini inkinga?

Ngazo zonke izinzuzo ezibalwe ngenhla nezibonelo ezingenakubalwa zezinjini zesikhathi sangempela ezisetshenziswa kumageyimu namasinema (njenge Izinto zayo ezimnyama), kungani ukutholwa kwezingane zokutholwa kungakaze kwenzeke? Iqiniso liwukuthi ubuchwepheshe busha futhi kungathatha isikhathi ukungena kuyo yonke imboni.

Imibono ecatshangwe ngaphambili yezindleko nekhono, okuhambisana nokwethembeka ekugelezeni komsebenzi okuvamile, kusho ukuthi izitudiyo ziyanqikaza ukubheja kokuthile obekugcinelwe imboni ehlukile ngaphambilini. Eqinisweni, isabelomali singancishiswa kakhulu uma sisetshenziswa ngendlela efanele. Ukunciphisa izindleko zezindawo eziningi kukodwa kungenza umehluko omkhulu. Futhi isivinini sokubhida ngesikhathi sangempela singanciphisa kakhulu amahora adingekayo okukhiqiza okuvamile.

Abameli bobuchwepheshe kufanele bethule ukuhlaziya kwezindleko zenzuzo phakathi kokudubula endaweni ehleliwe kanye nendawo enikeziwe. Ukwenza isibonelo sezinzuzo ngokwemibandela yangempela kuzoba nomthelela omkhulu.

Ngokunjalo, izitudiyo zemidlalo manje zinenhloko-dolobha yokutshala kumabonakude nezinsiza zokusakaza, kokubili ngokuzivumelanisa nemidlalo ngokwazo nangokusebenzisa ama-IP asekuqaleni esinema. Abantu asebevele banolwazi lwezobuchwepheshe bangasheshisa ngokumangazayo ukutholwa.

Njengoba ukukhiqizwa okusethiwe kumabonakude kusancipha, manje isikhathi sokutshala isikhathi nemali kumamotho esikhathi sangempela njengokushintshwa okuthuthukisiwe kokusetha kwendabuko. Ikhwalithi efinyelelekayo ngezinjini zesikhathi sangempela - okuhlanganisa amaleveli amasha e-photorealism engenzeka nge-Unreal Engine 5 - izoguqula imboni ngokwandisa uchungechunge nokukhiqizwa kwefilimu. Ngobuchwepheshe besikhathi sangempela, i-TV iwumngcele wokugcina.
