Creation of digital risk doubles using motion capture and photogrammetry for computer-generated imagery content

Abstract

In Colombia, the audiovisual industry has grown exponentially thanks to the policies on the orange economy, which seeks to impact the level of development in the artistic, cultural, and information and communication technologies sectors. In order to realize as a power in this sector worldwide, Colombia advances rapidly in the strengthening of the industry, venturing into the implementation of new technologies in special effects and post-production processes. In the flow of current film production, digital doubles, digital clones of the actor that allow dubbing for risky scenes, characters with particular aesthetics or actors that cannot be present in the set. The film industry has adopted in order to reduce the risks in the times of work of the actors, the reduction of the risks in the scenes of action and the decrease of the costs in the make-up and the utility. This article shows the process of developing a digital double in computer-generated imagery techniques, and how to achieve that digital realism that allows to pass, unnoticed dubbing, in order to socialize the industry knowledge and explore this type of innovations in their processes, following a sequential methodology from its conception to its conception.
