    Here's how we did our recreation of one of my favourite visual / practical effects from Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade - the "Path of God" scene where Indy must take a leap of faith into a high ravine, where an "invisible" bridge is camouflaged through the use of forced perspective.
    Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) created this amazing effect by filming Harrison Ford against a blue screen, and compositing him into a shot of a model bridge and matte painting backgrounds (cheaper than building a full-size set). A puppet of Ford was used to create a shadow on the model.
    We attempted to recreate this effect in our studio using a green screen (our green screen is bigger than out blue screen for full-length shots) and a slider to do the sideways camera movement for the character. We couldn't do as long a move as in the film, which was most likely done using a track and dolly, and when building the model we had to scale down the move even further. I am by no means a master matte painter like they had at ILM, so the result isn't photorealistic but hopefully demonstrates the technique!
    We didn't have any kind of motion control like ILM probably did, and so instead we filmed the full-scale element first, filmed the model at half speed (guessing the distance though trial and error) and then used time-remapping to match the timing to the first shot. Then we used motion tracking to do most of the matching to "stick" the figure into the right place to the bridge, with some manual adjustments of position keyframes to finish.

    • @justmythought7658

      I thought it was stupid, because it only works in movies with a controlled camera. Indiana Jones should have been able to see the bridge easily.

    • @steepfrugut
      @steepfrugut 3 года назад +1

      @JustMy Thought Yeah, I see your point. I just always assumed that the illusion was "intended" to be seen at Indy's eye level, and once he took a few steps "on faith" that the bridge would be visible. The idea being that it was not visible _until after_ he took the first steps. The fact that the perspective has to be different for the camera is just so that we as viewers can also be tricked by the illusion, if that makes sense. At least that's how I always understood it.

    Works in the cinema but they proved that it wouldn’t have fooled Indy (wasn’t myth busters, but some similar show). Having two eyes on it your brain can work out the perspective difference. Obviously it works in film as you’re viewing a ‘flat image’. Not taking anything away from the scene (or then while film for that matter), it’s awesome

      This shot goes by pretty fast in the movie, and it’s an effect most people have no personal experience with. (And it doesn’t really quite work in person if you have two eyes or move your head at all.) So I think many, many viewers didn’t understand what was happening. Too bad, because it’s a clever idea and well executed.
