The filmmaker Georges Méliès was first a magician.
1
16050
6091
起初,電影製作者喬治‧梅里耶是位魔術師
00:22
Now movies proved to be the ultimate medium for magic.
2

6760
現在證實電影是魔術的終極媒介
00:28
With complete control of everything the audience can see,
3
28901
5481
由於可以完全控制觀眾之所見
00:34
moviemakers had developed an arsenal of techniques
4
34382
4357
電影製作者已經研發出一系列的技術
00:38
to further their deceptions.
5
38739
4294
來加強他們對觀眾的視覺誤導
00:43
Motion pictures are themselves an illusion of life,
6
43033
4815
電影本身就是對事物的一種錯覺
00:47
produced by the sequential projection of still frames,
7
47848
3843
產生自連續投影有序的靜止畫面
00:51
and they astonished the Lumière brothers' early audiences.
8
51691
4868
電影讓盧米埃兄弟的早期觀眾十分驚訝
00:56
Even today's sophisticated moviegoers
9
56559
2696
時至今日,對電影很精通的影迷
00:59
still lose themselves to the screen,
10
59255
2920
依然深陷其中不可自拔
01:02
and filmmakers leverage this separation from reality
11
62175
3680
電影製作者們將這種脫離現實的效果
01:05
to great effect.
12
65855
2547
充分利用
01:08
Now imaginative people have been having fun with this
13
68402
4310
如今富有想像力的人們已從這其中獲得樂趣
01:12
for over 400 years.
14

多達超過 400 年

詹巴蒂斯塔·德拉波爾塔是一位那不勒斯的學者
01:18
in the 16th century, examined and studied the natural world
16
78582
5602
在十六世紀,審查和研究自然世界
01:24
and saw how it could be manipulated.
17
84184
3647
並見識到它是可以被如何操控
01:27
Playing with the world, and our perception of it,
18
87831
3416
玩轉這個世界,還有我們對它的認識
01:31
really is the essence of visual effects.
19
91247
3290
才真正是視覺特效的實質
01:34
So digging deeper into this
20
94537
2182
所以我與美國影藝學院共同對此進行更深入的研究
01:36
with the Science and Technology Council
21
96719
2352
所以我與美國影藝學院共同對此進行更深入的研究
01:39

所以我與美國影藝學院共同對此進行更深入的研究
01:42
reveals some truth behind the trickery.
23
102231
4488
揭示了這種手法背後的一些真相
01:46
Visual effects are based on the principles of all illusions:
24
106719
5344
視覺特效是建立在錯覺的原理之上的:
01:52
assumption, things are as we know them;
25
112063
3680
假想-我們知道的事
01:55
presumption, things will behave as we expect;
26
115743
4073
推測-我們期望事情的走向
01:59
and context in reality,
27
119816
2497
還有現實背景-我們對所知世界的認識
02:02
our knowledge of the world as we know it,
28
122313
2592
還有現實背景-我們對所知世界的認識
02:04
such as scale.
29
124905
1602
比如規模
02:06
Now a fourth factor really becomes an obsession,
30
126507
4077
現在有第四項因素變得令人著迷
02:10
which is, never betray the illusion.
31
130584
4105
這個因素是,永遠不要暴露幻覺
02:14
And that last point has made visual effects
32
134689
3103
因此,這個最後的因素使視覺特效成爲了
02:17
a constant quest for perfection.
33
137792
3352
對完美持久的追求
02:21
So from the hand-cranked jump cut early days of cinema
34
141144
4727
所以,從早期電影手搖式的跳接
02:25
