Despite the world-renowned 2016 Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Award (also known as the Oscar Award), it was not until the end of February, but another lesser-known award established by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences - Science and Engineering Award (Scientific And Engineering Awards) has been announced. Just a few days ago, the college revealed that Laika Entertainment, an animation studio from Hillsboro, will receive an award for its pioneering work on high-quality 3D printing technology for animation.
The average audience may not be familiar with Laika Entertainment, but the company has produced a number of fine animated films, most notably the "Corpse Bride" (2005). In fact, the relevant media has also reported on this company. In 2014, the company used 3D modeling and 3D printing technology extensively in its animated film Boxtrolls. Prior to this, Laika was nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture Award three times.
It is understood that the Science and Engineering Award will be officially presented to Laika's Brian McLean and Martin Meunier at a party in February at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to reward them for their impressiveness in Box Monster. jobs.
So, what are the specific reasons for their awards? In fact, Laika is one of the few companies that focus on quite a bit of stop motion animation technology. The so-called stop motion animation is to shoot a puppet with different postures in a frame, and then make an animation by continuous screening. It creates a very compelling character shape, but it tends to be outdated, because the limited budget means that the producer can't provide too many puppets with different expressions. However, Laika overcomes these problems with 3D printing—they have developed hundreds of different facial features that can be transformed by swapping the eyes, nose, mouth and other organs with 3D printing. This is really significant for stop motion animation.
As a result of these achievements, Laika's rapid prototyping director Brian McLean and former animator Martin Meunier won the Science and Engineering Award. “The rapid prototyping process has evolved from a crazy idea of ​​more than a decade to today's breakthrough technology, which has forever changed the production of stop motion animation movies,†McLean said.
Richard Edlund, the chairman of the Science and Engineering Awards Committee and the visual effects artist Oscar, explained the prototype of Laika's selection this year. “This year's winners represent a wide range of new technologies, from modular inflatable air wall systems to composite visuals, to the ubiquitous 3D digital mapping system and 3D printing technology in animation.†He explained “Because of its excellence and innovative work, these technicians, engineers and inventors have further provided filmmakers with more creative opportunities on the big screen.†Laika's next film – Kubo and the Two Strings --- will be released in August this year.
