The VFX of "Dai Nipponjin"

Computer Animation Festival 109 In “Dai Nipponjin,” Japan’s busiest comedian, Hitosi Matumoto, is recreated as a photorealistic 3D CG character. Creating “virtual actors” has been a challenge in Japan’s stringent production environment, but we created a low-cost, high-performance solution that has been optimized to the Japanese motion picture industry. We created photorealistic actors with a limited number of staff and managed to complete 370 VFX shots in just one year by combining in-house software with hand work and without using expensive methods like facial motion capture. This is the first time a “virtual actor” or performance-capture style film has been created within the limited production budget typical of Asian films. The merits of this method include reuse of the same character resources for sequels, game development, and other multi-media expansions. It also minimizes the actors’ hours and risks.
