Cinema's Photoshop

MovieReshape is new software that would allow film and what Photoshop has allowed for photography: external elements change figures
Everyone knows that nowadays almost no photography magazines that has not been intensive Photoshop work, it smoothed wrinkles and fat removed. World Cinema difficult to recover these capabilities, given that finishing touch video image is nothing like polishing a still image. At least until now. New software claims to do for movies what Photoshop has done for photos.MovieReshape software developed by the Bioinformatics Institute of the Max Planck Institute in Germany allows you to change dimensions and shapes of characters and film insert amendments into the subject content. Programmers can, for example, change the height of the player (the attention of the reader Tom Cruise) or the weight (to the attention of reader John Goodman). The software also can add muscle to simulate (to the attention of all the Jewish actors in Hollywood). With all that is not enough - the software should also change the look of the player based on the definition of age (who saw Ray Liotta made up in an amateur trying to give him the look of an old man in "aspirations" starring Johnny Depp - know how much capacity is required in Hollywood such). "What it takes days when you use special effects software, takes only a few hours in our software," declared one of the developers.Software is still not perfect - at this stage these changes can be made only in scenes with bright background and uniform, which probably means it would take time until they can be used Batman movie series. What is - the current situation can also be helpful MovieReshape advertising industry, its 30-second clips can often be satisfied with these simple background settings. Because the software can change the appearance of man even extreme forms, say developers advertisers can take one clip and create different versions of it intended to broadcast in different parts of the world. Thus, for example, be possible to change the player's skin color to black rectangle for broadcast in Africa. Software is expected to be available within a few months, and displayed for example at the graphics to be held in Seoul in December.
