Creating a spectacle: IMAX specially shot "a lot of the footage that no one has seen".
In the special, Phil Groves fully unveils the secrets behind the big-screen spectacle of "Asteroid Hunter". Asteroid Hunter was shot with IMAX, which became an important basis for the film's effects: "That's why the 3D effects of this film are so engaging, immersive and so realistic. Because visual storytelling is the biggest advantage of the IMAX format. ”
In the specific production, Phil Groves and the creative team combined unprecedented live-action attempts with breathtaking visual effects creation, and ensured that "everything was presented with precision and respect for the science behind it", creating a majestic and rigorous scientific spectacle on the IMAX big screen. Speaking of which, Phil Groves knows a lot about the colorful scenes in the film. The scene where the Delta-4 heavy launch vehicle was launched was the highlight of the film, "No team was authorized to be so close to the launch pad as we were. The scene of an asteroid "visiting" Earth is a typical example of the visuals: "When you see these asteroids levitating near a famous place known to man, you get an idea of the basic volume of the asteroid we are observing. The same shock and rigor also exist in many grand scenes such as the asteroid hitting the earth, waiting for the audience to discover and feel them one by one in the IMAX theater.
Looking to the future: "For asteroids, there is only one kind of person on Earth. ”
At the same time, Phil Groves opened his heart and sincerely shared the origin of his creation. "Asteroid Hunter" came out first of all for the purpose of correcting misconceptions: "I wanted to use this film to inform people about the existence of asteroid threats without causing panic among the public, because in fact asteroid impact is a natural disaster that we can prevent." Calling for the cooperation of all mankind on this issue is another vision of the creators, because the asteroid impact is a common threat to humanity and can only be faced by all mankind: "For asteroids, there is only one kind of human beings on Earth. The asteroid eye has no borders, and its impact is indiscriminate. ”
At the end of the special, Phil Groves looks to the future of mankind with the audience, and the social responsibility of the film's creators and the forward-looking nature of this film are fully revealed. "Asteroid Hunter is a documentary about possibility", the future is not yet written, anything is possible, and our choices and actions will greatly affect the fate of the planet and humanity. The same is true for responding to the threat of an asteroid impact, and Asteroid Hunter is part of an effort to evoke a consensus among humanity: "Problems don't solve themselves until people notice." It is important that the asteroid threat become a universal consensus so that we can do everything we can to protect our planet. In Phil Groves' view, young audiences, in particular, carry hope for the future, and today's inquisitive teenagers will be the doers of the future with a great mission – "because teenagers or teenagers will be the ones most likely to face these potential problems in the future, and they will be the ones most likely to take on the mission of saving the planet." Yin Yin's message was full of enthusiasm and sent an invitation to all the audience to focus on the future together.
Shot with IMAX certified cameras and using cutting-edge CGI, digital simulation and other technologies, Asteroid Hunter shows the charm of this astronomical wonder in an all-round way, explores its cosmic origin and potential threat to the earth, and witnesses the latest achievements in the field of asteroid defense.
