6. The proction cost of avatar, which ranks first in the box office in the world, is as high as US $237 million, of which the special effects cost is as high as US $150 million, equivalent to about RMB 1 billion. A movie only takes about two hours, which is about several hundred thousand times a second. Now think about it, you can understand why the domestic special effects will not do too well, because the money left after inviting the actors is not enough to do special effects

what actually leads to such a high budget for special effects? Usually, the cost of special effects proction is divided into three aspects, including hardware, software and manpower

first of all, the expenditure on hardware usually accounts for about 20%, which is divided into modeling, animation, color matching, rendering, lighting, matting, etc. These are all materials that need to be replaced in advance after green screen matting. For example, the whole new York City in Avengers is modeled, And the whole vengeance team is shooting in the studio. So most of the time, the most time-consuming is not the shooting time, but the proction of these materials. There are only four shots in the film without special effects. You can imagine how much material is needed to proce

therefore, the drawing ability, storage ability and computing ability of the hardware all need very high configuration requirements, otherwise, the rendering time of a material is enough. So basically, professional servers or workstations will be used for rendering, and one or two workstations are useless. In most cases, thousands of workstations and servers will be built to compress the rendering time

is there a hint of miner ~

for example, foreign special effects leaders: Instrial shadow and digital kingdom will specially build such rendering bases, so normally, the hardware part of the special effects proction foundation can't be satisfied without tens of millions of dollars

it's better to understand the software. For special effects, you need to install all kinds of righted software, such as Maya, nuke, mocha and other professional software. These software are generally packaged every year. A computer costs more than 1000 dollars a year, and it's a big expense to install each one. Sometimes we need to develop our own plug-ins to meet the needs, such as many machine learning technologies to transform character modeling, or some special renderers

but the biggest expense is the cost of human resources. Usually, the special effects team of a special effects blockbuster is about a thousand people, and it doesn't include some outsourcing projects. A team like this has to spend more than $60 million a year on its basic salary, and it usually takes about two years to proce, Like "Avatar II" this pigeon for several years, perhaps the cost of labor alone are hundreds of millions of start

and the salaries of top special effects engineers are generally high. That's because it's very difficult to do special effects. You usually need to learn more than a dozen software operations, and most of them are plug-in templates or tutorials in English. There are few opportunities to learn in China, so it's still difficult to proce some excellent special effects engineers.
