Benjamin Button Head Technology

Did you know that old Benjamin's head was all visual effect? You don't? Then you need to see this.

In the making of the Benjamin's head, the visual effect crew solved problems and improved using scientific method.

1. Purpose: How can we make a computer generated head look like a real head?

2. Hypothesis: This is what they came up with, they figured, if they used motion capture, they would get a face of Benjamin.

3. Materials: They gathered historys of visual effect industry, and they used the secret 'stew' they developed, etc. (Too much to write.)

4. Procedures: They basically find out the history of visual effect and search for new ways of making a fake head look real. Then they follow what I worte in the hypothesis, but with extra stuff like testing out the lighting environments, etc.

5. Observation: They tested the fake head and tested to see if this is enough to green light the movie.

6. Analyze: They figured the poly was too low, and they had to make a new hypothesis. But they now know that the more poly count there are, the better the head looks.

7. Conclusion: They sucessfully made a computer generated head with Brad Pitt controlling it on his free will, they basically made a new technology of visual effect industry.
