Chapter 508 Uncanny Valley

On the big screen, the mummy's resurrection is easier than Charlotte's side.

Evelyn had just finished reciting the spell, and it roared and came to life.

At the same time, signs of disaster appeared immediately

Large swarms of locusts flew from the horizon.

Locust plague was a very terrifying disaster in ancient times.

In modern times, although humans with insecticides are no longer afraid of locust plagues, that is relative to the entire human society.

Specifically, when I see the overwhelming locusts coming like a black tornado, I can't help panic.

In desperation, everyone had to hide in the underground tomb area that had been excavated by them.

However, after leaving the wolf's den, he entered the tiger's den again

A large group of corpse beetles surged out from the ground in the tomb, which made O'Connor, Evelyn and others run around.

And the person who had no time to escape was soon overwhelmed by the corpse beetle

Corpse beetles drill into their skin, then crawl under the skin, and finally pour into their chests, gnaw on their hearts, and crawl out of their mouths...

Those who were submerged by corpse beetles were soon gnawed into mummies that were even more shriveled than mummies.

"This is really terrifying!"

Jaina subconsciously covered her eyes, and combined with her coquettish tone, she looked like a soft girl.

Emily, who is familiar with her nature, sneered at this.

"Is there a man who pursues you here? Who are you acting like this for??"

Emily muttered in her heart,

"Especially, you are still covering your eyes while peeking through your fingers. Are you trying to cheat me??"

Although Emily also knows that there are indeed many girls who pretend to be afraid when watching horror movies, and the more they are afraid, the more they want to watch, they look down on Emily, who has been watching horror movies since childhood, and they look down on such people.

Of course, if she is not afraid at all when watching horror movies, that's also a lie

At least, when she saw a large group of corpse beetles rushing towards the screen, she felt her hair standing up behind her back.

On the big screen, under the pursuit of the corpse beetle, O'Connor and the others separated from Evelyn.

Evelyn accidentally encountered a rotating wall and was transferred to another room.

Here, she saw a cowboy from an American expedition team. His eyes were plucked out by something and his tongue was missing.

This scared Evelyn very much.

Then, something even more scary appeared

The resurrected mummy, whose face was embedded with eyes and tongue snatched from the American cowboy, came out of the shadow.

It turns out that as the curse on the box dug out by the American expedition said, if the mummy wants to be completely resurrected, he must kill all those who open the box and seize part of their bodies in order to become human-shaped.

And the unlucky cowboy was first taken away by her eyes and tongue.

Now, the mummy stared at Evelyn, who was so scared that she couldn't speak with his newly acquired eyes.

"Ansuna!?"

"Is this the mummy mistaken Evelyn for his former lover Ansuna?"

Susan asked nervously, holding Donnie's hand.

"It should be!"

Donny nodded, holding the red-haired lady beside her tightened again.

Although he was filmed with contempt by the other party before, Downey finally succeeded in the horror atmosphere in the movie "Mummy".

Of course, this is just Donnie's opinion.

In Susan's view, this was purely because Donnie was too brave to scream when he saw the scene of a corpse beetle eating people.

In order to avoid being disturbed by his screams, Susan had to hold the hand of the man who seemed to have a little affection for her to comfort him and shut up.

Anyway, Susan would not admit that she was a little scared, and she held Donnie's hand to keep warm.

Even, she was a little curious after receiving psychological support at this time.

"The mummy's expression seems to be a real person. Has the special effects technology developed to this point now?"

As a strong woman in the workplace who works as a filmmaker, Susan has always been very close to the trend of film technology.

Like James Cameron's "Titanic", she studied it no less than five times.

Although she cried red every time she saw it and became a fan of Leonardo DiCaprio, Susan still insisted that she was studying film special effects technology.

Charlotte Booth is also one of the directors who are good at using special effects technology in recent years.

He may not be as grand as James Cameron in the use of special effects, but he is better than delicate and vivid.

Many times, Susan thinks that the special effects in Charlotte's movies are simply real.

This delicate and real shock power cannot be given to her by Cameron's movies.

Therefore, Susan will watch every Charlotte movie as soon as it is released.

As a film producer, although she has not been a leading producer, she is just like Emperor Napoleon said

Soldiers who don’t want to be generals are not good soldiers.

Until now, Susan naturally has the idea of ​​making her own movies, so she continues to track the development of computer special effects.

But now, she was sensitively aware that Charlotte Booth's Ghost Party Studio must have made some technological breakthroughs in real-person motion capture technology.

Therefore, they can create a "mummy" with such a expression that looks so much like a real person, and even expresses obvious emotions.

"But it's even more scary because of this! This is the so-called Uncanny Valley effect!?"

Susan thought about it.

This idea is Susan's misunderstanding

The so-called Unterror Valley Effect is a hypothesis about human feelings about robots and non-human objects.

It was proposed in 1969, which shows that when robots and humans are more similar to each other than a certain extent, humans will suddenly become extremely disgusted with their reactions.

That is, even if there is a slight difference between robots and humans, it will appear very conspicuous and dazzling, so that the entire robot feels very stiff and terrifying, like facing a walking zombie.

In other words, the Uncanny Valley effect is more reflected in puppets, robots and 3D animations that are similar to the images of living people.

Like this mummy on a big screen, its appearance is still very far away from the living person.

The fear it gives is more caused by people's natural fear of death and monsters.

Of course, there is also a mummy expression here that is very real, and the factor that makes the audience add to the drama is not related to the Uncanny Valley effect.

Until 1999, the uncanny valley effect in Hollywood movies was still in the field of 3D animation.

Like the cowboy Woody in Pixar Studios' Toy Story, she touched the boundaries of the Uncanny Valley effect.

In fact, how to avoid the Uncanny Valley effect is also an area that people in Hollywood are working hard to study...
