李安台灣造黑洞 《少年Pi》吸光人才

李安台灣造黑洞 《少年Pi》吸光人才
導演李安的新片《少年Pi的奇幻漂流》在台中拍攝，工作人員超過300人，造成其他電影人才荒，據悉，目前台灣約６成以上的電影專業人員都被《少年Pi》延攬，正在拍《戀愛恐慌症》的總監林秉聿說，招募工作人員很困難，《少年Pi》像大黑洞將人才都吸光光，「台灣好的電影人才原本就欠缺，這時候找人更困難。」

大片開拍造成其他電影發生「人才荒」已非首次，《雞排英雄》將拍攝檔期訂在《賽德克巴萊》殺青後，《痞子英雄首部曲：全面開戰》也在《賽德克》拍完後接手工作人員。

據悉，李安和美商福斯對工作人員審查嚴格，從攝影師、美術、場務到助理都要提出曾參與哪些電影，去蕪存菁找出最頂尖的。其中，美術人員多達40人，其他小片連４個都湊不齊。

電影拍攝場景也壓縮，《少年Pi》以台中水湳機場做基地，其他電影要拍攝機場，只能苦等檔期或改其他打算。林秉聿說：「合拍劇帶動國片復甦是好現象，但台灣對於電影專業人才的培養訓練，政府協助電影場地的租借，都要再加把勁。」

poor Taiwan.....

please be careful the maya mentalray node call "mia_exposure_simple"

Base on eat3D training setting mia_exposure_simple

set Knee: 1.0/ Compression: 0/ Gamma: 2.2

it works exactly like nuke's LUT function, good for render out some color pass such (beauty/ diff/ spec/ refl/ refr/ sss/ oc...etc), if you output format is gamma 2.2(sRGB)'s Tiff/ TGA..etc, you will need to leave "mia_exposure_simple" on and set gamma 2.2 to render. But if output format is EXR in linear color space, you might set "mia_exposure_simple" gamma to 1.0

Well! personal feel you will need to break mia_exposure_simple from maya camera, since this node does some strange result on RGB color matte (darker color)/ Point in space render (points become all flat, no depth) what I discover recently.....

and the Final, Great thanks Stu / Zap and Kuan Lin..... who inspire me all the linear workflow
