Exploration of Technical Motivation and Aesthetic Pursuit of Virtual Film Production

Abstract

As a revolutionary technology in the field of film production, virtual film production has gradually changed the way of film production and aesthetic pursuit with the wide application of digital virtual images since the 1990s. This paper deeply discusses the technical motivation of virtual production, including the integrated application of digital technology, the innovation of the production process, and the creation of a real-time visual environment. At the same time, this paper also analyzes the dual dimensions of the aesthetic pursuit of virtual production — creating visual wonders and pursuing image authenticity. In specific cases such as Avatar and Mandalorian, the profound influence of virtual production on the development of the film industry is revealed, and the embodiment of digital technology aesthetics in virtual production is discussed, as well as its contribution to the ontology of film, the expansion of theme and the exploration of time and space.
