The crew of the motion picture “Jupiter Ascending” camps out in the parking lot of Aux Sable Middle School in Joliet. Although actual filming for the science fiction movie starring Mila Kunis and Channing Tatum was performed on a farm in rural Minooka, the crew’s campers and equipment were stored at the Plainfield District 202 school. Instead of paying the school district for use of the property, school district spokesman Thomas Hernandez said the production company donated $5,000 to the Foundation for Excellence, which encourages innovative learning in the district by providing educators with grants and students with scholarships.

Four 720P monochrome cameras running at 60fps track tiny markers on the user’s face.

From the beginning however we’ve be been told that the openness of the head rig infrastructure is good, allowing clear visibility from the actor’s POV and a good view of the actors face by director and crew. This move towards keeping the tech out of the face of the performer, both figuratively and literally, was always a significant design goal.

I think I'll go in dark though, no trailers for me (which will be hard to resist).

Research is a key part of the job, whether it is Kym Barrett talking to Nasa engineers in order to find out how spacesuits work before designing the sci fi film Jupiter Ascending [...]

Wachowski siblings new film "Jupiter Ascending" in Downtown Chicago with IMAX cameras.

Filming hasn't finished yet and the Wachowskis liked Tykwer's way of first recording the score and playing it back on the set for the actors and they even said that's how they are going to do it from now on, so I wonder if this is why Giacchino is scoring it before it has finished.

But he also reveals this fascinating snippet: he’s currently working on the music for Jupiter Ascending.

Hang on? Jupiter Ascending? Surely the latest from the Wachowskis (The Matrix, Cloud Atlas) isn’t out until next summer? Isn’t that a bit keen? Has it even finished filming yet? “We’re actually recording all the music first, before they’re even done shooting,” he explains. “It’s been done sort of backwards, and it’s much more freeing doing that way. I’m not locked down to any specific timings and what the film is doing. I can do whatever I want. It opens up a lot more possibilities.”

IMAX? The cinematographer didn't say anything about IMAX.. I doubt it's true.

A scene for "Jupiter Ascending" shows a helicopter taking off in the intersection of Jackson and Jefferson. A stunt double that looks like Mila Kunis is attached with cables below the helicopter.

I'm actually on the aerial unit for the movie. Apparently from what I've been told this is the largest helicopter shoot in the city's history. They showed us a digital storyboard of the scene before we started filming and it's pretty sweet.

Impressive!

Perhaps best of all, Schneider recently traveled to England to visit the set of “Jupiter Ascending,” a film starring Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis, for which she is crafting jewelry pieces.

"Things blow up, cars blow up, people fly, things are in slo-mo, there's a love story, there's Channing Tatum," she described. "Then there's Channing Tatum shirtless, and then there's Channing Tatum some more..."

"Channing Tatum is shirtless probably 90 percent of the time," costar Tuppence Middleton told me at British Airways' launch party for its new Airbus A380.

"I have a scene where he…glides into the scene and is accusing me of something and he looks pretty angry," Middleton said. "It was a pretty great moment."

So why so much shirtlessness? "If there's any chance of getting Channing Tatum shirtless, then why not?" Middleton said, laughing.

The film tells the story of a universe in which its queen is trying to kill a young woman who is a threat to her reign.

"They're really great people to work with," Middleton said of the Wachowski's. "They're so imaginative and they're risk takers. I think it's a really exciting project. I can't talk too much about it but there are a lot of weird and wonderful characters."

Then there's Jupiter Ascending, the latest from sibling duo, Andy and Lana Wachowski. "They're just the most original people," enthuses Booth. "They've created something very exciting and special and bonkers. It's like a cross between The Matrix and Star Wars." The cast includes Mila Kunis, Channing Tatum, Eddie Redmayne – plus Booth's rumoured girlfriend, Vanessa Kirby.

And then, you went on to work with The Wachowskis on Jupiter Ascending?

BOOTH: Yeah, I know! Things are going so well. I had the best time with The Wachowskis. They were also on the top of my list. They are so talented and they’ve got such originality. They’re so fascinating. I love them, and I adore them as people and as filmmakers. I adored working with them. I cannot repeat enough, how much I loved them and loved working with them. And they love what they do. They just want to play and create and be original. The movie is going to be mad, I warn you. There is nothing I can tell you about it. They keep such security on everything that they do that the script got delivered in a black towncar. But, boy will it be fun.

OMG plc, (AIM: OMG), the technology group providing image understanding products for the entertainment, defence, life science and engineering industries, announces that its motion capture technology specialists arm, Vicon has used its T-Series motion capture cameras on the acclaimed 3D science fiction thriller and space blockbuster, Gravity.

Gravity was directed, co-written, co-produced and co-edited by Alfonso Cuarón. It stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as astronauts who dramatically survive the mid-orbit destruction of a space shuttle and attempt to return to Earth. It was released on 3 October in the US - achieving a record-breaking opening weekend - and 8 November in the UK.

Framestore invested in the T40 cameras and integrated them with Blade – Vicon’s innovative data capture and data processing system – to help create complex and extremely realistic visual effects. ‘The pinpoint accuracy of today’s motion capture cameras have given directors the confidence that they can now deliver on their creative vision,’ said Imogen Moorhouse, CEO, Vicon.

As Mark Hughes said in a Gravity review for Forbes, ‘you’ve never seen anything like the visual experience of this film. It’s akin to the visual effects leaps represented by 2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Wars, and Avatar. So realistic and breath taking, in fact, that you’ll forget you’re watching special effects, and feel as if the movie were actually shot in space.’

‘This was Framestore’s most ambitious project to date and involved working with world class actors. So the motion capture had to be in the same league, with to-the-point accuracy and the best post-processing flexibility. Equally, it was important that the crew were familiar with the technology and it would work exactly as expected. The Vicon cameras enabled outstanding clarity and realism in an unfamiliar environment, making the unknown appear familiar and believable,’ said Ben Guthrie, motion capture supervisor at Framestore.

Commenting on the smash hit film Nick Bolton, OMG plc Chief Executive said:

“It’s great to see the extraordinary results that have been achieved by Framestore using Vicon technology. Framestore should be truly proud of their work on Gravity and we are delighted that they will be using our system on another hotly anticipated sci-fi film, Jupiter Ascending.”
