Roland this is the head rig for the
Gemini man capture these two cameras
would capture my face you're all
expressions but I would have all the
black dots too tracking dots on hold on
if you can see that you can see there's
two cameras right there you I can't see
I can't I can't okay you guys got it
[Music]
we're going into the screening quite
nervous now because you are the very
first audience to see it and I hope
you'll believe in jr. as we call a young
Will Smith I hope you believe it I pray
please and you like this story it was
really cool for me doing this the team
that Wetty was pulling all of the old
footage right so I got to see all of the
tragedies that I committed an
entertainment the twenties sucks so I'm
mad I'm not going anywhere near my
twenties so Jeff had this stuff that I
don't know if I can say this but it's
canned fart spray and we were spraying
it into the fan and watching all the
people right and so it's like it's
almost like you're talking like you'll
be rolling like we're gonna make it look
like it's it all looks like someone
we're your friends
yeah we rollin hi so this is for myself
like thirty years in the future
you should come back to Philly a lot you
know visit people but also you should do
a movie like call Gemini man and you
should like release the trailer so
people can see it so that's my advice
for the future me
that's one of my favorites there you got
that one yeah that's one of my favorites
and that one right there that's a real I
would take this and it's a mold of my
face and then Judy would take this black
marker and go through and touch all the
dots and the dots are tracking dots so
then when I moved they would have the
actual mathematical spacing of the move
so the computer would be able to
regenerate my face and my expressions
through the avatar this is the biggest
movie star and there's a reason why we
work with him instead of all the
millions of actors out there let's say
some names what like what people what
people are you glad it was ringed by the
nineties and this is a really new idea
in how to do the facial capture because
it gave you the option of being able to
do it in the sea in the moment I saw I
would do Henry play to all see now
then you know go to lunch or something
like that are going to get the tracking
dots put this on and then the afters
meet suicides and they have a junior
we have jr. all mapped out can we expect
a new season it really is
nology goes so far as like what
what I'm excited about is now there's a
completely digital 23 year old version
of myself that I can make movies with
now I was like oh man I'm going button
gut on am I'm just getting I'm gonna get
really fat and really all the way I'm
gonna go get that Gemini junior use the
Gemini jr. the biggest problem I've been
saying that will is a much better actor
today than 30 years ago
yeah and kept asking me when I was
playing junior he would pull up oh he
said look at this that's not good I need
you to do that like that people have
memories of that time in my life so here
you're not only trying to just capture
the authenticity of the movement of a
human you're also trying to live up to
people's memory and the images that they
have in in their mind
before this movie for robot design stuff
anytime you get digital character she
never could do it with another factor in
the moment there's always a tennis ball
was something they were going to do it
all later and then you would always lose
performance I was doing this with mocap
cos no cap just me and a tennis ball
because the first shot I saw was
different
like that goes on
[Music]
crazy like 10 years from now there were
there will be
court cases where people are like I
swear to god that's my signature just
it's uh says will from 1986 till
midnight New Year's 1990
I signed fresh prints then from 1992 New
Year's 2000 assigned Will Smith from
midnight y2k until 2010
I signed will and then since 2010 I
added the little swizzle at the bottom
so if people have old autographs from me
I know what decade the autographs came
from 2020 is coming up I'll just be like
there you go there you go that's you
hope we don't get no no I don't know
what it is just there you go
congratulations there's your autograph I
really love the idea that within you lie
the seeds of your worst nightmare we
create our worst enemy we actually are
our worst enemy and the the most
difficult and the most painful and the
greatest difficulties we will ever have
will be from the seeds of ourselves and
I just I just I love that concept I'm
the best
you are obviously not the best
but we just had our first day screening
at a movie some really key scenes and
I'm fasting you don't want to do these
things when you're fasting so it was a
great day
[Music]
