Tedsday - Ed Ulbrich: How Benjamin Button got his face

Ed Ulbrich, the digital-effects guru from Digital Domain, explains the Oscar-winning technology that allowed his team to digitally create the older versions of Brad Pitt's face for "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button."
At Digital Domain, Ed Ulbrich works at the leading edge of computer-generated visuals. On a recent project, filmmakers, artists, and technologists have been working at a breakthrough point where reality and digitally created worlds collide. Full bio »


"The difference offered by [this] technology is in the detail. Standard motion-capture systems are generally limited in resolution to several hundred points on a human face, while this system can recreate facial images at a resolution of 200,000 pixels. The digital video images produced by the system are startlingly realistic."
