Release issuance company: Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.

The skater draws the electricity driving brought by E-POWER in light painting, Denki art developers explain the shooting techniques / Professional skater Sejiri "Feel the realistic Denki run without synthesis!" Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. ( Headquarters: Nishi-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, "ELEC-TRICK CHALLENGE (ELEC-TRICK CHALLENGE), which uses skater to use a specially developed skateboard to express the electricity running of" Nissan Kicks E-POWER "in graphics. The project movie was released on Wednesday, September 30. In this movie, Japan's world -class skater, Ryo Sijiri, and Japanese skaters, such as Ryo Sejiri, who have won five times in the world tournament, have kicks with a technique called "Light Painting". I tried to express the world view. The "ELEC-TRICK CHALLENGE" project is to apply a digital art technique called Light Painting to express the exciting driving of electricity by the technical director group BassDrum, which is planning and directing. I developed a board. In addition, the light issued by this skateboard was taken with a shooting technique called exposure shooting for a long time, and tried to draw any image. In addition, skaters such as Ryo Sijiri and other skaters are "ELEC-TRICK" TRICK, which represents electricity, with a skateboarding technique, and by interacting with dynamic and cut riding and light painting. I tried to express the powerful driving and dynamism of the electricity of Nissan Kick E-POWER. Nissan will deliver the excitement brought by "Nissan Kick E-POWER" through this movie. "Nissan Kick E-POWER" is the first Nissan to run with "E-POWER" for the first time as Nissan with the power of electricity with "E-POWER" for the first time as Nissan. At the moment of stepping on the accelerator, it features an electricity running unique to "e-POWER". As a result, customers who are usually interested in cars can be interested in "Nissan Kicks E-POWER" through skateboarding. "ELEC-TRICK CHALLENGE" Project Movie URL: https: // YouTu.BE/87-AWXGSV60 The skateboard trick trick, which is expressed in "ELEC-TRICK CHALLENGE", contains high difficulty techniques, such as "Orli" and "Backside Cag Lind", which says that it was difficult. We had all 12 types of challenges. Professionalboard Board player: Legs of Ryo Sejiri He participated in domestic and overseas competitions centered on Asia from an early age, and won the youngest AJSA Grand Champion at the age of 11. He has been a grand champion for the third consecutive year from 2010 to 2012. In 2013, he won the first Japanese championship in the World Cup at the age of 17. He has since expanded his challenge to the world, and has become the world's "RYO". He is one of the skaters that greatly change the image of the skateboard. When I first heard the content of the project, I couldn't imagine it, what kind of shooting would it be, is it possible in the first place? As a result, every time I tested on a skateboard with an LED, it was a challenge that was so difficult that I could find new tasks, but every time I cleared the production team and the task, I became more likely to succeed in this project. I went. The actual shooting was very fun, and there were various troubles such as broken LEDs on the way, but it was like overcoming one by one at the site. When it was over, there was a great sense of accomplishment! Also, in continuing the competition, I always get stimulated by sliding with my friends, but it was also exciting and good that I was able to challenge with my skating friends again. Do you feel like you're slipping while being expensive. At the moment the LED shines, I trick it in the photo, but if the timing is shifted even a little or the angle of the board is different, the letters are not beautiful, so I try again and again. I had a lot of trouble. The difficulty of the technique is the most difficult trick of the rail "K Grind" in the video, so please take a look at it. Even though it is a lighter LED, normal 1.I was doing a deck that was 5 to 2 times heavier, so it was difficult to put it on the rails with a pinpoint. The reason why the difficulty is increasing due to the weight of the deck is something that can be said in common to all tricks. In addition, the LED lines and letters in the video and the photos are emitted from the LED line actually on skating, so it would be nice if you could see the real Denki running without synthesis! I actually tried riding a kick, but first I was surprised at the sound of the engine! Driving from the beginning was very easy to drive, and I thought Denki's power was amazing! The space inside the car is enough, so it's good to go out with your family or go skating with your friends. I would be glad if you could watch this video and get a little interest! BassDrum engineer/technical director: Ryusuke Izumida Interview After graduating from university, he has developed a firmware such as optical driving and game controllers. He turned into an advertising work in 2013 and belonged to Sonic Jam Co., Ltd., Birdman Co., Ltd. He is in charge of experience -based content software / hardware production and technical direction. He has been independent in 2018 and has been active in the name of "Manufacture" and participated in the technical director collector "BassDrum". In addition to advertising production, he also provides prototyping / development of hardware products for company new business projects and startup companies. In the past, I have been involved in various difficult shooting, but this was a difficult and difficult project. About 1 second of skateboarding tricks. In order to display graffiti in a short time, the device requires high accuracy, and the skateboard shock is far beyond imagination for precision devices, and it is a real challenge. I felt intuitive. It took a specially developed skateboard for about four months, and started with a total of 5 versions of the early prototype with an LED attached to a wooden stick. The realization of a high -speed drawing that can follow the speed of the trick and the development of a control box that can withstand the impact of landing has been completed while crushing unknown elements one by one. First of all, I first considered three major processes to draw graffiti in a skateboard trajectory with three processes led to realize this challenge. 1.Trick 3D data 2.Create a pattern that shines LED 3.Actually shine a skateboard deck with LED and shoot with exposure for a long time.A combination of the SLAM sensor attached to the trick 3D data test skateboard deck (the combination of the image processing and the acceleration sensor can be estimated by the acceleration sensor) and the 3D space recognized sensor that is also used for automatic driving of a car called LIDAR.I did it.Originally, I used motion capture, but I found that the time and the cost were too high because the speed of the shooting, vast shooting spaces, and tricks were fast outdoors.In addition, since the rider's condition changes on site, tricks are converted to 3D data with real -time sensing technology.2.If you just want to drop the pattern creation deck that shines the LED, there is no problem if you display the logo data with LED.However, in order to make the graffiti look right in the tricks with three -dimensional rotation and the camera angle, it is necessary to shine in advance the distorted data with LEDs.For that purpose, I used project mapping technology.By projection mapping so that the graffiti is positive only to the camera angle for the "trajectory surface" of the 3D data converted, and dare to depict the distorted data with LED, it is beautifully characterized when it becomes a photo.I can read.3.The deck with an LED, which is the liver of this project that actually shines a skateboard deck with an LED and shoots with a long exposure, is called Versararita, displaying a pattern that matches the video on the LED strip and it is used. It is a technology that reflects a statue in the space by shooting with exposure for a long time. This is a general technology that has been commercialized, but the challenge point was that it had to be displayed at high speed at the moment of tricking this time. Flashing the LED at high speed directly leads to the resolution of the graffiti. As a result, it is displayed at 2/1000 seconds. The shooting technology is not a simple long exposure shooting. Normally, when taking a picture, the shutter is released in about 1/100 seconds, but this time the shutter of the entire trick (15-30 seconds) continues to open the shutter of the entire trick to leave the LED trajectory. You can shoot the trajectory by reducing the amount of light that the lens is with a special ND filter. However, since the person is not reflected as it is, the large light strobe is emitted at the right time, so that the pose is the most beautiful. The light of the LED deck, the rider and car lighting, and all the light balance are well adjusted. The most difficult point is that in order to display the graffiti of "a direction that can be graffiti by tricking, and an angle that can make the car look beautiful." The flight time is about 1 second. It was impossible to find the "trajectory side" with the naked eye. I was able to find all kinds of techniques by Seshiri, and finally discover that aspect by converting the huge movement of the technique. Visit the "trajectory side" and the angle that looks beautiful in the car and verify it many times in the photographer and the shooting location. By repeated trial and error in the 3D data space, I finally got into shooting. In actual shooting, tricks at the "perfect" timing are essential. The technique I asked for this time was a trick that is very difficult and different from usual, using an LED deck with a very difficult technique. In order to display the graffiti beautifully, it was not enough to not fail, and it was essential to succeed in the skill at a "perfect" timing. For this reason, we had many difficult techniques, and when the graffiti was finally displayed, all staff cheered. Boldly challenged this challenge, "Please pay attention to the serious eyes of the riders and staff!" In addition to adjusting the light, the functions that can be read immediately after recording multiple LED patterns in multiple external media, remote remote. It was taken using the functions for the site that can not be reflected in the image, such as a function that can cue the image by operation, the function that can adjust the brightness and display speed in detail. I would be grateful if you could think about that background. Also, be sure to pay attention to the serious eyes of riders and staff who boldly try to shoot recklessly in a complex site where various elements are combined, such as technology professionals and shooting professionals. ! By combining a skateboard equipped with the technical electricity (LED) of a unique skateboard (LED) developed this time, a newly developed Denki art drawn by light painting has been developed. ● We have created a skateboard equipped with LEDs around the skateboard deck, and developed a program that controls the surrounding vibration. We are programming that the way of flashing changes according to the trick. The long -term exposure shooting succeeded in the trajectory of light drawn by tricks. ● Shooting techniques Long time exposure shooting (shutter opened) The technique was conducted. In that state, the skater slipped on the shining board, and the flash changed at the moment of deciding the trick, and the trajectory emerged. By burning a flash, you can shoot images that are reflected in the person and body. "E-POWER" is the name of Nissan's unique electric powertrain that combines gasoline engine and motor.
