Brad Pitt.

Brad Pitt is an actor.

What's up, Abe? Hey, Brad.

Hi, my name is Brad Ellis.

We worked from dental molds of Brad.

And because the life cast, or the bust the maquette of Benjamin was made from Brad, we could transpose the data of Brad at 44 onto Brad at 87.

Now, this was made from a life cast of Brad.

This is Brad doing one of the Ekman FACS poses.

My first demon was to be Brad White from Dallas.

Brad, who is it? Mind your business, you fucking bitch!

And for us to understand what happens with them, we're going to follow Brad.

Some lucky ones and among them, Brad go to serious rehabilitation centers after that.

My friend Brad Kessler says that we didn't become human until we started keeping goats.

Now, there's no use of prosthetic makeup or photography of Brad superimposed over another actor's body.

So, effectively we created a digital puppet that Brad Pitt could operate with his own face.

We needed to make Brad look a lot older needed to age him 45 years or so.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, where Brad Pitt plays a guy who's living his life backwards.

So, effectively, we ended up with a 3D database of everything Brad Pitt's face is capable of doing.

Most people that are following the story of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will know where Namibia is.

Draws multicolored worms that crawl around the screen. Written by Brad Taylor, Dave Lemke, Boris Putanec, and Henrik Theiling 1991.

Brad Pitt What if I told you that I wasn't getting older ... but I was getting younger than everybody else?

On a frame by frame basis, we could actually reconstruct a 3D head that exactly matched the performance of Brad.

And these raised and energy efficient homes were developed by Brad Pitt and Make It Right for the hard hit Ninth Ward.

So now, we had a 3D database of everything Brad Pitt's face can do at age 87, in his 70s and in his 60s.

And the Aha! was, what if we could take Brad Pitt, and we could put Brad in this device, and use this Contour process, and we could stipple on this phosphorescent makeup and put him under the black lights, and we could, in fact, scan him in real time performing Ekman's FACS poses.

I certainly want to see it, right, but don't expect Emmerich to cast Brad Pitt in his next movie digging latrines in Tanzania or something.

We shot him with four HD cameras so we'd get multiple views of him and then David would choose the take of Brad being Benjamin that he thought best matched the footage with the rest of the cast.

And so we edited the footage that was shot on location with the rest of the cast and the body actors and about six months later we brought Brad onto a sound stage in Los Angeles and he watched on the screen.

And then, the sauce I talked about with our technology stew that secret sauce was, effectively, software that allowed us to match the performance footage of Brad in live action with our database of aged Benjamin, the FACS shapes that we had.

Many of you, maybe you've seen it or you've heard of the story, but what you might not know is that for nearly the first hour of the film, the main character, Benjamin Button, who's played by Brad Pitt, is completely computer generated from the neck up.
