發展數碼娛樂 強化已有優勢
近期電影《變形金剛》成為票房大熱,片中栩栩如生的機械人令人驚嘆,可見荷里活動畫技術水平之高。
隨着電腦動畫和網絡遊戲的發展日趨成熟,數碼娛樂業可說是創意產業中的火車頭。全球十大最賣座電影均大量運用電腦技術製作特效,其中一齣更是電腦製作的動畫電影,可見電腦動畫技術與電影已密不可分。根據羅兵咸永道的估計,亞太區的數碼娛樂業將會是全球增長最快的地區。電影業市場將會由2006年的16.7億美元增長至2011年的 23.1億美元,年增長率4.6%。而電腦遊戲市場的增長則更快,估計將由2006年11.7億美元增至2011年的18.8億,年增長率高達10%。
面對這波趨勢,香港業界又能否好好把握?其實,數碼娛樂業在港已打好了基礎。香港企業早已有為片商進行電腦特效等後期製作工序,如《功夫》、《少林足球》,甚至最近上映的《史力加3》亦有香港人參與製作。此外,有香港公司已更進一步,自行製作電腦動畫影片。如在今年三月全球上映的《忍者龜》就是由香港企業一手包辦製作,更與荷里活發行商合作,於全球取得佳績。
在香港發展數碼娛樂有多個優勢,其中最重要的是在人力資源方面。業界人士表示香港電腦動畫師的入職薪金雖已算不俗,但相比美國的動畫師仍有一大段距離。業界因此能利用香港相對便宜的人力資源,以低成本製作高水平的電腦動畫,而上述作品亦證明「香港製造」的產品絕非將貨就價。
此外,由於香港人受中西文化薰陶,在製作動畫時較能掌握導演的要求,作品較能切合外國市場的口味。對比起同樣專注外包工序的地區如印度及內地,香港獨特的文化背景,在面向中國及國際市場時享有充份優勢。
可是,面對這項新興工業,香港又應如何發展,強化已有的優勢,奠定區域龍頭地位?
其中一項要做的是鼓勵學生利用電腦技術發揮創意。現時本港的資訊科技教育並未有加入有關電腦設計的元素。以中學課程的電腦及資訊科技課程為例,當中有關電腦動畫及設計的部分就「得個講字」,同學只知電腦能製作動畫,但欠缺實踐機會。另一方面,由於欠缺支援和培訓,美術、設計等科目的老師也很難將資訊科技融入課程,令同學未能利用嶄新的資訊科技學習製作電腦動畫。
當局應加強投放資源,於中學課程加插教授電腦動畫設計的單元,讓同學於中學階段已能開始接觸電腦設計,培養學習興趣。課程形式應技術及創意並重,在教授同學電腦設計技術之餘亦應包含設計的成分。畢竟同學們那天馬行空的想像力才是重點,電腦設計技術只是協助同學實踐意念的工具。此舉將有助同學發展自己的興趣,並為數碼娛樂業培訓人才。
另外,雖然現時本地已有龍頭企業能直接與荷里活建立合作關係,但業界內仍有眾多中小企處於起步階段。當局亦應協助業界與外國頂尖公司合作,在吸收外國的技術水平外,也能發揮香港人那「中西合璧」的文化根底,協助他們製作打入內地市場的電影,以收雙贏之效。
「將科技融入生活」,這是未來數碼都會的目標和方向。數碼娛樂已將電腦技術和藝術創意結合起來,既然香港擁有充分優勢,我們何不把握機會,鼓勵下一代掌握電腦設計的技術,讓他們的創意能散播至全世界?
