Duolin Ge: The Visual Wizard Behind 'King of Avalon's' Enchanting Realm"

Dec 7, 2023



Los Angeles, California Dec 6, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - In the fantastical world of 'King of Avalon,' Duolin Ge stands as the master of visual effects, orchestrating a spectacular cinematic experience. As the VFX Supervisor on the official live-action trailer for 'King of Avalon: Orlando Bloom Back in the Game,' Ge led a team of ten talented VFX artists over three months. Their mission: to craft over 40 intricate VFX shots for the gaming giant FUNPLUS, headquartered in Switzerland.

Diving into his role, Ge described the exhilarating challenge of bringing this medieval-themed game to life, a venture that demanded both creative ingenuity and technical mastery. He and his team delivered stunning visual narratives, weaving computer-generated imagery with live-action seamlessly.

Working alongside director Dennis Liu, known for his directorial expertise in 'Raising Dion' and 'American Born Chinese,' Ge found a kindred spirit in visual storytelling. Liu's dynamic action shot designs and consideration for the VFX team's input created an environment where creativity flourished. The synergy between Liu's visionary direction and Ge's expertise in visual effects culminated in a trailer that's both visually arresting and narratively compelling. Liu's full profile can be explored at Dennis Liu - IMDb.

The commercial's most daunting task was replicating a few actors into a legion of warriors, a feat achieved through a blend of green screen technology and the innovative use of Unreal Engine. This creative solution transformed eight actors, including Orlando Bloom, into a teeming medieval battlefield, illustrating the team's adaptability and problem-solving prowess.

Among the project's highlights for Ge was collaborating with Orlando Bloom, an actor he has long admired since his portrayal of Legolas in 'The Lord of the Rings.' This personal milestone, coupled with the opportunity to refine his skills in team management and project control, marked this endeavor as particularly rewarding.

In addition to his significant role in this project, Ge has been instrumental in various other aspects of film production. His personal journey from running K.N. Kreative Studios, an advertising agency in India, to a successful career in film and TV production in the U.S. is a testament to his dedication and skill.

Athletes 'can't take it any more' as Asian Games issues mount

Athletes 'can't take it any more' as Asian Games issues mount

NAGOYA, Japan — The Asian Games in Japan were on Friday facing more accusations of poor organization with a world champion gymnast “totally exhausted,” the public drafted in to rescue stranded athletes and South Korea lodging a complaint about a Japanese warlord. The continent’s premier sporting spectacle opens in Nagoya and Aichi prefecture on Saturday, but the build-up has been soured by several issues. That includes a shortage of rooms for the more than 17,000 athletes and officials — a bigger number than the Olympics. Some teams have also criticized the quality of the accommodation, including beds that are too short. To save money there is no athletes’ village, organizers instead putting competitors in hotels, temporary cabins and on a cruise ship. Organizers say the accommodation is safe, cost-effective and comfortable. Chinese gymnast Zhang Boheng, who won two silver medals at the Paris Olympics and has two world championship titles to his name, said he and some of his teammates were left waiting for six hours after landing on Wednesday. “I’m totally exhausted,” he said in a video published Thursday and shared widely on Chinese social media. “I didn’t expect that after breakfast at 7:00 a.m. the next time I could eat would be close to 7:00 pm,” the 26-year-old said. He said the wait was caused by registration and paperwork, before heading to the cruise ship where 4,000 Games participants will be housed in Nagoya’s port area. But when they arrived at the ship, he said heavy rain prevented them from boarding. “A whole day was basically wasted like this,” added Zhang. “In the end we really couldn’t take it any more so we decided to book rooms at a hotel to rest.” The video has since been taken down but Chinese state media said that other Chinese athletes also faced travel delays upon arrival. Beijing’s consulate in Nagoya contacted Chinese citizens in the area to give the badminton team lifts after issues with a shuttle bus and a shortage of public transport tickets, Xinhua reported. Chinese social media users applauded athletes, including table tennis star Sun Yingsha, for stretching and exercising at the airport. The hashtag “Asian Games absurd” has since been viewed more than 94 million times on Weibo. India’s team had similar delays at the airport. “There was an issue in getting accreditation for athletes at the airport during immigration. There were long queues with a lot of other nations there,” India’s chef de mission and Indian Olympic Association (IOA) treasurer Sahdev Yadav told Agence France-Presse (AFP). “But these things happen and we have got everything sorted. He added: “These are all teething problems and our focus is now on performance.” Warlord controversy South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reported that some of the country’s athletes waited at the airport for more than five hours on Thursday. “We are aware of the situation including reports that athletes have had to wait for hours and we are doing our best to handle it,” a Korean Sport and Olympic Committee (KSOC) official told AFP. Also on Friday, the KSOC said it had filed a complaint with Games organizers for featuring a Japanese warlord at a welcoming ceremony. The event on Tuesday included a person dressed as Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who led Japan’s invasions of Korea in 1592-1598, and the ceremony prompted a backlash in South Korea. Historical issues are sensitive between South Korea and Japan, with Hideyoshi’s invasion a significant episode in Korean history and Korea under Japanese colonial rule from 1910 to 1945. There was no immediate response from the Olympic Council of Asia or the local organizing committee.

Clarkson wants to play for PH anew

FILIPINO-AMERICAN guard Jordan Clarkson of the New York Knicks has expressed a strong desire to represent the Philippines again as Gilas Pilipinas fights for a spot in the 2027 FIBA World Cup in Doha, Qatar. The 34-year-old Clarkson shared his thoughts during the Sept. 5, 2026 issue of GQ Philippines. “Another World Cup is coming up, and I want to be there,” Clarkson said, when sought to share his thoughts about playing for the Philippine team. “There haven’t been so many Filipino Americans in the [NBA] league, and Filipinos, period. So knowing that I get to represent that and kind of change the narrative in any way that I can, that’s what I’m trying to do,” he added. Clarkson last played for Gilas Pilipinas during the 2023 FIBA World Cup, which the Philippines co-hosted with Japan and Indonesia. Clarkson went on to average 26 points (second best in the tournament), 4.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists, helping the Philippines finish at 24th place out of 32 countries in 2023. His finest moment came against China in the classification round as the 6-foot-5 guard erupted for 34 points, including 24 in a third quarter. Playing in front of a packed Smart Araneta Coliseum, Clarkson finished with five threes against the Chinese as Gilas Pilipinas closed the tournament with an emphatic 96-75 win. Clarkson hopes he could do that again for the Philippines, which, just three weeks back, galvanized its FIBA World Cup bid following back-to-back wins over Jordan and Iran in the 2027 Asian Qualifiers in Manila during the fourth window. With two more windows left, the Philippines will try its best to sweep its last four games in the November 2026 and February 2027 windows. The Philippines will enter the November window with an even 4-4 record, just a game behind Iran and Jordan, which share similar 5-3 slates, in Group E standings. Australia carries an immaculate 8-0 record and New Zealand is second with a 6-2 card. The top three teams will earn outright FIBA World Cup slots, while the best fourth-placed squad between Groups E and F will also secure a spot in the Doha tournament.

Dodgers are NL West champs again

Dodgers are NL West champs again

CINCINNATI — The Los Angeles Dodgers clinched their fifth consecutive NL West title and 13th in the past 14 seasons with an 8-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday (Friday in Manila). “It’s a big deal,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “I think that a lot of people think that it’s just a rite of passage (but) it’s not easy. So it’s something that we’re all really proud of, but really understand that’s not the end goal.” The Dodgers (93-60) are in the postseason for the 14th consecutive season, tying the Atlanta Braves’ record from 1991-2005. “It’s step one,” Mookie Betts said, rubbing the bubbly from his eyes. “We’ve got a long way to go.” The on-field celebration was muted following the final out on Thursday, but players let loose in the clubhouse where sparkling wine and beer was sprayed from the floor to the ceiling. “I think it’s one of those things where in baseball you play every day, and guys focus on performing,” Roberts said. “So there’s not a lot of moments to celebrate. So it’s nice to see the guys let loose a little bit.” Despite all of their success, the players believe they still have something to prove. The Dodgers shattered Major League Baseball’s spending record last year with a combined $515 million in payroll, leading to suggestions they have an unfair advantage. “What we’re creating here is special,” Max Muncy said. “It definitely doesn’t get enough credit. Everyone points to the payroll, but we don’t ever talk about how we do things the right way, how we prepare the right way, how we do all those little things. That doesn’t get talked about.” The two-time defending World Series champions are still chasing the NL’s top seed, currently held by the Milwaukee Brewers. Los Angeles has a four-game lead over the Braves (89-64) for the second seed but trails the Brewers (95-58) by two games. “We’re still trying to get one of those top two seeds,” Roberts said. “I think we do a great job of celebrating, but not having it carry over. We have to get on the flight and play the Giants tomorrow.” The Dodgers are looking to become the first team to capture three consecutive World Series championships since the Yankees did it from 1998 to 2000. It’s the Dodgers’ fourth-earliest division clinching. They clinched the NL West on Sept. 10 in 2019, Sept. 13 in 2022 and Sept. 16 in 2023. LA will use that time to try getting healthy. That starts with Shohei Ohtani. The four-time MVP has been on the 15-day injured list since Sept. 8 with right biceps inflammation and told reporters earlier this month he is done pitching for the season. The two-way star took swings off a tee for the first time Tuesday and felt good. He’s expected to return as a hitter before the end of the regular season, although it’s unclear if he can get 100-percent healthy before October. Roki Sasaki, on the IL with a blister on his middle finger, threw live BP on Wednesday in Cincinnati and it went well. Roberts said his next outing will be a start. Blake Snell left Wednesday’s start after one inning with left groin tightness. His status is uncertain. Closer Edwin Diaz, who’s been on the IL since August with neck inflammation, is expected to be activated Friday. Setup man Edgardo Henriquez is on the IL with lower back discomfort. He had an MRI in Los Angeles on Wednesday which revealed a low back strain and his rehab will be paused for a few days. The Dodgers made the biggest splash of the trade deadline when they acquired two-time AL Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal from the Tigers. Skubal is 3-2 with a 2.52 ERA in eight starts for the Dodgers. The addition of Skubal made the Dodgers the odds-on favorites to win the World Series. After going 61-36 to start the season, the Dodgers are 32-24 since the All-Star break. “I spoke to the guys and just really lauded them,” Roberts said. “For the fact, I think that we’re the most talented team, the smartest team, the toughest team, and to enjoy this.”
