Theory and Practice of"Digital Control Automation"Film Industry:From Arnold Gehlen's Industrial View to the Industrial Practice of"Film Digital Control Automation Robotic Arm"
Current research on China's film industry suffers from ambiguous boundaries and rarely addresses automation,which has been a key industrial indicator since the Industrial Revolution.Exploring"digital control automation"in the era of digital intelligence and algorithms offers a valuable complement to film in-dustry studies.Film digital control automation is grounded in both historical practices and philosophical theo-ries,fulfilling or responding to Arnold Gehlen's call for the"ideal form of industry"-compensating for hu-man shortcomings,reducing burdens,and enhancing certainty.Among the various manifestations of film dig-ital control automation,the robotic arm stands out as the most tangible and visually observable industrial ma-chine.Using it as a reference,we can gain insight into the historical evolution of film digital control automa-tion and its underlying"compensation"logic.In practice,the robotic arm in film production continuously engages in"system subversion"and"system reconstruction,"enabling continuous shooting across heteroge-neous spaces,synthetic shooting of real and virtual elements,advanced pre-visualization for industrial film-making,accelerated production cycles,and iterative filming processes.It has become an extension of human imagination,an interface between reality and virtuality,and a controllable"prosthetic limb."
