Chatty Hollywood

"Silk stockings are a good thing. Women can conquer men when worn, and banks can be conquered by men."

Charlotte had heard such a sentence before crossing, and thought it made sense.

He likes this thing very much, especially the way Charlize wears it.

However, girls don’t always match his hobbies...

Of course, today he brought silk stockings to the makeup department, which has nothing to do with his hobbies.

"This really looks like a stocking."

He explained to the confused Annika, Christopher Walken, and stand-in Rob Inge,

"In fact, it is a new technology experiment of the Ghost Party Studio."

"tester?"

It was the photographer Edison Young, who was speaking by Charlotte, who was still holding the camera.

"Charlotte, does it really have the magical effect you described to me?"

"I can't say that."

She said that, but Charlotte’s expression was affirmative.

"The former Alexis who helped us study special effects technology told me about the feasibility of this technology, but we haven't done experiments yet."

"Then experiment now!"

Addison Yang looked excited.

"..."

The few people present were confused by their words, but Charlotte did not explain.

He directly instructed Annika to let her remove the shoulder pads for Rob Inge, who was still dressed as a headless horseman, and then dressed up again, afterwards—

"Put it on!"

Charlotte passed the black stockings to Rob Inge, who finally showed his head.

"...Sure enough, do you still want to rob the bank?"

The young man acting as a stand-in smiled bitterly, but he took the stockings on his head honestly.

"Is it okay?"

"You can't see it this way."

Charlotte greeted Annika and Christopher Walken, and walked to Addison Young who had set up the camera and monitor.

"You have to look through the monitor!"

********

Christopher Walker couldn't understand the director before him.

As an old actor who appeared on Broadway at the age of sixteen and won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for "Deer Hunter" in 1979, Walken has followed many directors.

In his opinion, Charlotte Booth, a young director, is a bit strange.

This is not to say that the other party’s director is not good--

Walken observed secretly and felt that the other party's set scheduling ability was very good, and the entire crew was running in an orderly manner.

Just looking at this point, this does not seem to be a bad director.

What's more, Walken also watched "Fatal Turn" and "Happy Death Day".

Especially the latter, the label of over 100 million at the North American box office is simply the best indication of the director's level.

What Walken finds strange is the way the other party directs the actors——

Johnny Depp was scared and screamed by the beetle crawling out of the "corpse", but he had seen it with his own eyes.

This is the first time he has seen a director who directs actors' acting like this.

——But, it seems that the effect is not bad?

Thinking of Depp's divine help a few days later, Walken felt that this might set a very bad precedent.

"But what is the use of this stocking?"

For Mr. Director, he was struggling with the look of the headless horseman, but Walken was not too surprised.

After all, this is what a director does.

Out of ten directors, four are obsessive-compulsive disorder, five are obsessive-compulsive disorder, and one is obsessive-compulsive disorder.

If the director doesn't entangle at all when a movie is being shot, then the movie will either become a masterpiece, or it will be just shit.

What Walken is curious about is the other party's way of solving the entanglement——

"Since I said that I was seeking technical support, I must have done something with this stocking, right?"

Before seeing the shooting effect, Walken was very curious and full of expectations.

Then--

"WTF!!!"

Even though he was mentally prepared, the scene seen through the monitor used by the director still surprised Walken——

There was no change in the knight's black clothes and black armor, but on the head, Rob Inge's head in black stockings disappeared.

Instead, it was a cloud of black smoke that looked like a burning flame.

"this……"

Walken looked up in disbelief.

——Rob Inge's head with stockings on his head stayed well on his neck.

"how did you do that?"

After decades of mixing in Hollywood, Walken naturally knows how the special effects are made.

The reason why post-production special effects has the prefix "post-production" is that it needs to be processed specially after the shooting is completed.

When will this effect be synchronized during shooting! ?

********

It wasn't just Christopher Walken who was surprised. Neither Annika, who was in charge of makeup, nor photographer Edison Young, did not expect to see such a scene.

Especially Addison Young.

Although the new set of filters that Charlotte gave during the previous shooting was surprising enough.

But that is after all a rendering effect on the overall picture.

For Addison, who is used to filters, this effect is not difficult to understand.

Although he doesn't know how the people who do special effects achieve it, since the filter is passed, it is not much different from the principle of the filter after all.

But now the effect of making people's head disappear is a bit beyond his understanding.

"It uses a principle similar to green screen photography."

Charlotte explained,

"Simply put, it's just a replacement--"

"Just like in green-screen photography, it is the post-production effect that replaces the green part. Here, black smoke is used to replace Rob's head with black stockings."

"I see!"

The photographer thought for a while~www.NovelMTL.com~ randomly shook his head again,

"But even so, it should be replaced later! Why is it now—"

"That's why it's a new technology!"

Charlotte shrugged.

"The set of filters that I gave you before are actually special effects filters made with digital technology. Each of them has a set of unique rendering effects, like fog, black smoke and so on."

"Then those special effects are superimposed with the normal shot through the filter!?"

Addison Young nodded.

This idea is similar to what he had previously guessed. However, Charlotte's words don't seem to explain his problem.

and many more--

Addison Yang took a closer look at the shot.

"The effect of this black smoke is very similar to the effect of one of the filters you gave me before. Does this mean—"

"It's the same special effect!"

Charlotte directly affirmed Addison’s guess.

"The stockings had been soaked with a special paint before-of course, they are non-toxic and harmless."

Seeing Rob Inge, who was still wearing silk stockings, trembled, Charlotte hurriedly explained.

"The light in the non-visible spectrum reflected by this paint is a set judgment mark for our digital filter."

"After encountering it, will the entire area be replaced with the special effect of black smoke?"

"It can be understood that way."

Seeing everyone's suddenly realized expressions, Charlotte smiled secretly in her heart.

——Fooled over.
