Chatty Hollywood

Normally, the scene under the high-speed photography lens is always amazing.

It's like piercing through a board with a bullet. In the eyes of normal people, it may be only a brief moment, but under high-speed photography, there will be wood chips splashing, and the penetrating board will fluctuate like water ripples.

If this kind of picture is well designed, it will be very beautiful.

This is also the reason why high-speed photography lenses are used more and more in movies later.

However, sometimes relying on high-speed photography alone is not enough, just like the problem Charlotte and the others are facing now-

If it is a real fight, and the fist hits the flesh, in the shots taken by high-speed photography, there will naturally be a picture of the muscles and skin fluctuations at the location of the hit.

But the problem is, there is no real fight in the movie!

Especially for action shots, if it is really hit, how many people get hits on the vital parts?

——Unlike kung fu movies, it’s okay to play for half a day. In reality, people who are attacked on vital parts often lose their ability to act in an instant.

Therefore, from a safety point of view, it is impossible to actually shoot when making a movie.

Even if the actors are willing to bear it, the actors' union will not agree.

As a result, how to deal with the blow, the muscle feedback on the victim's body, has become a problem.

——High-speed photography makes it impossible to hide the fake action that was originally used to deceive the audience's eyes.

Of course, relying on computer special effects technology for post-processing, in simple terms, is not impossible to retouch the picture, but in this way, the cost of several high-speed photography lenses will rise sharply.

Therefore, after holding the assistant director Lao Gun, the photographer Addison Young and the action director researching for a while, Charlotte decided to adopt a workaround——

Normal action shots, continue to use high-speed cameras to shoot actual actions, but when you encounter the body's impact feedback shots, use the prosthesis.

——To put it simply, let the prop artist make some special mannequins for shooting feedback shots.

In other words, let the actors fight fakes.

This is not a problem.

As early as when shooting "Drop Head", Charlotte had gathered several prop artists who were very good at making mannequins.

The heads they made are difficult to distinguish from the true and false. The heads that were chopped off in "Decapitated Valley" used these models, and there was no sign of piercing.

Even when Depp came to the crew to shoot, the props team jokingly made him his own skull model, which looked exactly the same, which scared Depp enough...

Therefore, it is not difficult for them to make mannequins of the actor who was beaten now.

Especially, considering the shots taken, in many cases it is not necessary to take the whole body of the actor. The production of this local position model is even easier.

On the contrary, it is a material problem of the model, which requires more experimentation.

After all, if you want to look like you are actually hitting a human body, the feedback effect of the model needs to be very realistic.

Although silica gel and other things are common human body fillers, after making the model, whether the impact effect is ideal or not requires some research.

Fortunately, the workload this time is really not big—

After several trials, the props team determined the materials needed to make the model.

In fact, the materials they selected have more exaggerated hitting effects than real human bodies, but the film is originally an art of deception and exaggeration. As long as the performance is good, in Charlotte's eyes, this is not a problem.

After confirming the action design plan, Charlotte first took several shots with a high-speed camera and an ordinary camera to capture the desired effect.

Later, from this shot, I specifically found out some fragments that require real muscle feedback, and looked for a prop group to make a special partial prosthesis.

Finally, it’s the part where the actor hits the prosthesis.

"It feels so strange!"

After hitting the muscle prosthesis several times in accordance with Charlotte's request, Robert Downey Jr. couldn't help but vomit.

"Does this really produce the desired effect?"

"You'll know if you look at it for yourself!"

Charlotte beckoned to several curious actors, including Downey and Jude Law, and motioned them to look at the monitor.

This is quite flattering to a few people.

No way, according to Hollywood's default habit, directors generally don't show the finished film to the actors.

This is mainly to avoid disputes-

After all, if the director thinks that the shot is good, the actor thinks that he didn't show his acting skills, or he took pictures of himself ugly, what should he do?

Normally, you should listen to the director. But the actors will inevitably have complaints, which is not conducive to the work behind the crew.

Therefore, until now, most directors will not show the actors the shots if they are not necessary.

This is not only to avoid disputes, but also a manifestation of the director's authority.

Of course, the exception is not without—

If the actor is also a high-ranking producer and the whole movie is built around him, he can naturally see the finished shot.

Even facing the camera, pointing to the director.

In essence, this is actually a question of who has more power in the crew.

For example, when Charlize was filming "The Devil" before, she worked as a producer and naturally made a lot of intervention in the film she used to hit the Oscars.

And she is actually pretty good--

In the "Mission Impossible" series led by Tom Cruise ~www.NovelMTL.com~, because of his disagreement with the director, it was not once or twice that he finally squeezed the director away.

Even a well-known director like David Fincher can't suppress Tom Cruise, who holds the power of production...

*******

In short, if it is not forced, directors will not easily show their actors a good film.

So, now Charlotte says that Donnie and the others will be flattered by letting Downey take a look at the edited footage through high-speed photography.

——You must know that a director of Charlotte's status can completely shoot whatever they want regardless of their doubts.

Now that the other party is willing to show them the finished film, it can naturally be said to be a very friendly expression.

Of course, they also understand that it is one thing that Charlotte is willing to show them good clips, and whether they can comment at will is another matter.

In particular, Charlotte's various brilliant performances during the previous shooting, and the methodical set scheduling ability, have already shocked several people.

Anyway, both Downey and Jude Law made up their minds before watching--

It must be said that the shot is good! !

Even if you feel that the shooting is not good, it is also your own aesthetic problem. You have to improve yourself in the subsequent shooting process, not to say anything else...

Although this kind of thinking is suspected of flattering, but considering Charlotte's past sturdy record, Downey and the others don't think there is anything wrong.

After all, awesome thigh pendants are not so good...

However, when they really saw Charlotte's film, they couldn't help but be shocked——
