Post-shadow Development Plan

After all, their movies no longer have the advantage of IMAX full-frame, and sound effects are the only thing they can do.

But in fact, there are not many movies that can make full use of the IMAX 12.0 channel, and even fewer can fully utilize the 12.0 channel performance.

There is a complete set of 12.0-channel equipment in Weta Studio.

This is a good thing, but the problem is that there is only one set.

And now Weta Studios has two films to deal with...

So Qiye and Cameron, the year-end friends, had a conflict for the first time.

Both parties hope to use this equipment for their films so that the production can be completed as soon as possible.

For this reason, Weta Studio said that there is only one set of equipment anyway, and you two big brothers can coordinate it by yourself.

But obviously, both Qiye and Cameron are stubborn people.

Backing down is usually possible, but if it happens in one's own movie, don't even think about it.

Qiye regretted it a bit. She should not have put all her energy on editing the screen before, regardless of the sound track.

In fact, it is not impossible to make the normal version of the sound effect first, and then change it to the 12.0-channel version, but in this way, it is very likely that the 12.0-channel version of the sound effect will be wrong.

If there is a mistake in the audio track and then go back and modify it, it will undoubtedly increase the workload.

In the end, Qiye and Cameron discussed for a long time, and finally came up with a compromise.

The crews of both parties first extracted and segmented the sound files of the normal audio track.

Separately make these sound effects into left channel, right channel, and surround sound mixing files, and then store these sound files together with their corresponding picture categories.

In this way, when you use 12.0-channel system equipment, you only need to find out the picture and related sound effect files separately.

Then, post-production will be carried out, and the sound and picture will be synthesized.

This method has many advantages. Although it will increase a lot of preparatory work, the time for using 12.0 equipment is greatly shortened.

As long as the respective use time is allocated reasonably, there will be no fights between the crews of the two sides in the equipment room.

At the same time, doing so can also allow the movie screen and sound effects to be produced simultaneously, and if problems are found during the process, individual shots can also be modified.

But it is a seamless plan, both Qiye and Cameron are very satisfied.

It's just that Fox representatives are even more dissatisfied with Cameron.

As time goes by, the time is getting closer and closer to the Oscars.

Towards the end of January, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which sponsors the North American Academy Awards, held a luncheon for nominees at the Beverly Hills Hilton.

Naturally, this luncheon is not just for those old men to sit together and have a meal. Its real purpose is to announce the nomination list of the 81st Oscar.

Because of working in New Zealand, Qiye did not attend the Oscar nominees luncheon.

It's just a nomination, and it doesn't require him to fly to Los Angeles.

This awards season, Jiufeng Entertainment has applied for Oscars with a total of 2 films, namely [Er Que Studio]'s "Purgatory Flames" and Marvel's "Captain America".

However, Marvel itself knows that the possibility of "Captain America" ​​winning the award is not even zero.

So apart from declaring a Best Visual Effects Award, there are no other awards.

The focus of Jiufeng Entertainment's publicity and public relations is naturally Qiye's "Purgatory Flame".

I definitely don't want performance awards, but with the super high box office and popularity, it is always possible to win two technical awards.

One must know that Jiufeng has been in Hollywood for so long, and he hasn't even won an Oscar.

No matter how much you don't care about the number of awards, it's too ugly to always be duck eggs.

Moreover, the dark theme of "Flames of Purgatory" can more or less satisfy the appetite of academic old men.

At least compared to Qiye's previous films, the chances of winning awards are naturally much higher.

Although the United States and New Zealand are separated by the Pacific Ocean, with modern network communication so developed, it is not difficult to deliver news at all.

Before it was time for dinner, Qiye received a message from the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel.

The list of nominees for the 81st Academy Awards has been announced, and the expected upset did not appear.

The film "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", which imitates the narrative structure of "Forrest Gump", and "Slumdog Millionaire", which is from the UK but adapted from an Indian novel, have become the darlings of this year's Oscars.

As for "The Flames of Purgatory" filmed by Qiye, the nomination results are not bad.

It has eight nominations for Best Makeup, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Effects, Best Visual Effects, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Editing and Best Original Screenplay.

There seem to be a lot of nominations, but most of them are minor awards, and the most valuable nomination is the best original screenplay.

But when Qiye got the nomination list, his first reaction was that Oscar and those old men were going to make trouble.

Because if someone compares the entire list, most of the nominations for "Flame of Purgatory" and "The Dark Knight" overlap.

The only difference is that "The Dark Knight" was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, while "Flames of Purgatory" was nominated for Best Original Screenplay.

Such a coincidental situation, if you say that those old men didn't do it on purpose, Qiye doesn't believe it at all!

Qiye could even guess what those old men were thinking.
