Post-shadow Development Plan

Because of the need to change the shooting technology halfway, Qiye's shooting progress was slightly slowed down.

Because he has to wait for the latest negotiation results between Jiufeng and Weta Studio before he can make detailed arrangements for the subsequent shooting plan.

Of course, this does not mean that the entire shooting will stop here. The shots using motion capture technology are still a minority in the entire "Goblin Slayer" movie.

Seven nights advanced the shooting plan for some shots where the motion capture CGI characters did not appear, so as not to delay the overall shooting progress due to the replacement of technology.

Mount Ruapehu, an active volcano located at the southern end of the Taupo Volcanic Belt in New Zealand, is not only the largest active volcano in New Zealand, but also one of the most active volcanoes in the world.

There are many hot springs and geysers near this volcano, which is a winter resort and tourist resort.

However, Qiye brought the crew here not for vacation, but to shoot exterior shots.

Mount Ruapehu is not only a tourist attraction, it is also the filming location of the doomsday volcano Mordor and Imyn Moore in "Lord of the Rings".

"Why do I feel like we're following the line of movement of the "Lord of the Rings" crew?"

Qiye directly gave him an affirmative answer to ZUN's question.

"Of course it's not an illusion. I just followed in Peter Jackson's footsteps. After all, New Zealand is such a big place. Back then, Peter and the others traveled the entire country of New Zealand in order to make a good movie. He chose New Zealand as the shooting location. The best place, I just follow him."

"Huh, is that so."

Seeing Qiye's smug smile, ZUN snorted coldly.

"Okay, hurry up and get ready. We're about to start."

"The Lord of the Rings" is filmed all over New Zealand, and there is a reason why Seven Nights chose Mount Ruapehu as the location of so many locations.

The mountainous area here has a variety of landforms, and basically most of the wilderness scenes in the Seven Nights script can find corresponding seats.

Now, what Nanaya is shooting is the first time the protagonist Goblin Slayer and his party go camping at night.

The four protagonists Gavin, Rin, Luvia, and Xilinko sat around the fire, and their east side was surrounded by a green screen - that area was the part that needed to add woods in the later period of Seven Nights.

As for the other lizard monk in the protagonist's team, because the negotiation with Weta is still going on, what Qiye put here is a dummy model wearing the other party's Indian-like costume.

The monk will only be a quiet and handsome man on this set, and Qiye will only choose the mid-range and long-range shots of this lizard.

All the close-up shots of the lizard monk, Nanaya will be completed in the later studio, and then interspersed into this shot.

Even with the latest technology of Weta Studio, there is currently no way to capture motion in the wild, so this 1:1 is the only one that appears on location.

"Cut!"

After shooting a short shot, Qiye immediately stopped.

"Makeup team, quickly touch up makeup!"

The most troublesome part of filming costume dramas is the makeup of the actors. Although Qiye has made sufficient preparations, the outdoor environment still makes the actors need to touch up their makeup at any time.

"Rin's wig is crooked, Luvia's clothes have gravel on the hem, the lizard's clothes need to be straightened, and then the 'flame' and food in the middle should be adjusted!"

Qiye walked around the set, and then gave instructions to the makeup artist and members of the props team.

The flames in front of the camera are block-shaped props wrapped in green screens, and the flames produced by special effects will not be replaced until later.

Qiye didn't have the time to warm up the fire outdoors, and if sparks were blown onto the actor's clothes by the wind, it would be no joke.

The same is true for those foods, although they look like meat skewers, but in fact they are just candies made similar to meat skewers.

After all, grease is the enemy of makeup on an actor's face. Touching up makeup is already troublesome enough, Qiye doesn't want to deal with grease.

He filmed "Goblin Slayer" and not "Lonely Gourmet". There is no need to completely restore the food, as long as it is "real".

Two makeup artists are arranging Rin's wig, and Nanaya is taking the time to explain to Rin what needs to be paid attention to during the shooting.

"Rin, you have to be a little more lively later on. After drinking, the elf's playful nature has been exposed. It's okay to let go a little bit, don't care about makeup. If you are too reserved, we will instead It takes more time."

Xilin Ke, who didn't need to touch up makeup, sat on the prop wood. He smiled and teased Rin: "Little girl, you can act as if you are drunk later! But have you ever drunk? If not, I can Let me show you~"

Speaking of which, the "uncle dwarf" made a few little girls' movements on purpose, which made others booed at Xilinke one after another.

"Hey, don't make us spit out our breakfast, it's still early for lunch!"

"Hahaha, I can't bear this, you should stop being actors." Xilinke laughed loudly after taking a sip of wine.

Seven nights did not stop the playfulness among several actors, and a moderate amount of relaxation was also needed.As long as these guys don't cause trouble or ruin the makeup, Qiye will let them go.

"It's a pity, if only these foods were something in the real drama. Wine and barbecue are the best."

Xilin could fiddle with the "barbecue" with his fingers and said regretfully.

Qiye gave the old man a serious look: "Why don't you get tired of eating every day?"

The food in New Zealand is quite simple and rough. Except for meat, seafood and simple vegetables, there are all kinds of dairy products, and the cooking methods are nothing more than roasting and salad.

It's not bad to eat this kind of thing once in a while with an open stomach, but if you eat it every day, you will basically dislike it very quickly.

Anyway, Qiye is very glad that he listened to Ori's suggestion and brought a lot of curry cubes and stew cubes from Japan to New Zealand.Although there is no rice, bread can only be used as the main food, but it is much better than the situation of roasting meat all day long.

Xilin Ke nodded and said, "Haha, of course you will get tired of simple barbecue, but it's not enough if you pair it with wine. Director, are you interested?"

"No, I don't drink much."

Qiye has no habit of smoking and drinking, he doesn't like the smell of cigarettes and the bitter taste of wine.Because of this incident, he was ridiculed by Four Seasons for a long time.

"It's a pity that half the fun in life is lost."
