Post-shadow Development Plan

Things like this are very common in Hollywood filmmaking.

pS: Sorry there is only one update tonight.

It was supposed to be two shifts, but the rice cooker at home broke down at noon, so Mi Jiang had to go out to repair the rice cooker in the afternoon.

As a result, the first repair point, Mi Jiang, couldn't repair it, and the price of a circuit board was 600 yuan. You guys are killing pigs! (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

In the end, Mi Jiang had to find another one.

If there is no accident tomorrow, it should be possible to update 4, probably.After all, there is a seminar with a tutor during the day...→_→

At present, there are 5 changes in total, because the reward has not ended yet, so Mi Jiang is too lazy to calculate how much is still owed, and we will calculate it after the reward ends on Friday. ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Chapter 386 Big Watery Eyes

It sounds a bit stupid to spend several days and tens of thousands of budgets for just one shot, but it is completely normal in the Hollywood industry.

In fact, Qiye also considered using full CG for this shot, but after comparison, he found that it would be cheaper to use half real person and half CG.

The main problem lies in the processing of Hassan's cloak. If Qiye wants to get the real feeling of being blown by the wind, the cost of various CG modeling involved will be very high.

The same situation is not limited to Qiye, even other film crews will encounter the same problem.

In Hollywood, except for directors like Nolan who are crazy about live-action and film shooting, or directors like Cameron who don’t care about the cost in order to achieve the effect they want, most directors will choose more cost-effective when shooting shots. that one.

In fact, as far as Qiye knows, even with the development of CG technology in 2020, there are still many shots that need to be shot with real-life models.

Especially in daytime scenes, the shortcomings of CG technology will be exposed very obviously.

This is why since 2000, large-scale commercial films have fought more and more at night, in order to cover up the flaws of CG technology.

At present, the most used shots of real objects are heavy vehicles such as large trucks and explosion scenes.

The former is because the current CG technology is difficult to express the heavy texture of the heavy big guy, lest the audience feel fake.

For example, in the opening scene of "Captain America 3: Civil War", the truck rushes into the gate, the truck is real, not CG production.

The same is true for the explosion scene. No matter how advanced the technology is, the explosion effect produced entirely by CG still cannot match the feeling of a real physical explosion.

At least before Qiye's rebirth, it was still the case.

What the Hollywood special effects team does is more based on the explosion shots in reality, and then uses CG processing to achieve those shots in the director's mind.

But why?

No matter how realistic the CG production is, everyone can still know that this is not a real explosion, but a pure computer simulation.

Even Qiye is difficult to answer this question, but he doesn't think it's just a question of pure technical ability.

Qiye felt that the feeling was very mysterious, and it was difficult for him to explain it in professional terms.

If you have to say it, probably those explosions are real in this world, right?

That's why these shots have an incomparably realistic charm.

Explosions made with CG lack this sense of realism, making them incomparable with actual explosions.

It's as if boys are born with the soul of steel and fall in love with mechs. This may be the instinct of human aesthetics.

Qiye also admits that this may be his own paranoid idea, but which director is not paranoid?

As the person who presents the picture in his mind to the audience, Qiye feels that as long as he achieves the desired effect and the audience can recognize it, it will be fine.

The first two shots of fz were shot quite smoothly, which is a good start for the whole project team.

But in the next few days, various minor problems began to occur during the shooting, and the shooting progress began to slow down.

Neither Seven Nights nor Four Seasons paid much attention to this, after all, this is a normal filming situation.

If every shot is as simple as the first two shots, then anyone can make a movie.

In front of the camera, Johnson and Dou Sen are both standing on the Shenwei wheel made by the crew, and the scene being filmed now is the scene where the emperor appears in front of everyone.

The set still uses the same set when Saber and Lancer confronted each other before, but because the plot has already experienced the relationship between the two servants fighting, the set set has become quite messy.

Unlike in the original animation, which just smashed the floor, in order to show the destructive power of the servants, Nanaya tossed the pier built by the set group very badly.

If you want to describe it, it is probably that the emperor drove the ox cart and plowed the entire pier aside.

Although it was brushes and sabers that caused this tragic scene.

In addition to the scenery, another difference is the location of the camera.

Although Dou Sen has a tender face, his height is not short. Although Johnson has the figure of the Black Iron Tower, he still does not reach the height difference between Weber and the Great in the original book.

Since the hardware indicators cannot be met, it is necessary to make a fuss about the external environment.

The Emperor is not Uncle B, and this role definitely cannot be solved with CG special effects.

All the shots involving the Emperor and Weber cannot be shot in the usual way, but have to go through special processing.

First of all, we need to increase the height of Johnson. The prop box originally used to smooth out the lack of height of short actors came in handy again, which can make Johnson physically taller than Dou Sen based on the original height difference. Come one head at a time.

Fortunately, the Great Emperor has a cloak, which can perfectly cover the item box under his feet.

In terms of camera shooting, Qiye also used special techniques to let the audience feel the absolute height difference between the two characters.
