1082 Jigsaw Puzzle 1 Corner
Looking at the energetic Renly, and Rooney who was full of expectations, Emmanuel exchanged glances with Alfonso and Timothy. After all, he was persuaded. After nodding his head, he threw himself again in the discussion of work.
"So, what do you want to know?" Emmanuel asked actively.
Renly and Rooney looked at each other reflexively, exchanged glances briefly, and both couldn't help but smile.
Rooney said, "Please continue the discussion just now. The two of us will act as auditors. If there is a part that requires the cooperation of the actors, we can speak at any time; or, if there is any doubt, we will join in directly."
Emmanuel nodded contentedly, which obviously couldn't be better, but when he was about to speak, he got stuck for a while, and suddenly he didn't know where he was discussing just now, but Renly gave a friendly reminder, " With the addition of orbits, the movement of the camera is extremely complicated.”
This suddenly awakened Emmanuel's memory, and nodded again and again, "Yes, I discussed with Alfonso and Timothy, hoping to show the sense of space and majesty of the entire universe in a more grand manner, so we need to start from Panorama to close-up, close-up, and then from close-up through the movement of the camera, back to the panorama, and even the protagonist's perspective of God..."
Incessantly speaking, Emmanuel began to express his professional opinions, and even stood up and used a black carbon pen to show the movement of the camera and the scheduling of the scene on the small whiteboard next to him.
This was the first meeting between Emmanuel and Renly. The two didn't even introduce themselves, and immediately cut into work mode, just like the first meeting between Renly and Timothy Webb, and, Renly First meeting with Alfonso Cuaron.
Only by truly witnessing the shot scheduling and scene structure drawn by Emmanuel can we understand how the magnificence and majesty of the film "Gravity" came into being, and we can understand Emmanuel as a top cameraman talents and talents. The grand scene presented by the movie is a bigger blueprint behind the scenes——
In Emmanuel's pen, he drew the cloud map of the entire space, the positions of the earth, the sun, and other planets, the position of the space station, and the position of the blown up abandoned satellite, and then the entire camera position and composition. Outlined, this is just the first step.
Subsequently, Emmanuel decomposed the perspectives of different positions and roles, the changes in wide angle, depth of field, composition and position, and included all the details of the 18-minute long shot. All working groups are included.
The complexity of the entire program is comparable to an academic paper on physics or astronomy, and it was eloquently described for more than forty-five minutes, just to talk about a "camera movement" problem.
That's not all.
Immediately afterwards, Alfonso appeared again to supplement, and described in detail the relative positions of the sun and the moon under the lens of the Hubble telescope. During the lens movement, the position and angle of the two reference objects will produce subtle changes. change; of course, and most importantly, the model of the earth, the model of the earth at the moment of view in space.
The fullness and abundance of details is really eye-opening for Renly.
Not only Alfonso and Emmanuel constantly interrupted and communicated, but all the other staff who participated in the meeting also raised the problems they may face during the actual operation from their own professional perspectives. The heated discussion just couldn't stop.
Later, Renly learned that, in order to make this movie, Alfonso watched the relevant documentaries of the Hubble Telescope to understand the orbit of the telescope in space, and through Warner Bros. as a medium, he found a person in NASA. The current astronaut acts as a consultant to restore the space scene from a real perspective.
Now, they're trying to turn the idea in their minds into reality. After five years of preparation, there is still a lot of work to be done before entering actual combat.
In such a heated discussion,
The only one who can't get in is Renly; to be more precise, it should be the actors. Neither Renly nor Rooney can find the entry point. Those technical problems are basically a book for the actors, the speed of thinking. It is very rare to be able to keep up with the rhythm of everyone's discussions.
But for the two actors, this is still very beneficial. They really understand the movement of the camera and the scheduling of the scene. Even if they don't understand the theoretical and technical knowledge, they can see their position in the whole process and become one of them. a part of.
Whether it was Renly or Rooney, they were all engrossed in it. They did not participate in the discussion, but they listened attentively, and they were still interested. From time to time, the two exchanged ideas. In Emmanuel's blueprint, the analysis belongs to Your own position, and the issues you need to pay attention to during the performance——
Renly had already entered the lightbox to experience it, but Rooney had not. Therefore, Renly's perspective undoubtedly has more reference value.
"Renly? What are your thoughts? Or, a question?" Amidst the noise, Emmanuel's voice came over, and he seemed to notice Renly and Rooney who were talking to each other, as if in the classroom, the teacher Students chatting privately were captured, and then... the teacher called.
The scene was a little joyous.
In an instant, all eyes were focused on Renly and Rooney. It was not a pleasant thing to be the center of attention in this way.
Renly and Rooney couldn't help but chuckle and glanced at each other secretly, and finally Renly took the initiative to say, "I have many questions, countless questions." Just as Emmanuel was about to respond At that time, Renly said, "The biggest problem is here. I don't know how to ask questions. I feel like I don't belong here."
While joking, frowning slightly, there was a confused expression on his face, and the atmosphere in the studio suddenly became relaxed, making people laugh.
Only Emmanuel is an exception.
Emmanuel still looked at Renly with a serious face, his stern expression did not change, and even became deeper.
Seeing this, Renly gathered a smile and said seriously, "I do have some doubts. The entire eighteen minutes is not really a long shot in one go, and there are still some technical problems that cannot be solved, so you are going to split into two Take a long shot, and find an accurate cut to stitch the two shots together, right?"
Emmanuel didn't say anything, but Alfonso nodded slightly in affirmation.
"Have you considered that the lens that shows the whole picture of the earth will be a complete computer-made lens, and all the production will be completed on the computer. Maybe, this can become a natural connection point." Renly put forward his own ideas. , "Of course, this is just my personal opinion."
As Renly said, with purely computer-generated shots, the entry, exit and movement can be seamlessly connected, which can indeed solve the problem of coherent connection in the production of long shots.
Before, Alfonso and the others focused on the smoothness of the entire shot production, ignoring the diversity of shooting techniques. Even Timothy was brought into the pit for a while without thinking outside the frame. As long as they were given enough time, they could get along with the solution themselves, but now Renly was speaking from the perspective of a complete layman, an outsider, of the different possibilities.
Emmanuel folded his hands on his chest and took a defensive stance. It seemed that he still refused to forgive Renly so easily, but his eyes were still not as sharp as before, and he was caught in his own thoughts.
"In addition, you will use the IRIS robotic arm to operate the panning of all lenses, every angle of view, every position, every movement, all carefully designed and arranged; then assist the light changes in the light box, the entire shooting process can be Move in any direction, take any shot, and solve all the technical problems by changing characters and background lighting, right?"
This time, Renly's words made Emmanuel involuntarily give a slight nod. This is the core and summary of all their discussions just now. Obviously, Renly didn't get distracted. Not only did he not, but he also participated fully in it.
Immediately, Emmanuel realized his nodding action, raised his chin in embarrassment, restrained his expression, and put on a serious expression again. It's just that the slight change in his movements revealed his arrogance.
Renly didn't break it, but went on to say, "Then my doubt is, what exactly is an actor's job?"
To ask such a question is indeed a bit silly. Not only Emmanuel, but everyone else laughed lightly, and subconsciously prepared to start teasing Renly, but the words got stuck in their throats, but they couldn't help but froze—
They don't know how to answer.
After thinking about it, I suddenly found out: Indeed, what should an actor do? The actor is a completely forgotten part of the entire technical discussion.
"Rooney and I had a discussion just now, and we came to similar conclusions," Renly continued. "Throughout the shoot, we had to clearly understand the timing of all the action and the direction of the camera movement, etc., clearly Know what you are doing, what the crew is doing, where to look at what time, what action to show when, what performance to complete when, in other words..."
After a short pause, Renly glanced around, "In other words, we are just a part of the puzzle, like chess pieces, placed in the corresponding positions to complete the whole picture, that's all. . As for the technical discussion part, we only need to sit in and do not need to participate in the discussion.”
The words seem to be correct, it seems that this is the truth, but after expressing it like this, it is strange to hear it, and it is combined with the situation just now... In an instant, all eyes turned to Emmanuel.
