Renly was lost in thought.
Rooney's words, Alfonso's words, and Renly's own thoughts, collided in his mind, bursting out countless sparks, not only making the role of Ryan Stone a little fuller and more concrete; The method and content of the presentation have gradually become clearer.
This is undoubtedly an intoxicating process, getting carried away.
However, Renly then realized that they were now thinking too much about the characters themselves and ignoring the environment.
From a purely environmental point of view, there are indeed many similarities between "Gravity" and "Buried Alive", as is the expression and transmission of emotions; but after really getting into it, Renly realized that thinking separately from the role and the environment is a This method itself is wrong.
What's more, the difference between the two environments is that one is narrow and cramped to suffocate, and the other is vast and suffocating. From a psychological point of view, it is still different after all. If you add the psychological changes of Ryan's role, the difference will become bigger and bigger, and it can even be said to be completely different.
Raising his head, Renly saw a worried Alfonso and an expectant Rooney. Neither of them spoke, and the chattering discussion fell into silence for a while.
"What's wrong?" Ren Li's eyes widened and he cast a questioning gaze.
Alfonso squirmed his mouth, thinking of countless thoughts, but he didn't know how to express it.
Or Rooney blinked her eyes, did not hide her excitement at all, and couldn't wait to say, "How? Have you figured out a context? How is this scene going to be performed? God, I thought about it myself, the performance is too difficult. It's bigger than you can imagine!"
Rooney's vibrant eyes shone brightly, full of curiosity and anticipation to explore the unknown, as if... as if Renly was a research topic, which made Renly laugh, "There are some thoughts, But it's not complete, I need to think a bit further, I don't want to confirm anything too hastily."
Afterwards, Renly looked at Alfonso, "When you were in London, you mentioned that in order to create a real weightless effect, this work will use a new way of shooting. Can I go and take a look?"
Different shooting methods have a very obvious impact on the actors.
The simplest and most straightforward is the green screen acting skills. In the comic superhero movies, many times, the actors stand in front of the green screen, do not know where they are, do not know the size of their opponents, and sometimes do not even know themselves. Who is the opponent, is to complete the performance out of imagination. This is obviously not an easy task.
During the shoot of Edge of Tomorrow, Paul Greengrass used a half-set, half-green screen method to create a realistic sense of space. This gives the actors more performance reference and reference space, and also gives the post-production special effects production team more realistic reference space.
After the filming of "Fast and Furious 5" and "Edge of Tomorrow", Renly felt the different ways of filming in the film industry. A whole new way to subvert the rules of the entire industry. It also meant that Renly needed to learn more about the entire filming system in order to put himself in his shoes and adjust the way he performed.
It was as if he had entered a coffin to be "buried alive" for filming. Renly wouldn't mind doing it again if necessary.
"Of course! Of course." Alfonso came back to his senses, nodded again and again, stood up, walked quickly into the studio, and rambled about the entire filming installation - this is also one of his enthusiasm sources.
Renly and Rooney took two steps behind, exchanged glances, and followed Alfonso one after the other into the studio.
The so-called studio is full of strange and strange things. It can be understood that this is a giant warehouse, which is empty and has nothing in it. Then according to the crew's own ideas, they build various scenes, set up various equipment, and turn the decay into a magical film. Movies come.
Standing outside the studio, the entire photography base looks very ordinary, and it doesn't seem to be much different from any other photography base. If that's the case, they could have shot at Leavesden without having to come to Surrey; but the difference was immediately noticeable when entering the studio.
The various studios in the Leavesden photography base are more concrete.
In different studios, different scenes are built, mainly based on magnificent real scenes such as mountains, rivers, and cities. After the shooting, these backgrounds will not be removed and can be recycled. After the details and layout are adjusted , you can proceed to the next shooting after completion.
The various studios in the Surrey Photography Base are even more empty.
There are not too many scenes in sight, and strange equipment is built on the large open space. In Renly's impression, these equipments were never seen before. If I guessed correctly, they should all be special equipment for a movie - in other words, they cannot be reused. After a movie is shot, All to be dismantled and destroyed.
Renly had noticed before that the classic scene in the movie "Inception", the fight scene in the revolving corridor, was filmed here.
The studio in front of me is just like this. There are large vacancies, piled with various instruments and tools. It looks like a repair garage, or a self-made studio for an engineering nerd.
On the left, a strange machine caught Renly's attention. It looked like an octopus, an octopus mounted on a four-wheeled electric vehicle.
After taking a closer look, I found that there is an electric wheelchair below, a folded lift table in the middle, and a mechanical table above it—or an operating table; on both sides of the operating table, two extended Robotic arms, one with cameras and one with lights.
In the end, the whole machine was tangled with countless wires and gears that looked like they had just been taken out of a car repair shop, and then randomly pieced together.
"That was our first version of the filming tool." Alfonso noted Renly's gaze and explained proactively, "Our original idea was to fix the actors on the operating table, and then use the lift table and The control of the robotic arm, adjusting the angle and speed, creates the effect of weightlessness; at the same time, it also gives the assistance of lighting to create a complete loss of control of the visual effect.”
Following Alfonso's words, Renly made up the picture in his mind. He could imagine how the filming was carried out; but he could not imagine what the filming would look like, nor could he imagine how his performance should be. How to present. Sure enough, engineering things are still too difficult for liberal arts students. Even if he has two generations, he still has no talent in this area.
"But?" Renly noticed the foreshadowing in Alfonso's words and asked.
"However, this method of shooting was eliminated by us. First of all, it was too clumsy, the robotic arm was not flexible enough, and the displacement effect was not obvious enough, which meant that we had to speed up the running rate of the film, but for the performance of the actors It is a disaster; secondly, the lighting is too rigid, or the problem of the robotic arm, the conversion of the light source is not flexible enough, and for the effect of weightlessness in space, this is bound to be distorted; finally, the effect of weightlessness is not obvious enough.”
Chatteringly, while explaining, Alfonso explained with complicated and complicated gestures, "After the test shooting, we got more inspiration, and then built the light box."
As he spoke, Alfonso took the lead and walked to the right, shouting, "Tim? Tim! Renly arrived at the scene, we can now do a theoretical explanation and try to see the shooting effect. Tim?"
During the shouting, a middle-aged man emerged from the corner, with a chubby beer belly, his hairline had receded to the middle of his forehead, and his messy curly hair looked sparse. He was dressed in a shirt and a suit, but looked extremely sloppy and untidy. Unpretentious, like... like a high-level mechanic in a garage.
For the layman, the person in front of him may be a high-level mechanic, and it is estimated that no one recognizes him; but for the expert, the person in front of him is famous and admired.
Needless to say, because his work is the best endorsement and presentation: "Avatar", "Children of Men", "Batman: The Dark Knight", "Harry Potter".
The scruffy middle-aged man is Timothy-Webber, a visual effects supervisor. Teamed up with James Cameron to create "Avatar" with 3D technology; teamed up with Alfonso Cuaron to create a complete baby with computer effects in "Son of Man".
In the industry, Timothy is a truly respected behind-the-scenes hero. He is close friends and respected with George Lucas, James Cameron, Robert Zemeckis and other bigwigs.
Timothy didn't come across, but stood by the corner, rolling up his shirt and suit sleeves, "Now? Test it, or take a tour? If it's just a tour, our studio lights are enough, no need. Turn all the lights on."
"Test." The answer was not Alfonso, but Renly, "If it's not troublesome, I hope to be able to sit on the machine, really feel the effect, and test the state of the shooting; if possible, we can try Take a short shot to further check the state of the shot."
Although today is only the first day of arriving on the set, the state is not the best after a long journey and a lot of dust, but Renly's mental state is very good at this time, and his eagerness to try is always surging.
Timothy didn't ask, didn't say hello, just shrugged, "As you wish." Then looked back, "Ben, Matt, run the light box, we'll test the actual shooting effect now."
As Renly and his party approached, the lights suddenly lit up, as if hundreds of millions of stars gathered together to become a sun, blooming at close range.
