"Haha, I'm actually a nurse, living in New Jersey." Leslie explained that the so-called actors are just sisters who put money on their faces. Cameron invited her to come over for an audition to see if she could be cast in T

-1000 attached lens, this can save a lot of money.

"It's perfect..." Cameron saw the scene of the two of them together. Although Leslie Hamilton is not an actor, she is very similar to Linda, so just one scene is not a big deal.

"It's a pity that not all actors have identical twins." Cameron shook his head. The budget can be reduced a little, but it cannot be extended to all actors transformed by T-1000.

"You can find actors with twins to audition. If there are no twins, then you can just find twins to play the role."

"Huh?" Cameron glanced at Ronald, this method...well, why didn't he think of it?

"Do you remember when you worked as a special effects engineer for Roger Corman and you were able to build the interior of a spaceship using McDonald's plates and trash cans? You won't forget how to shoot movies like Guerrilla

Right?" Ronald joked and said to Cameron.

There are so many movies with sufficient budgets made in big studios. Sometimes, you may forget where you came from.

"Just do it like this...I think about it, the scene where the T-1000 is frozen with liquid nitrogen can also be done like this..."

Cameron restored the street smarts he had developed as a truck driver, making do with the simplest and using whatever tricks were convenient for filming. The shot where the T-1000 was frozen by liquid nitrogen and collapsed into pieces was made of real metal.

Small pieces, and then use editing to solve them.

"It's the shot of the T-1000 standing up from the pile of frozen metal fragments..." Cameron drew two strokes on the drawing board. Using traditional special effects methods, it is difficult to create a person with mutilated limbs.

Shot of standing up from the ground.

"You find a disabled actor...and then use the Photoshop software on your computer to make a mask similar to the plastic scenery in the past..." Ronald took the pencil and drew a schematic diagram on the drawing board.

The shooting method of the airport scene in "Die Hard 2" can also be used here. Use a green screen to wrap the legs of actor Robert Patrick in the T-1000 to achieve the mid-range shot. A disabled actor's legs are used for the close-up shot.

I shot the legs and then edited them together.

Cameron looked at it and felt that as long as the effect on the computer can reach the standard, he can achieve the effect he is satisfied with, so he asked Ronald, "Can anyone do this method you mentioned?"

"Of course, I'll give you Van Fleet's phone number."

I made up my mind, there is a cheap way to shoot (in fact, it is not cheap at all, the budget of this movie may break Hollywood records). Cameron, Ronald and others went back to the hotel together, and met Mario Casa

I told you my plan.

"Very well, everyone, I have good news to announce. The director has come up with a better way to save the budget for special effects. Now we only need to increase the capital by 25 million, no, 20 million will be enough... Now it's still

There’s a shortfall of five million.”

When those second-round investors saw that the situation had changed, they looked at each other twice. These people were not stupid. It seemed that the main investors wanted to get rid of them and solve most of the financial problems themselves, which shows that they have great confidence in the film.

…

Then they immediately rushed to speak out, saying that they could invest the remaining shares. Those who did not grab it were very dissatisfied, and jointly demanded that the 25 million capital increase share must be restored...
