Chapter 352 Trolls
The sun had already hung in the air, but the bedroom windows were blocked tightly by thick curtains. In the dim light, Duke completely transformed into a powerful knight galloping on a horse, harnessing the beautiful wild horse from Brazil under him. With his skillful skills and fluctuating rhythm, he broke through layers of difficulties and obstacles, and continued to charge towards the peak.∽↗,
The long brown hair floating on Duke's chest was shaking back and forth like a horse's long mane. The high nose covered by the mane was full of heavy breathing, as if this Brazilian horse had used all its strength.
Suddenly, Duke reached out and grabbed the horse's long temple hair and controlled it like a rein. The horse below reacted violently, but could not escape his control at all.
This is a long journey and a wonderful journey. Although the location has not changed, it allows those participating to enjoy particularly beautiful scenery and even forget their own existence.
Any trip has an end, with Duke and Ambroshey taking entry into the bathroom as the end.
Lying side by side in the large bathtub with foam, Ambroshe's eyes were covered with hazy mist, lazy as if she didn't even want to move a finger. She stayed until the end of last night and never thought about leaving.
"Duke." She turned her head and lay on her thick shoulders. Duke lowered her head and kissed the corner of her lips, "Is there anything wrong?"
"No." Ambrosho shook his head gently, "I just feel good about being with you."
Duke smiled and pinched her tall nose, "Then enjoy this moment."
Raising his chin, Ambroshe kissed her two red lips, and Duke became entangled with her again.
After a long time, the two walked out of the bedroom and went to the restaurant for breakfast, Duke sighed again that behind the devilish figures of these female models was an unbearable hellish torment for ordinary people. Even though the crazy energy consumed a lot of energy last night and this morning, Ambroshe's staple food was still vegetables, and not to mention salad dressing, even salt and vinaigrette would not be added.
"Anorexia is a common phenomenon in our field."
Walking in the sunny garden, Ambroshe held Duke's arm. "Just like male models are mostly gays, if there is no anorexia, you won't be able to tell people that you are a model."
It was a bit cold, and Wellington was the famous Wind City. Feeling the chill brought by the cold wind, Duke turned around and helped Ambroshe wrap his scarf tighter and walk towards the place where the sun shines directly.
"It's not easy for every industry to reach the top," Duke said. Ambroshe was deeply touched. "Yes, my toes have been deformed by high heels."
She grabbed one of Duke's hand and pressed it on her buttocks in shape pants. "To make it more erect, since I was fourteen, I would wear five-inch heels every night and drag the floor in the apartment for two hours."
"Try it, Colleen."
Holding her slender waist, Duke stood on the sunny yellow grass, "You will be more successful."
He turned around and smiled at Ambrose. Perhaps her private life was extremely chaotic like other models, and she could use various means to get ahead. However, she was very restrained in front of him, and at least the relationship between the two was relatively harmonious.
After Natalie Portman's incident, Duke became more cautious about women in the circle. He originally thought that Ambroshe might make some demands, such as adding a show for Arwen or improving his treatment and status in Victoria's Secret. These were not difficult for him to do, but she said nothing, as if the two were just attracted by hormones, just like all young men and women, just for physical enjoyment and indulgence, which led to this relationship that would definitely not last long.
Thinking of the complicated-minded girl far away in New York, Duke couldn't help but frown slightly. Perhaps he had seen too much in recent years and saw too much, and he had become a little tired of his current life.
Even the craziest playboy will feel a little tired after constantly chasing and killing him.
No one is static. As his experience deepens, his age gradually approaches thirty years old, Duke's mood is also slightly changing.
"What are you thinking?" Ambroshe asked curiously.
"Nothing." Duke shook his head, enjoying the thought in front of him gained the upper hand again, "I just suddenly felt a little old."
"Are you old?"
Ambroshe reached out with a hand, drilled into the hem of his coat, and grabbed it hard on his strong chest a few times, "Why didn't I realize it? Old people have the body like you? Will the energy and physical strength like you?"
"Are you seducing me, Colleen?"
Duke could feel it, Ambroshe grabbed his belt buckle with his other hand.
Ambroshe didn't answer, raised his chin slightly, staring at Duke with his misty eyes.
With a finger out, Duke lifted her chin, looked carefully on her face, then leaned over to hold Ambrocio on his shoulder and walked towards the woods in the garden.
After a crazy weekend, Duke returned to the shooting with energy as if he was charged.
This week, the crew is still divided into three parts. Anna Prinz and Zach Schneider are respectively on the north and south islands of New Zealand. Duke is busy with his own shooting, and he also has to examine the shots shot by two assistant directors. These two have worked with him for many years, and except for a very few shots, they basically meet Duke's requirements.
Moreover, the only thing that is taken is the material, and most of the shots have to be reprocessed after the post-production.
Anna Prinz was the first to complete this phase of the mission, and it was time for Victoria's Secret Angels to leave Wellington. Including Alessandra Ambroshe, who had not completed Arwen's role, Duke's Elf Angels flew away from Wellington International Airport in a massive publicity campaign.
Some people left the crew, some returned to the crew, and some people recently reported.
Shortly after the Victoria's Secret Angels left, Ian McLean temporarily ended his Magneto career and returned to the crew. At the same time as him, Andy Serkins, who played Gullum.
After the group of people gathered, Duke started filming the scenes of the Ring Protection Team again.
First, he had a conversation with Andy Serkins. This alternative actor who just starred in Peter Jackson's "King Kong" really has a lot of experience in motion capture. After trying to shoot some shots about Gollum, Duke simply asked the crew to sign a contract with him for an assistant director.
In the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, motion capture is not only a character named Gollum, but also various other monsters. The crew also needs the guidance of a professional.
Duke has always followed the principle that he has given professional work to professionals, and he never thought that one person could solve all problems.
And Andy Serkins soon had a place to use it. In the scenes of the Moria Mine that Duke was preparing to shoot, the Fire Demon and the Cave Troll were shooting using motion capture.
In particular, the cave trolls, in order to increase the hype of the publicity, Duke is preparing to star in person.
This was also the first role he played after saying goodbye to the California Institute of Arts. Although he was sure that his acting skills were bad, Duke was full of confidence in himself when he thought that Ang Lee could use motion capture to play the Hulk.
No matter what, he has been an actor, although he never had any lines.
In the shooting site arranged as the Moria mine, Duke walked in snailly. In addition to his face, his whole body was wrapped in a blue screen, and nearly a hundred motion sensors were also covered with. As long as the shooting began, all his movements would be captured and recorded and directly substituted into the three-dimensional model of the cave troll that had been built in Vita Studio.
"Anna, you are in charge of the director's position."
After looking at his strange outfit, Duke made the final explanation to the crew before filming, "John, pay attention to the camera."
Both of them nodded to Duke and sat in their respective positions.
Andy Serkins came over. Although the two sides had sufficient communication before, he was sure that Duke's talent in performance was very average, so he came over to give some advice.
"Duke, motion capture is not just a technical job. I always think that performance capture and interpreting live characters are the same. The key is to understand the character's psychology, and secondly, express it through actions and expressions."
Hearing him say this, Duke couldn't help but ask subconsciously, "What kind of mental state is the character I play."
He is about to play a cave troll, also known as a shemale.
Orlando Bloom, Sean Davis and Ian McLean, who were familiar with the movement, held back their laughter and continued to work seriously, but Billy Boyd couldn't help but snatched in front of Andy Serkins and said, "Of course you want to rush in and kill us, and then eat us!"
Everyone else laughed, Andy Serkins said to Duke again, "What Billy said makes sense. Duke, we all depend on your performance."
A props maker ran over and handed Duke a plastic hammer wrapped in a blue curtain. Duke waved it gently, basically not much of the portion.
But the shooting cannot be carried out yet. The technicians at Vita Studio also have to make the final technical preparations for Duke, installing a head-mounted camera on his blue hat and applying fluorescent paint dots on his face to solve facial recognition problems.
In the entire motion capture shooting, the most difficult thing is the actor's facial expression capture technology. Hollywood first relies on the form of reflectors to capture facial expressions, but the patches are always of size, and sticking them on the face can easily block the sight and affect the actor's performance.
Therefore, for the Lord of the Rings trilogy and Peter Jackson's King Kong, Vita Studio has made a series of innovations in motion capture technology. (To be continued...)
