694 Crazy Concept

"So, you mean, will you use the camera to complete the actual shooting of this picture? Don't use computer special effects?" After Hayden asked this sentence, everyone reacted, and his eyes couldn't help but projected towards Lance. Then he saw Lance pursing his lips with his own natural expression. In an instant, everyone's brains fell into a state of crash. "Madman! God, you are a madman!" Hayden blurted out uncontrollably.·

Anyone with some common sense knows that it is almost impossible to shoot the effects of natural disasters. Imagine that the photographers who shoot tornado documentaries can certainly not really stand in the eye of the wind to shoot. Even if they hide in a bunker and shoot nearby, the picture will inevitably be affected by natural factors. This is also the reason why people call it "uncontrollable".

The draft pictures of Lance cannot be regarded as natural disasters, and the artistic effect is far greater than the practical significance - in real life, knowing that there is a tornado in front of you and driving over is called self-destruction. But it is precisely because of this that the difficulty of shooting is unimaginable.

In the film industry, it is common to turn decay and magical. Even if computer special effects are not used, they can fully use the scaling method to achieve their goals. For example, the scene of the tsunami flooding New York in the "day acquired" is that Lance miniaturized the entire New York City into a model, and then used water to shoot the scene of the city being flooded. Then, with green screen technology, the actors are truly inserted into the picture, and then formed the amazing scenes that people see.

But the problem is that now Lance actually wants to do the actual shooting? There is no other explanation except for the madman.

Hayden plundered all the thoughts in his mind and mobilized all his knowledge, but he didn't know how to shoot such an effect.

Lance had already had some idea about this. He originally did not intend to discuss it now, but then he thought that he had to let the painters know the limits of the crew so that they could let the painters completely let go of their hands and feet and let their imagination go. So Lance took a step forward, got closer to everyone, and showed it with both hands, "Look, the crew will shoot at this position. In order to truly achieve such a proportion, we will complete the shooting at the distance, and all the pursuits will happen."

Then he pointed to the position of the dust storm on the right with his right hand, "Here we will place four to eight super large hair dryers, and start them up at the same time. If necessary, twelve sandstorms will be artificially created!" The power of the large hair dryers is very strong. When facing two, people can hardly move forward, but they will be blown away. So you can imagine the power of the twelve. "This not only presents a real performance environment for the actors, but also makes the proportion of the picture accurate and realistic. After the shooting is completed, the computer will be used to create the effects caused by the tornado to complete the shooting."

No matter how great human beings are, they cannot control natural disasters. Therefore, the most important part is to be handed over to computer special effects, which is also the component of the remaining twenty percent of the film's shots.

But Lance's explanation still did not make Hayden's frown loose, "What should I do if the close-up and medium-scene scenes? All of us broke into the sandstorm? Then what? Then we were put on the camera with waterproof plastic? We stood in the wind... messy? Feeling the speed of stones and sand coming from the face?" Hayden felt that he was really powerless to complain. Every time he thought Lance refreshed his bottom line, he would often be shocked again.

"You can wear pilot goggles." Lance's answer surprised Hayden, and the words behind it were completely stuck, because Lance meant... his guess was right? "We not only have to shoot close-up shots, but we also have to go into the dust storm to shoot." Lance raised his head and looked left and right, and then someone automatically sent a draft. He looked up and saw that it was the young man just now.??·

Kirk had found something abnormal when he looked at the draft before, so he collected a series of drafts similar to sandstorms, and handed them over to Lance in one breath. When Kirk was about to return again, Lance stopped him, "Show the draft to everyone." Lance treated him as a support frame, but Kirk didn't mind at all and immediately followed the instructions excitedly.

Hulala, everyone walked forward one after another, and involuntarily began to become proactive. Before they knew it, the whole room gathered together with Reims as the center.

"We are here to create a real apocalypse. The tornado is sweeping around, flying sand and rocks, lightning and thunder, and in the dust storm, the pursuit continues." Lance had reached a state of concentration at this time. His previous conception of "Mad Max 4" gradually began to become clear, with inspiration from George Miller and his own understanding, "Remember? The first draft we mentioned was that some vehicles began to attack good people's tankers, so when the tankers entered the dust storm,

These vehicles had to enter it. Therefore, in the space where the tornado was raging, the pursuit did not stop, and there would still be a vehicle explosion, and then it would be crushed to pieces. When the vehicle was rolled up, all the debris began to fly with the tornado, even people. The lightning of the bucket in the sky struck down, and the whole world became transparent. Then, surrounded by sand and dust, the colors of the whole world began to become more and more bright, from bright yellow to bright red, like blood, like flames, or like discoloration caused by too dense sand…”

Lance didn't have to look up at all, and he felt Hayden beside him. He raised his head and saw Hayden's depression on his face. "We will shoot this whole scene on the spot, and the part that dances with the tornado is given to computer special effects, but the other parts will be shot in real life. I hope the actors and the scene will experience a real dust storm."

"Where is the lightning?" Hayden said angrily.

Lance nodded, "Thunder and lightning are also special effects, but the lights on the scene must simulate a real effect." Next to it, Newton's whine came, "I hope to achieve a confrontation between chaos and tranquility. In the tornado, vehicles are split, humans are wailing, and the fuel tank explodes, as if the whole world is torn apart; but outside the tornado, the tank trucks and chase vehicles are moving quickly in the sky, avoiding the attack of the tornado, coping with the visual obstacles caused by the sandstorm, and constantly chasing them."

"Wow." Kirk couldn't help it anymore and exclaimed directly. Then he saw everyone's eyes coming, and he quickly closed his mouth.

"But, have you ever thought about how to shoot?" George, who was always standing aside, finally spoke, and a curious look flowed in his eyes. Although he and Lance had exchanged many ideas, the two of them had never talked about how to put them into practice, which was also the most important issue.

Lance nodded. For "Crazy Max 4", the difficulty of shooting is undoubtedly overwhelming, even more difficult than "Avatar" and "gravity". Not only for Lance, but for the entire Hollywood, it will be a difficult topic. Because these are not computer special effects, but restore the most simple and primitive means of the film industry, pushing the combination of reality and art to the peak.

"We first draw the storyline with drawings and simulate the movie scene, and then put in rehearsals before shooting. From light to angle to track, and even the actors' performance methods, all of them are rehearsed multiple times. When we are put into formal shooting, we arrange cameras at every angle and on each vehicle, including panoramic and wide-angle vision, and put in the shooting in one go. If something goes wrong in one place, all overturn and start over until perfection!"

This is an evolution of Lance after going through "Fruit Hard Candy" after a single shot.

In the modern shooting techniques of the film industry, montages are used too frequently, and the art of editing is pushed to the extreme, which is also the reason why the Best Editing Award is the best small film. Works that are not nominated for the Best Editing Award are often considered not qualified to compete for the best film. However, the dazzling editing ignores the authenticity, which not only causes some cut-scene connection loopholes, but also causes the effect of the visual effect scene to be further exaggerated, causing the distance between the movie and the audience to begin to widen. That sense of alienation is irreplaceable. The powerful visual special effects can make the audience feel the effect of adrenaline explosion, but it cannot really make the audience believe that "this is real."

Therefore, this time Lance wants to make changes, editing is still his biggest weapon, but he will use a one-stop approach to establish the angle, picture, and editing methods in his mind, and then run in through rehearsals, and finally put it into the shooting. This is not a one-shot shot, but it is a one-time shooting, and no flaws are allowed to be shot at one time. After the picture is presented, the entire scene will be constructed in a three-dimensional and three-dimensional way through editing techniques to complete the shaping of the movie.

This method is so demanding that it is unimaginable.

First, the rehearsal is required to be meticulous. It may take ten days and half a month to rehearsal in order to shoot a scene; second, the tolerance is very low. Any accident during the shooting process may cause the whole scene to be repeated, and the lost funds will be like splashing water; third, the director must maintain a high degree of clarity. Lance must think about every angle, every picture, and even the edited effect must be taken into account. He has no reference objects and can only complete this task through his head. If Lance's conception is wrong, then not only the shooting, but even the rehearsal may be in vain.

Therefore, it is foreseeable that this shooting method is not only difficult, but also very expensive, which is almost equivalent to spending money. However, it is also foreseeable that once the shooting is successful, it will be another feat in the history of film, presenting modern effects in a retro way, and truly eliminating the sense of alienation brought by computer special effects - because all the pictures are real, truly allowing the audience to be immersed in the scene and integrate with the story.
