760 Pressure surge
With the development of the film industry, computer special effects are becoming more and more mature, and in many cases they can almost be used to make the real difference. However, traditional live special effects have not been eliminated because live special effects can present pure reality, which is crucial for actor performances, shooting effects, etc.
Using computer special effects to shoot and stand in front of a green screen to perform, even if the actors have rich imagination, the lack of details will still make huge differences, and the effects presented will also be different. Therefore, many directors adhere to the traditional shooting methods and strive to use the lens to capture the purest charm of the movie.
However, this also means that the difficulty of work is increasing, especially for works like "Rampant Road" that grab sight with visual effects, it is extremely difficult. As a director, Lance always adheres to a perfect attitude of striving for excellence and meticulousness, which is not helpful in reducing the difficulty of shooting.
After discussing the lighting effects with Newton, Lance was pulled away by the on-site special effects team. Considering the intensity of the sandstorm, even if eight blowers were used to create the effect of flying sand and rocks, it still could not achieve the reality of natural disasters. Therefore, the on-site special effects team proposed a solution, mixing dust fire extinguishing agent, grinding cornflakes and soot, and then spraying it out from different angles at the high pressure of the blower, artificially creating the effect of a tornado, presenting a real sense of doomsday. After many experiments, the special effects team tried to find the most suitable proportion. They needed Lance to go over and see the effect.
Before returning, Lance went around the audio team to communicate with each other - receiving the audio in the sandstorm, which was definitely a serious challenge. Lance refused to post-dubbing and had to receive the audio at the same time, so the audio team was also constantly trying.
"Lance, Lance..." When Lance walked towards Michael, Charlize's direction, Giselle, who had been practicing beside him, called out loudly. Lance paused and then walked towards their position. Giselle looked at the other four companions, Adriana, Candice, Miranda and Emma, "Lance, I want you to see the results of our rehearsal, and I'm not sure if we are working in the right direction."
Over the past few days, Lance has focused most of his energy on the technical aspects of the scene of the sandstorm, and the actors' performance has been a little relaxed. He knew that for models such as Giselle, the official scene was not easy to shoot because there was almost no help from lines, and they needed to express their emotions with their eyes and expressions. This is the simplest for Broadway actors, but it is very difficult for models.
"Yes." Lance closed his chin and nodded.dudu1;
Then I saw Giselle take a step back and slightly widen the distance, and his expression gradually becomes serious. His eyebrows slightly lean into the middle and he looks at Lance nervously. His expression has not changed much, but his eyes are constantly exerting force.
Lance only felt his temples jump gently, "So do you have stomachache or waist ache?" Gisele growled in depression, "I'm performing seriously!" Lance didn't buy it at all, "If this is a performance, then the movie would be ruined." Lance had a headache. He didn't have time to know how the models acted step by step, and his eyes fell on Emma, "Emma, come and guide them."
"Me?" Emma was stunned. She had only starred in a work and was still studying hard in the academy. How did she know how to guide the actors?
Lance didn't hesitate too much, "Look." Then he turned to look at Giselle, "You start to jump in place or run in place." Giselle didn't know what medicine Lance bought in, "Start! Move." Giselle quickly ran in place, "Imagine that you participated in a magazine shooting today, but because of some accidents, it was too late to arrive at the scene, so you trot into the studio, but you unexpectedly found that the entire photography team had been replaced with new ones, all of which were men, and they looked like men from the underworld, without any familiar faces. The point is that your agent has not arrived for the time being, and only you and... your two female assistants will deal with the situation."
Gisel's expression suddenly became serious and alert, her eyes were filled with alienation and alertness. Her eyes were wandering around looking for more familiar clues, but her breathing still became rushing, which made her eyebrows feel a little tired.
"Very good." Lance pressed his palm, "That's all."
Gisele stopped, gasped gently, with a puzzled look on her face, "That's all?" She had no idea what she had done just now, and in her opinion, she did nothing. In the previous attempt, she had a performance component, but this time she showed nothing. But why was Lance's attitude completely opposite?dudu2;
"By the way, don't look me in the eyes. In actual shooting, ignore the camera." Lance looked at several other models, "This is not taking photos, there is no need to focus. After entering the shooting, ignore the existence of the camera as much as possible and just relax." Several models did not have close-up shots, so the performance did not need to be so delicate, and there was no need to be layered. Just be as emotional as possible.
Lance's eyes finally fell on Emma, "Let them relax and then enter the situation, that's enough. If I remember correctly, this is the basic course of the performance class, right?" Emma nodded in agreement, "You can each of you analyze the roles, you can help them, determine an emotion, and then express it, that's enough. Can you do it?"
Although Emma is still not considered an excellent actor, she still has a long way to go; but Emma's talent and diligence are worthy of recognition, and her basic skills are relatively solid. What Emma needs now is to accumulate experience and help models get into the state, which is not difficult for her; and she can also let her experience the performance from different angles, which is also helpful for performance.
Emma was still a little hesitant, "What if my analysis is wrong?" She is not Lance, and her understanding of the character is not that profound.
Lance shrugged indifferently, "I will correct it when the time comes." After that, Lance turned around and left. The understatement was filled with strong confidence that could not be argued.
Emma looked at Lance's back, and a trace of confusion appeared in her eyes. She was a little worried because there was an abnormal fatigue in the depths of Lance's eyes. The impetuousness was well concealed, and she couldn't say it. She just felt that something was wrong with Lance. "Emma, where is me? What should I do?" Candice's lively voice came from the side. Emma had to withdraw her attention, and then she saw everyone's eyes all fell on her. The heavy sense of responsibility made her breath out. Since Lance gave this important task to her, she could not let Lance down.
Come back to Michael and Charlize, but Lance doesn't sit down and hesitates for a moment, "I'll go smoke a cigarette." After that, he leaves again.dudu3;
When he arrived at the next room, Lance leaned against the window casually and lit a cigarette. One of his head was aching. He had not had a good rest in the past few days. On the one hand, it was because the crew was facing tremendous pressure. Even though Lance did not think about Chaos Pictures for the time being and focused all his attention on the "Raging Road", the continuous obstacles in the shooting were still a headache; on the other hand, it was because of the difficulties in the shooting itself, and his head was messed up.
He needs to calm down and conceive the entire picture pattern well. He not only needs to consider how to compose, how to run, and how to edit, but also needs to consider different captures of the characters from different perspectives. This plays a crucial role in expressing the character's personality edges. In addition, it also needs to consider the interpretation of the picture and the character's interpretation of the core theme...
Closed her eyes, and Lance's mind showed Nux driving, stomping down the accelerator frantically, preparing to attack the entire suicide. In the storm, the small Chevrolet classic car looked like a little bee that could be caught in a tornado at any time, but she was unsteadily moving towards the chariot, even if she was a mantis armed with a mantis arm, she didn't care. The rolling red sandstorm was flaunting and bursting out powerful momentum, which was not inferior to the chariot. At this moment, Ferosa, who was driving the chariot, was hung on the roof of the chariot as a "blood bag", was overshadowed. The fanatical paranoia on Nux's body burst into a strange, evil but stunned light.
Max...Max was like a kite at this time, hanging behind Knox's car and flying kites.
However, Max never gave up. His strong desire to survive made him seize a glimmer of hope in desperate situations and prevented a disaster. Wait, Max? How should he interpret Max? What is his mentality in this desperate environment? What is his attitude towards Nax?
Lance suddenly realized that he had been standing in the position of director to dispatch the entire crew for a while, but ignored the role of Max. This can definitely be said to be a fatal mistake, because Max wanted to go hand in hand with Ferosa in his limited writing, which means that Lance must give Max more soul, otherwise he would be completely snatched away by Ferosa.
The lighting group... the special effects group... the models' performance... the sound group... the rehearsal exercises of Charlize and Michael... the Max's performance... Countless information penetrated into his head, so crowded that there was no space left, as if his head was about to explode, which made Lance feel a little powerless for the first time.
