761 Every minute counts
"The storm has stopped! Get ready to shoot immediately!"
Lance's voice echoed in the hall, like thunder on the ground, which scared everyone. However, when he raised his head, he had only time to see a back of Lance, and disappeared from the door in a blink of an eye. A gust of wind blew in with the opening of the door. After the wind swept away the remaining clouds, the hall returned to calm again. The thunderous and decisive attitude made everyone look at each other.
Still, the hall fell into a brief stiff state, and then Michael was the first to stand up, and rushed out with a quick step. Then Emma also stood up, and had no time to pat Candice on the shoulder and shouted, "Quick!" Emma trotted and stirred up a burst of dust.
In a blink of an eye, the entire crew started to run quickly. After waiting for three days, everyone was already in a state of suffocation. After leaving the room, they saw the desert gradually calmed down outside. Everyone was in a hurry, but it was only a moment. The order was quickly restored again. Everyone started to get busy in an orderly manner but every second.
Lance immediately set off with the photography team and arrived at the scheduled shooting site as soon as possible. After getting off the bus, he looked around. There were still fine grains of sand floating in the air. The slow breeze did not completely calm down. If you accidentally blow sand and dust, your eyes would blow up. However, this environment coincided with the requirements of the next scene, which was really better.
The photography team began to set up shooting tracks and cameras inside the car, the lighting group began to set up special lights, and the prop group started to set up blowers on both sides of the "runway" of a mile. The special effects group is the busiest. They must arrange the explosion point in the correct position, and at the same time cooperate with the lighting group and prop group to present accurate special effects in the correct position...
Due to insufficient staff and time shortage, even the supporting actors have come forward to help. They must lay more fine sand and ash on the shooting track. Only in this way can they create a special effect of rolling smoke and overwhelming in actual shooting. Without the need for later computer effects, the scene can create a vast and vigorous sandstorm effect.
But the plan was far from keeping up with the changes, and the sky cleared up in a blink of an eye, which surprised Lance. The most perfect weather for shooting this scene was undoubtedly cloudy, not only because it was easier for the post-production of special effects, but also because the tone of the cloudy light allows the lighting group to create the orange-red or even bright red light effect more effectively. Now it is cloudless, which caught Lance, Newton, and Hayden off guard.dudu1;
Hayden smiled helplessly and shook his head, "It seems that this desert is not overwhelmed by your charm."
Lance rolled his eyes, turned around and continued to be busy. Although Albert had already understood the work of on-site dispatch, because today's shooting was too large, Albert could not take care of each part by himself, so Lance took over the responsibility of the general dispatch and effectively integrated the various groups.
"...Albert, the blower on the right is too close, and they are collectively retreating twenty-five yards..." Lance said with the intercom, but he couldn't help but raise his head, because the sky was getting darker again, and then he saw that the thick clouds in the sky were piled up. Lance almost subconsciously blurted out, "Grass!"
White clouds like cotton wool are stacked, layer by layer like warehouses after the harvest of cotton balls, covering a small part of the sky, but the remaining part is still cloudless. The bright golden sunlight sets against the washed sky, transparent and clear. The extreme contrast seems spectacular, just like seeing the apocalypse of the world with one's own eyes, which is so shocking that it makes people lose language.
"Grass!" Lance couldn't help but curse again. The weather changes too quickly. Although cloudy days would help shooting, the clouds are too thick now, making people wonder if there will be heavy rain or even hail next time, so their preparations will become useless.
"Woman, woman, you are really hard to serve." Hayden's voice came from the side. Lance turned his head and glanced at Hayden, but he shrugged indifferently, "What's wrong? What I'm talking about is the fact. You don't like sunny days, and you don't like cloudy days now."
"Why don't you speed up the movements in your hands if you have time to eat sand here?" Lance said seriously, "Or, are you going to have a French meal here?" Lance kicked the sand under the kick, and rose in the wind. As a result, Hayden ate the sand in his mouth, turned his head in a mess and spit out "Phoa" and started to vomit.dudu2;
Newton stood there and looked at the slowly moving clouds in the sky, looking confused. They finally completed the arrangement according to the current lighting conditions, but now it seems that they must overthrow it again. Although Newton knew from the beginning that this was the problem that must be faced in real shooting in nature, the changing weather in the desert still made his work extremely difficult.
After breathing a long sigh, Newton turned to look at his team members, waved his hand, "Remeasure."
By the time the crew's preparations were completed, it was already forty-five minutes later. No one knew how the weather would change in the future. They had to seize every second and immediately start shooting.
Lance was lying on the rear window of the car, thinking that he would give some sentences to each working group, Michael and Charlize, but after thinking about it carefully, they had been preparing for this scene for three days, and they had already said everything they should say. Now the arrow was on the string, and the entire crew was racing against the weather, so he swallowed his words, pulled the chain behind his neck, stepped on the taillight of the car with both feet, and stomped on the barefoot right foot and could feel the sharp and thick texture. He was sure that he would step on it and would not fall down easily. Then he raised his right hand and gestured a "ok" gesture, ready to be shot at any time.
After just waiting for a while, the wind began to blow. However, this time it was not a change in the natural weather, but an effect created by the crew. When I looked up, delicate sand and dust came to my face, just like the continuous drizzle of spring; the smoke and dust rolling on the ground made me feel that the whole world was retreating. The reddish-brown desert was completely invisible, and even the wheels were blocked by smoke, just like a fairyland.
After a while, a small upward group of air flow began to appear at the end of the sight. This was not a tornado, but a vortex formed by the rotation of the air. However, the air flow rolled up artificial sand and dust, and then formed a fog vortex, which looked very realistic. Then, one vortex after another began to appear one after another. In a blink of an eye, at least six vortex groups appeared in the sight. The orange-red sand and dust all over the sky connected the sky and the earth, as if forming an independent world, surrounding everyone. The vortex groups in the isolation space were raging and destroying the earth, as if they tried their best to tear apart the space. The whole scene was spectacular.
In a trance, it seemed that the end of the world was coming. The immersive feeling in my mind caused a wave of adrenaline, just like a firework show on July 4th.dudu3;
"Shots start!" Albert's voice came from the intercom.
Michael stepped on the accelerator and the car started immediately, but he was obviously too excited and forgot to keep a uniform speed. He stepped to the extreme. This caught Lance, who was standing at the rear of the car, and flew to the roof. Lance gritted his teeth and pounded the roof twice. Michael then came to his senses and quickly let go of the accelerator to slow down the speed of the car. In order to ensure the safety of the actors and to ensure that the shooting can be completed in this mile of wonderful world, they cannot speed up the car. As for how to create the visual illusion of speed and speed of racing, this is the skill of post-production.
Nax looked at the chariot not far away with his eyes, and unswervingly advanced towards the target. Max finally stood firm and saw the scene ahead through the rear window. At this time, he was put on a shackle and "hanged" on the roof of the car as a blood bag to supply blood to Nax, so he could not escape directly for the time being. He focused and careful looking at the scene around, waiting for an opportunity to find an opportunity to escape, and then Max saw the magnificent scene in front of him.
Countless tornadoes were destroying the horizons within sight, and the overwhelming sandstorms enveloped a hundred miles of radius, as if they had gathered them into hell and then slowly executed them. At this moment, there was an explosion of flames not far from the right front, and the bright red flames jumped up from the ground and began to devour one of the tornados. Countless car parts were flying in the sky, but soon, the tornado swallowed the flames, and the raging flames continued to surge in the sandstorm, dyeing a bright red color in the sight.
"Hurry up, we will catch up with her soon." The intermittent fragments of words rushed towards the front with the sound of the wind.
Max could see a small tank approaching the giant, but at this time a huge tornado was constantly approaching. The edge of the tornado could already touch the front of the small tank. Then the large tank rushed to crush the opponent under the chassis and accelerated forward. The fuel tank of the small tank was quickly detonated, and arrogance flames emerged and began to spread rapidly inside the car. Then the large tank turned right again, leaving bulky but in time. The small tank that lost pressure completely lost its direction and was directly involved in the tornado.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The fuel tank completely exploded, and the flames swallowed the entire small tank, but before there was any time to completely explode, the car was pulled into pieces by the tornado. Boom! The explosion was dismantled into countless pieces, and even the explosion flames were swept into the tornado. The bombings were then bombed one after another, causing incredible waves of air and swept across it.
Chapter completed!
