578. Chapter 578 The 578th A-level team
In the eyes of everyone, the crew of "Iron Man" was officially launched. Because of Li Xiaole's courage shown at the press conference, the entire crew was infected by his unyielding spirit and full of fighting spirit.
The actors are still behind the scenes, and more than 800 (including temporary actors) cast members are operating like a good team.
Unlike Li Xiaole's previous movies, this time the lineup was carefully formed by Wagner and Tom Cruise through various channels. It is unprecedentedly powerful. In addition to the all-star cast, the crew's photography invited "Mission Impossible"
Daniel Mindel, the new photographer of 3, and Li Xiaole loves this future photography style of "Star Trek: Darkness".
The setter is Lee Xiaole's old Korean partner Xu Zhen, artistic director Patrick Tatpoulos (representative works "Independence Day" and "Mechanical Public Enemy"); art design David F. Klasson (representative works "Yihai Xiongfeng",
"Charlie's Angels"), Kevin Kavanav (representative work "Mission Impossible 2",); costume design Shana Milkovic Hayes (representative work "Star Travel 9", "Fight in Los Angeles"); and props
The teacher is Drew Petrota (representative work "The Big Fish" and the future "Transformers 2, 3".
These people are all current or future industry leaders at the Oscar nomination level. With the joint efforts of such a A-level crew team, the filming was extremely smooth at the beginning.
According to Li Xiaole's plan, "Iron Man" will be filmed according to the story, first shooting some scenes in Stark, Los Angeles, and the scenes of Tony Stark being trapped in the desert. Li Xiaole has long designed these scenes.
Sketch, prop group and set group are enough to completely reproduce the design drawings. It is not difficult to build while shooting.
In the current story, Tony Stark's playboy plot at the beginning, he is very familiar with the crew of this level...
However, in addition to director, Li Xiaole also has another job, which is props, the chief designer of the special effects group. This is the most energy-consuming. When the production team was shooting the cave scene, Li Xiaole led the four-time Oscar winner Stan, who won the cave scene.
Wins, Tun led his costume and special effects team to create the iron suit worn by the protagonist "Iron Man".
"Well, the production is good, but I think this angle needs to be polished a little more, it is about 0.25 cm thick..." Li Xiaole fiddled with it and placed it on the round table. The parts of Iron Man's iron suits were slightly frowning. He commented with a frown.
Take the way.
Before the filming of "Iron Man", Li Xiaole early took out the most important props needed in the movie, three sets of Iron Man's iron suits, and let the "Black Sail" team make a virtual model on the computer.
To present the real Iron Man in the camera, the three sets of Iron Man evolutionary armor needed to create realistic models that are exactly the same as the gorgeous Iron Clothes in the computer in reality. However, the first two sets are quite simple
The design of the prop team made a very good finished product with plastic models. Since these two sets of plays are not the main suits of Iron Man in the crew, the details do not need to be too high. The only difficulty is to reduce which one
Like the weight of a small tank, the general mark1 model
The standard for mark1 is to make sure that Tom Cruise and the stand-in don't act clumsy when wearing costumes. Finally, the costume weighs about 90 pounds because they have to make sure the interior of the clothes is sound, otherwise it will not be enough during the fight.
Strong. Li Xiaole also made the clothes so that all parts of them could be worn separately, so that Tom Cruise and the stand-in staff could wear them separately from the upper and lower bodies, which was more convenient for them.
In short, Li Xiaole was very satisfied with the results of the prop team stopping mark1.
The one that really appears most in the movie is the complete red mark3 shape. The prop set has been made many times but Li Xiaole is not very satisfied. It has undergone 43 modifications...
"I think this arc is the best. This has been repeatedly improved by many times. No one can feel the difference of one-fourth centimeter?" Stan Wins touched his bald head and was already a little crazy.
He felt that Li Xiaole was torturing him deliberately. How could he know the thickness of 1 4 centimeters by putting a piece of armor in his hand...!?
The design of technological equipment in this kind of movie is usually based on cool appearance and style, and the requirements for accuracy are not too high. Who cares about such small details?
This kind of steel suit is just made to take close-up shots. Do you need to be so precise?
"Well..." Seeing these props all looked complaining, Li Xiaole also felt a headache. If he just made a set of steel clothes, he would have modified it himself. The problem is to shoot Iron Man, this set of plastic.
The texture of steel clothes is not strong, and 15 units were lost in the original version. The scenes of the fighting script he adapted this time are more exciting and more, so the losses will naturally be greater. At least, the steel clothes must be replaced frequently, and they should not be filmed.
If you don’t have steel clothes halfway through, it’s embarrassing...
If these American props with rough style cannot be strictly polished according to his requirements, he will not be able to make the remaining ten pieces by himself. Only by letting them understand the truth will these props be convinced.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaole stepped forward and threw a piece of steel suit to bald Stan Wins, pointing at him and saying, "You try putting it on."
The props were stunned at first, but they quickly understood Li Xiaole's intention. He wanted to speak with facts... Let Stan Wins play Iron Man to try it out.
Although Stan Wins, who has a similar figure to Tom Cruise, thinks it is a bit ridiculous, but in order to prove his right, he nodded and put on the steel suit. Seeing Stan Wins wearing the steel suit, it was very
The crew couldn't help laughing as he looked very difficult.
After Stan Wins adapted for a while, he slowly moved for a while, but he became more and more surprised... Although this pair of steel suits is not very suitable for him because of their size, they are very easy to wear on them.
It's almost not difficult to do this...
This may not seem like anything to ordinary movie fans, but Oscar-level props like Stan Wins know how difficult it is to do this... Anyone who has done industrial design knows that it is like a steel suit.
For fitted human body equipment, it is not difficult to have a stylish appearance and coolness. The difficult thing is to make "it" move based on this.
The lines that have been covered with this armor must be fully ergonomics at the end of the interior, and require that the industrial design of the model be extremely refined. A little mistake will make the steel suit indescribable. This model of the mark3 complete steel suit is
It consists of 312 parts, any piece must be 100% perfect and superb design to achieve the effect of "beautiful and easy to use".
The first version of this director can actually have such an effect in the computer design... This is really amazing.
However, although Stan Wins was extremely shocked, he was doing "broadcast gymnastics" with a serious face on the surface, and even looked at Li Xiaole pretending to be relaxed and shook his butt. It meant "How about it, this steel suit is completely gone.
Let's have a question."
"You try jumping forward." Li Xiaole pursed and walked to the right front of Stan Wins.
Stan Wins easily squatted down on the ground with his legs together, and then jumped a small step with his legs. But when he tried hard, he obviously felt his waist stuck. The steel suit suddenly stiffened and lost his center of gravity. He was about to fall and eat shit.
...
"Be careful!" "Oh my God~" Everyone exclaimed at this time, and saw Li Xiaole dodge and grab the armor that grabbed Stan Wins' back collar and lifted him to stand.
"This is the frictional resistance generated by 1 4 centimeters thicker in this armor." Li Xiaole helped Stan Wins up and bounced the composite plastic armor path on his waist with his fingers.
Stan Wins looked at Li Xiaole in shock, thanking him for not letting himself make a fool of himself, and feeling it was hard to believe it: "This is impossible, how could this piece of armor on his waist hinder my jumping action."
The prop designers next to him also nodded with disbelief. Although this steel suit is a bit problematic, Li Xiaole's statement is a bit far-fetched. After all, if you want the props to make the movie, you must describe the Stark level in the movie.
Industrial design is almost impossible...
These props are all technical craftsmen, and they still know too little about the laws of human body movement. Li Xiaole was speechless and had no choice but to use a screwdriver to remove the armor on Stan Wins' waist and then use it in front of everyone.
After sharpening the knife and comparing it repeatedly under the light, he nodded with satisfaction, put it back on Stan Wins' waist, and looked at him and said:
"You jump again like you did just now."
"Jump again..." Stan Wins was obviously a little scared and hesitated for a moment, but in order to prove that Li Xiaole was wrong, he gritted his teeth and nodded, but begged Li Xiaole with a look of destiny and said:
"Li, you'd better stand where you were just now... and catch me."
"Just bet with confidence." Li Xiaole had already found a good seat and stood there. The props were all watching the good show with a smile.
Stan Wins shook his hands back and forth, took a deep breath several times, and mustered up the courage to jump, but he still couldn't help but stop and told Li Xiaole again: "Li~! You must catch me~!"
"Jump!" Li Xiaole finally couldn't help but yell at the harsh props master.
Stan Wins had no choice but to close his eyes and put his legs together like he did just now, jumping forward on the spot. This time, Stan wearing a mark3 steel suit, unexpectedly,
Chapter completed!
