"Senior Brother Lu Man, are you free now?"

A girl from the advertising class asked Lu Man.

"Yesterday you helped Zekai and the others set up, using banana peels as slide rails, and finished shooting a set of shots. After that..."

"Zekai sent the video to our class's BBS class space, and our class's QQ chat room was all flooded. The whole class was talking about your method."

"There is a graduate assistant supervisor. The topic of his thesis is the movement lens technique. He asked us to ask about you and would like to meet and chat with you."

“It’s really eye-opening for us, it’s amazing!”

"It's an exaggeration. It's just a trivial whim." Lu Man said.

"Brother, please don't be humble. It's very difficult to break out of this fixed mindset."

Just like the German tanks during World War II, the public's impression is that tanks are high-tech products of that era. The very sophisticated engines need to burn gasoline to work. However, because of the shortage of oil resources and the abundance of coal, the Germans invented the gas power supply.

Fuel gas for stoves and tanks can even come from chopping wood.

The tank troops marching with gasifiers, coal, charcoal and even straw are a bit funny, but they come in handy. The innovation of tanks burning chopped firewood brings a strong sense of contrast with Lu Man’s banana peel shooting operation.

same.

"Senior Brother Lu Man, can you give me your contact information? I will send it to the graduate student assistant."

…

At the same time, next to the studio on the S floor, there is a photography laboratory.

Zhao Jiaquan is sitting at the square table. He is in his early thirties and is the director of this laboratory. He also teaches photography courses for graduate and undergraduate students.

In front of the square table, a circle of graduate students gathered around, waiting for him to speak. Next to him was an old man wearing a vest and a peaked cap. He was dressed as if he had just come back from fishing by the river. He was watching TV series on an MP4 player, looking like an outsider.

.

"This is a group meeting today. I won't assign any tasks. I will just chat with everyone."

Zhao Jiaquan stretched out his palm and pointed with five fingers at the old man next to him: "This is our school's retired teacher Hua. He has been involved in movies for forty years. He is now the director of the Provincial Photography Association. When he is free, I invite Hua

The teacher is here and takes time to teach everyone his experience."

The graduate students sparsely shouted "Hello, Teacher Hua". Teacher Hua smiled and raised his head to wave, then lowered his head and continued to watch the show. In the third episode of "Bright Sword", the independent group failed to seize the opportunity to attack, and Li Yunlong was pointing at Zhao Gang's nose and getting angry.

.

Zhao Jiaquan clasped his knuckles on the table: "I took you to shoot an advertisement for a scenic spot last month. The boss was generous. As long as the film is completed to his satisfaction, the hard work and expenses will be indispensable. How about the follow-up of this private work?"

"Director Zhao, most of the filming of the video has been quite satisfactory to the scenic spot managers, and the response has been good."

The graduate student hesitated and continued: "Only the rafting part was unpleasant."

"The boss wants a first-person view of the rafting ride."

"We wrapped the camera in a tarpaulin and took pictures all the way on the rafting boat."

"But the owner of the scenic spot is very stubborn. He wants a camera that is very fixed throughout the whole process."

"I said it's impossible. The camera is on a drifting boat. How can it not shake or move?"

The graduate student carefully observed Zhao Jiaquan's face with his peripheral vision. His face was expressionless and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.

"The manager of the scenic spot was a little unhappy. He took out his mobile phone and played us a CCTV advertising video."

"In that video, the camera seemed to have been stabilized and kept on the same horizontal line. The boat was bumping and shaking in the water. Strangely enough, the camera lens did not move."

"You shouldn't be full of words." Zhao Jiaquan spoke up, criticizing and educating.

"Leave three points of room to speak, and you can turn around when encountering problems, so that you won't fall into passivity."

"This is good. I have blocked myself and made people question the professional ability of the entire team."

"I'm sorry...Director Zhao."

The graduate student bowed his head and apologized. Others did not dare to say anything. Only Teacher Hua played the sound of the episode "Bright Sword", in which Li Yunlong got angry and cursed, which seemed to fit the current atmosphere in the laboratory.

For a moment, the scene was a little stiff.

"It's not easy to offend the boss. He has good relationships with many entrepreneurs. I got a lot of sponsorships and private work through him."

"Let's do this. When I have time, I will take you to visit him and apologize."

"...Yes." The graduate student was dissatisfied, with a look of reluctance on his face, but he didn't dare not listen to his instructor's words, so he agreed bravely.

"This kind of scene is very difficult to shoot, and it's a bit difficult for the children." Teacher Hua, who had been watching the drama, spoke up and defended the aggrieved graduate student, "We don't rely on advanced equipment, just relying on human arms, in the drifting little

I wanted to keep the camera completely still on the boat, but even with the three-headed and six-armed Nezha, I couldn’t get a steady shot.”

"Teacher Hua, what do you mean?"

"CCTV's advertisements are most likely to use a Steadicam."

"Oh - that makes sense." Zhao Jiaquan suddenly realized.

"Steadicam?"

The term was a bit difficult to pronounce. The graduate students whispered to each other and gave each other blank looks.

"It's only been ten years since this thing came into China, and it's only used in the film industry. It's normal if some of you haven't heard of it. I have pictures here." Zhao Jiaquan placed his mobile phone across the middle of the square table, "This mechanical vest is equipped with a spring shock absorber arm.

, it’s the Steadicam.”

In the photo, a photographer is wearing a bulletproof vest-style steel vest. One hand is covered with a bare spring metal rod and protective plate, which is connected to a SLR camera. No matter how the user moves, the camera is anchored at the same level and

at a point of vertical height.

The distant view looks like a sci-fi warrior, with a full sense of technology, like a humanoid weapon depicted in some Hollywood special effects blockbuster.

"This thing looks like the mecha in "The Legend of Masters"." Some graduate students whispered.

"That new book that just came out two months ago? Do you want to read it too?"

"Hey, when you put it that way, I also think this is a mecha, not like a photography device."

Zhao Jiaquan was not interested in the divergent fantasies of graduate students. He frowned: "The school laboratory only has a Steadicam, which is quite expensive. I have to apply with Director Dong."

Shooting advertisements for scenic spots is using the school's public resources to do private work. The money does not end up in the school's account, but goes into your own pocket, so you can't make a big deal about it.

Teacher Hua kindly reminded: “And if you use a Steadicam when rafting, if water gets in and the parts get rusty, it will be worth the loss.”

"Xiao Zhao, I suggest you not to take risks. If the demands made by others are too outrageous and cannot be met, just tell the truth."

"Oh, I have no choice but to leave it like this."

Zhao Jiaquan told the graduate students: "Think again in the next two days and use your brains to see if there are any other ways to take this set of rafting shots. Even if you don't meet the expectations of the scenic spot manager, try your best."

"What can be done about this?" The graduate students looked at each other, helpless.

Zhao Jiaquan focused on the key points: "Xiao Zhen, your graduation thesis is about the study of sports lenses. Please look for more relevant research materials and literature to see if there is any alternative operating experience abroad."

Xiao Zhen, who had high hopes from his mentor, touched his chin: "Director, something happened recently that gave me some inspiration. Maybe I can't rely on professional equipment, so I'll start in the direction of Yeluzi."

"Ye Luzi? What can the most unskilled Ye Luzi do for a shot that requires Steadicam participation?" Zhao Jiaquan shook his head, "Otherwise, why would the Americans spend a lot of money to develop Steadicams?"

"Yesterday, the students in the 05 undergraduate advertising class, the class where I am the instructor, met a folk god. How should I say..."

Xiao Zhen thought for a few seconds and couldn't think of a suitable adjective.

At this time, Teacher Hua's MP4 was still playing, and the episode progressed to Brigadier Chen of the 386th Brigade. Seeing that the Yamazaki Brigade could not be attacked for a long time, he was about to change the protagonist Li Yunlong to the battlefield.

"This kid Li Yunlong has a lot of clever ideas for fighting. He can come up with some new tricks at any time!"

"Don't mention it, he can always come up with ideas at critical moments. This kid Li Yunlong always has some creative thinking sometimes!"

"Director, did you hear the lines in Teacher Hua's player?" Xiao Zhen said nonchalantly.

"What's wrong?"
