The clip of just a few seconds with Jin Long opening his mouth wide has no beginning or end at all. However, under the impact of the high-definition picture, the shock is beyond words!
It turns out that the purpose of those water tanks is not to create big waves, but to create such an impact!
Cool, so cool!
Jin Long couldn't help but clap his hands. The virgin man put his hands on his hips and said proudly: "How are you? Are you blushing? I told you that the website I found is not an ordinary junk website. This is "Inception"
"The promotion website of "Inception". Don't you analyze and analyze all day long, what is "Inception" like? Do you want to know about this website?"
"Virgin Man, tell me the website address quickly."
"Call me brother!"
"..."
"Hurry up and call, otherwise I won't give you anything."
"...Brother Wen..."
The experience of classmate Jin Long is just a side dish for the promotion of Inception. More promotion methods will appear in the future. Now, Shao Shuaijun is taking the crew to Cardington, London, England.
Cardington is an airport in London, probably a product of the last century. It was later transformed into a photography base. A huge stage has been set up here, and almost any set can be modified on it. Since there is enough space, you can also do whatever you want.
Comprehensive testing ensures that all angles from top to bottom, left, and right can meet the shooting requirements. The crew of "Inception" took a fancy to this benefit.
Bang-dang, bang-dang, bang-dang.
The sound of machinery running resounded throughout the set.
In the big shed on the stage, there is a very strange piece of equipment. Workers are debugging it.
"What materials are used for the set? Can it ensure safety?" Standing under the steel equipment, Shao Shuaijun touched the materials inside with his hands. This set is actually a hotel corridor, wrapped in a steel frame and placed on a pulley brush system.
middle.
The pulley brush system is a large support frame that can rotate. The hotel corridor was built to shoot a weightless fighting scene. In the dream, it was affected by shallow dreams, resulting in gravity disorder and upside down. In order to make the actors in
In the standing fighting scene on the roof, the center of gravity has to be constantly changed, so a rotatable corridor can only be built here.
We also need to build a bar tilted 30 degrees and an upside-down hotel room.
"Our original idea was to have a 40-foot-long corridor, but due to problems with the angle and depth, we ended up building a 100-foot-long corridor. Eight concentric rings were placed on the outside of the corridor's wall at equal distances to make the corridor
Suspended and able to rotate. Outside the walls of the corridor, these rings are operated by two huge engines."
Special effects director Tris Cobbold continued to explain: "The speed of this rotating set can basically reach a speed of 1 minute and 8 cycles. It can ideally create a weightless effect. But we need to ensure the actions of the actors. We need a lot of wires."
to fix and lift.”
Dong Wei continued: "We originally wanted to synthesize the movements directly with special effects, but that was too difficult. So using wires, one person fixed his body with twenty wires to prevent falling, and then used wires during the post-production of special effects.
Erase. Although it is a bit more complicated, it is more realistic than the synthetic action."
"Drawing wire is a good idea, but the safety of the actors must be ensured and they must not be injured!"
"Don't worry, director, because the actors have to be bounced around in our scenes, we use soft materials to build our sets. Fortunately, when many modern hotels are decorated in the interior, the walls are made of
Covered in leather or textile. We just need to imitate this decorative style and replace the bricks at the back with soft fillings," said art director Guy Handx-Deiss.
Shao Shuaijun nodded with satisfaction: "Despite this, we still have to pay attention to whether door handles and lamps are 'fragile' and whether they can be successfully destroyed by strong force. In short, we must ensure the safety of the actors."
Filming of the hotel corridors began the next day.
Early on, Dong Wei led the action design team and began to draw wires for the actors.
"Bob, when you push the gyroscope out from the guide rail, remember the lens depth I mentioned. Don't push it too fast. I will look at the monitor later to tell you to move forward and backward." Shao Shuaijun told the photography team
To arrange the task, because it is a pulley brush system, in order to maintain the stability of the shooting picture, the camera is still fixed with a gyroscope.
Bob nodded: "For the placement of camera No. 2, we will adopt a fixed type?"
"Okay, wait and see the effect. If not, add a set of guide rails and gyroscopes." Shao Shuaijun looked at the entire set and used yellow light to illuminate the hotel so that there would be no light scattering in the hotel, that is, there would be enough light.
"Is this light too soft?"
"It's not too soft. When I was grading the color yesterday, I took a set of negatives to match the light, and the effect was very good."
Seeing that all the preparations were done, Shao Shuaijun stood under the pulley brush, once again confirmed that the actors were in place, and called start.
Aang ang ang!
The pulley brush starts, like a merry-go-round, slowly turning in circles.
Woohoo, although the speed was very slow, the wind noise it caused was not small. Coupled with the noise of the bearings, the roar of the machine immediately echoed throughout the entire set.
Shao Shuaijun picked up the safety helmet on his head, rubbed his sweat, put it on again, and then stared at the monitor intently. At the far end of the corridor, Dong Wei sat on a special seat, and as the pulley brush rotated, he held his hand
Then he held a walkie-talkie and kept instructing the actors on how to act.
The walkie-talkie is connected to the loudspeaker in the corridor, otherwise the actors would not be able to hear it in such a noisy situation.
"Ka! Jack, your position is wrong and your behavior is not natural. Put your arms more naturally and don't be affected by Wia!"
"Stuck! Leo, pay attention to the angle, I can't take a picture of your face!"
"Ka! Tom (playing the forger Eames), quickly return to your position and shoot!"
"Stop, stop, stop! Stop! Rearrange, it's too messy!"
"Okay, let's do it again!"
"Stuck! Don't worry about whether you can stand or not. Complete the action first and you won't fall!"
"Very good, this set of shots has passed, let's change to the next one!"
The filming was stumbling, but finally after a period of exploration, the actors adapted very well, and the progress will be greatly accelerated. Here, the hotel corridor filming is in progress, and over there, a 30-degree inclined bar has also been arranged, and
A vertical angle conversion device.
This vertical angle conversion is in the movie, the dream builder Eredani changed the road structure, and the formed road became vertical, changing the gravity of physics, so people will also change the center of gravity when they step on it. The scene will be in
It was shot in Paris, France, but the characters' movements were completed here, and the complete shot was finally synthesized.
"This vertical angle converter should be very useful. Allen, Leo, you guys try it out." Shao Shuaijun asked the two of them to climb up, and then Dong Wei explained the key points and started testing.
"One, two, three! Start!"
Click, the vertical angle converter started. Originally one side was horizontal and the other side was vertical, and then it immediately switched back.
"Ouch!" Ellen Page made a mistake and fell down directly, in a state of embarrassment.
"Haha." Shao Shuaijun and others laughed below. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
