Chapter 391: Optical Painting
After receiving Lebao's legacy, Pengda entered a new round of busyness.
The product line has been expanded!
The children are happy, the credit card is overdue, and Uncle Meng's wallet is bulging!
As the saying goes, if you have money, you have to spend it.
Meng Lang felt that this sentence was very reasonable, after all, he regarded money as dung, and dung sticking to his clothes would make him feel uncomfortable.
There are many places to spend money!
Burning special effects, repairing paradises, and making second wives can all be, and if he is willing, he can even give the tool man a salary increase. Unfortunately, this can't be done.
Speculating in stocks, I picked up 230 million US dollars, deducting 100 million principal, counting taxes and messy things, I can probably leave 70 or 80 million.
This money, divided into three parts!
One was sent to the Neon branch to expand Kyoto Land, and by the way, to upgrade the latest PD membership system and hire more employees.
The other was sent to Pengda Animation, and I heard that they were preparing a big move. It's not the second season of Proof of Leadership, it's the annexation of another very strong animation company.
The last one, leave it to Ace!
As the so-called panic of burning money, Meng Lang, who made a windfall, decided to try optical painting and synthetic special effects techniques that he had never experienced before in Ace's work.
Commonly known as hand-painted special effects!
This is an art, and many years ago, due to the backward computer technology at the time, many special effects shots could not be presented.
Tsuburaya decided that an optical artist would depict the light frame by frame, and finally compose it in post-production, to achieve the first-class image expression of the time.
It's a great project!
Star Wars was probably the first to use this method. Many of the shocking scenes are presented in a way called "painting shadows".
So, here's the problem!
Since it is a product of the old era, is the expressiveness of the picture lagging behind the times when used in the works of the new era?
Technological backwardness does have!
But it's not as serious as imagined, and if the optical painting is used well, it can also achieve the effect of being fake.
For example, the Maga serpent that appears in episode 12 of Orb spits out light that the optical artist draws frame by frame. In terms of expressiveness, it is not inferior to computer special effects.
Moreover, the artist who painted the light for this episode is exactly 50 years ago, Mr. Iizuka, who painted the light for Showa Ao.
Tsuburaya really ......
If you want to reproduce this craft, you have to find the right person just because you have money.
Meng Lang has the ability to make money, and there are countless good brothers, through personal connections, he contacted the three old gentlemen who were the first to contact special effects in China and tried optical painting.
Knowing his intention, the three old men laughed dumbly.
"Now that we have computers, how can we use this outdated and thankless craft?"
"It's a spirit!"
Meng Lang said firmly: "Even if the computer light is more delicate and more economical, it is also soulless light." ”
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
The old man hesitated: "This is very time-consuming, just like you said Ultraman, if you want to achieve that kind of lighting effect, you have to draw at least a few hundred storyboards......"
Predictable!
Meng Lang had already been mentally prepared, not only these three old-timers, but he also prepared more than 30 deputies.
Moved by his sincerity, the three old-timers agreed to the errand one after another. After packing his luggage, he returned to Jiangchuan with Meng Lang.
And then, they were dumbfounded!
As the King of Light, Ace's setting and script are in his hands, and the three old-timers tremble with their hands, only hating why they want to get on this thief ship.
That's too many skills, isn't it?
There are at least dozens of large and small skills. With so many skills, not to mention the three of them bad old men, even if they add 30 assistants, they will have to draw for a long time.
"Don't worry!
Meng Lang said with a smile: "Considering the production cycle and some cumbersome lighting techniques, we will use computer special effects. ”
"That's good! That's good!"
The old-timers breathed a sigh of relief, took the setting and script, and started from the core of Metalim Light, thinking about how to start.
Meng Lang didn't interfere with them.
Regarding the production schedule, his request was simple. Make the Metalim light first, and then make it in turn according to the shooting schedule.
What skills such as disc knives, guillotine knives, timer rays, ultra barriers, cluster rays, energy light balls, etc., take your time and don't rush.
The days are still long!
In addition to the hand-painted light, Ace also set another precedent. This is also the craft that Meng Lang learned from Bai Cang, shooting with only one camera.
The benefits are obvious!
The finished film is of higher quality and more detailed. The overall look and feel is excellent, and the probability of becoming a classic has been greatly increased.
The disadvantage is that the shooting cycle becomes longer. During the filming process, the basic skills of the actors were tested very much, and it was also very torturous.
For example, a scene where the male and female protagonists break up, and the female protagonist slaps the male protagonist angrily. If it's multiple cameras, multiple cameras, it's just a good time.
What about a single camera?
I'm sorry! Even if the actor is in good shape, there is nothing wrong with the performance. After the first fan, you have to fan it a second, third, or even fourth time......
After all, the camera has to move!
The multi-camera can shoot from every angle, but a single camera can't shoot it, so you have to move to a different angle and shoot it again.
Silent mourning for the male protagonist who was slapped.
This allows you to polish from all angles of the light in one lens. The effect is really fine.
Of course, it's also very expensive!
However, Meng Tsai made a windfall, but he didn't mind spending some money to make Ace more perfect. This is Pengda's preferential treatment of the unpopular, after all, Meng Zai wants to change his life for him.
If Ace still becomes an unpopular after it is broadcast, then don't blame Meng Lang for turning his face.
He worked so hard and burned so much unnecessary money. If Ace is not angry, he deserves to be hidden by Pengda.
Not only Ace, but also Leo Eddie in the future can also enjoy the corresponding "unpopular Olympic support" policy. As long as the performance is passing, it will not be hidden by Pengda.
Ultraman has the "Special Support for the Unpopular Olympics" fund, and Kamen Rider naturally has it too. As long as it is a work that does not perform well in the original version, Pengda will spend a lot of money to support it, hoping that they can stand up.
Kamen Rider X, you say?
It's a succession of V3 and Amazon.,When people mention V3 and Amazon.,People always think of him.。
Rub the heat of the brothers!
If you want to say that it is unpopular, the three brothers of the black family are more expensive, which one is not less popular than him? If you want to support others, you also want to support others, which is the turn of Knight X to speak?
Among the Glory Seven, there seems to be no absolute unpopularity. Even knights are remembered for their tragic deaths.
Besides, the knight is a supporting role, he said that he is an unpopular, what do other knights think first, the eldest brother V3 has to pick up a knife to hack him to death.
V3 is also unpopular?
Stinky brother, can you speak?
PS: I hope the epidemic will end as soon as possible, and several surrounding counties have been diagnosed one after another, and my small county town is trembling......
