There was not a word of truth in the man's mouth, and Dong Qiao realized this again.

She is now sitting on the foredeck of a yacht with a glass of white wine from the Leyland Estate in New Zealand, surrounded by the ocean.

On Dong Qiao's right hand sat Shen Huan, three other people sat around, and five people sat around a small round table.

The other three were all white, one of them was in his thirties, with thick hair and beard, a round face, and a very fat body, who was the target of their trip to New Zealand, director Stan Muntu, and the other was much thinner, of normal size, with a flat head, a pair of glasses on his nose, and a taciturn photographer named Lausanne Chewell.

The last person to sit between Shen Huan and Stan Muntu was a white uncle in his forties, named Roger Smith, a production manager at Meigao Pictures and a friend of Stan Muntu. Yesterday, when Shen Huan was playing, the reason why this Mr. Roger was not there was because he went to find Stan Muntu, so they had their companion to go to sea today.

And now, Shen Huan was talking to Stan Muntu in English.

“…… I always believed that 3D would be the future of the film industry......"

Although Shen Huan's English accent sounds a little weird to Dong Qiao, with a Chinese flavor and some beautiful sounds, it is not native to the United States when you hear it, but it is not a big problem for normal communication, and it obviously does not need a translator as he said.

So Shen Huan ran the train with her again yesterday.

“…… Especially science fiction movies, I think in the near future, 3D will become the standard configuration of a Hollywood science fiction movie......"

Shen Huan was trying to have a conversation with Stan Muntu, using his not very proficient English.

In fact, his English before he crossed over was not as good as it is now, and this is the result of his frenzied practice of English with a private tutor for several months. And after determining that he would play the leading role by himself, he took Meiyin as the focus of his practice, so that in the future, he could make him, the Huangpi actor, more acceptable in the worldview from the accent.

"I'm glad we were able to agree on this perception,"

The bearded Stan Muntus is much more talkative than the reticent photographer at first glance, "Actually, I've been working on it for a long time, and we've been here for over a year to develop a smaller 3D camera." Damn it, Auckland is beautiful and the wines are delicious, but when you stay here for a long time, you'll find ......."

He seemed to be not only talkative, but also a little nagging, and after some complaining, he finally got back to the topic, "You know, the 3D camera equipment is too big these days. For example, 'Bad Boy,' it weighs 450 pounds! With this guy, a lot of our ideas can't be realized, and the things that come out of it are a headache for the audience. ”

Shen Huan nodded in agreement, "Very accurate." ”

The "bad boy" that Stan Montu refers to is a 3D camera device from Tony's company that weighs 450 pounds (about 220 kilograms).

Tony Company is a super multinational group, the industry covers film and television media, games, communications, information technology information and other fields, now one of the eight major Hollywood Tony Films, is its subsidiary. In the field of imaging equipment, it is an international pioneer, almost half of the professional cameras used in the shooting of the film industry around the world come from Tony Company, and the "bad boy" is from Tony's company, and it is also the most widely used product in the industry.

A 3D camera is not the same as a 2D camera.

The shooting of 2D movies requires relatively simple photographic equipment, only one camera is enough, and the difference in photographic equipment is mainly reflected in various parameters, while the shooting of 3D movies requires the use of two cameras - this is not a multi-lens shooting technique in that kind of shooting technique, but using two cameras to shoot the same picture, so as to create a real 3D feeling.

The principle lies in biomimicry.

The 3D camera uses two cameras to simulate the two eyes of a human being to shoot the same picture, while the body of the 3D camera simulates the human brain and fuses the images taken by the two cameras with certain differences to form a 3D image.

The principle is actually quite simple, but when it comes to production, it is very difficult: how to keep the two cameras in high harmony and synchronization, what kind of spacing arrangement is appropriate, how to blend and process the image?......

These are all things that are constantly being explored, so although 3D cameras have been created, they are far from being popularized.

For example, Tony's "Bad Boy 3D" model is Tony's most sold professional 3D camera, but this thing weighs 450 pounds, which is heavier than an adult, and it can't play many tricks like a regular camera, which has great limitations. And in terms of user experience, the video made with Bad Boy 3D will cause users headaches, and even chest tightness, nausea and other physiological phenomena after watching it for a long time.

It can be said that the development of 3D photography equipment is currently relatively slow.

The reasons for this phenomenon are complex, not the least of which is the lack of market demand.

In the current film market, the advantages of 3D movies are not obvious, and there is no film that says that 3D is indispensable. The use of 3D photography technology will not produce a qualitative leap for the current viewing experience, but will cause a large increase in cost and shooting difficulty.

Costs and difficulties have gone up, but the benefits have barely been gained.

3D photography, at present, is like a concept product, a kind of gimmick.

Except for a brief boom when 3D photography technology first came out, when everyone saw this situation, they no longer chased 3D photography, but chose to return and wait and see, and only a small number of directors are still tirelessly exploring the future of 3D film.

The market demand is not hot, coupled with many complex reasons, which has caused the slow development of 3D photography equipment.

……

"But we managed to make it lighter!"

Stan Muntu said this, his expression a little excited, "We made a bad boy to 280 pounds!"

Shen Huan's expression moved, showing a very interested look, "Oh, that's really a huge leap!"

"Yes. ”

When Stan Muntu said this, his excited expression subsided a little, and he said regretfully: "But we can't find a new way to make it continue to lose weight for the time being, you know, equipment, personnel, funds...... There were so many things we were missing, and 280 pounds might be our limit, but for filmmaking, it was a bit bigger. ”

Shen Huan nodded and agreed again.

In terms of the requirements of film shooting, there is no essential difference between 280 pounds and 450 pounds.

What you can't play with 450 pounds, most of the things you can't play with 280 pounds can't play either.

After expressing his agreement, Shen Huan said again: "I think, this is also God's intention to let me come here." ”

"Roger told you too, I have a big project from American High School, a big, big one. I need you for this project, I need a lighter 3D camera, maybe I can help you. ”

Through the communication with Roger yesterday, Stan Muntu had a little bit in his heart about Shen Huan's intentions for this trip, but when he heard Shen Huan personally say that he was willing to help him, he couldn't help but be excited, "Are you serious?"

Shen Huan smiled, "Of course." I'm not very good at technology, but I have money, a lot of money, and I know good enough friends to influence Tony, so maybe I can help you work with Tony to make the right 3D camera. But before I can do that, I need to know more about your idea, and also take a look at your improved work and what it actually does. ”

Stan Montu hurriedly agreed: "Of course!" As he spoke, he took Shen Huan to the cabin to visit his improved works, during which he kept making various introductions and elaborations, but they were only superficial, and he only vaguely said some specific technical details.

Shen Huan also understands this.

And after talking on this yacht for a long time, Shen Huan also confirmed that his trip was right, and Stan Montu and his photographer Lausanne were exactly the people he needed.
