1877 Overthrow

Is this scene of the confrontation between the tamers and the beasts wonderful? Wonderful.

Is this scene of the confrontation between the tamers perfect? No, it is not.

From an objective standpoint, the atmosphere and presentation of the whole scene did create a thrilling effect, but it cannot be denied that there is still room for improvement in the motion capture performance of the four stuntmen

From the perspective of the overall situation, Lan Li easily controlled the overall situation, and vividly interpreted the confrontation situation between each other, aura traction, etc., this kind of beast intuitive basic performance for the current Lan Li, there is no difficulty, the whole process is to enjoy it, and even make minor adjustments during the performance, and the extension and change of the last look is additional content.

But it is obvious that there is still room for improvement in the advance and retreat of the opponent's play. The four actors could all feel the influence of Lan Li's momentum, but unfortunately, their on-the-spot reactions were still lacking, and they were not able to grasp the opportunity to infiltrate the characters, giving the instinctive reactions of animals more ferocious and more direct presentations, and their hesitation destroyed the original beastliness of the velociraptor instead.

The rivalry is often the most intuitive comparison effect, whether it is good or bad, which is better or worse, at a glance.

The shortcomings of the four actors' acting skills and talents were still exposed, but fortunately, this scene is a picture of motion capture technology, and more needs to be captured than human details such as facial expressions and eye emotions, and the emotional ups and downs of the characters are shown with body movements, which is also the part that stuntmen are best at, and they can still keep up with the rhythm of the performance.

At this time, Lan Li was completing the communication of the performance.

"Strip away the human mind as much as possible, and react to Owen's control of the scene in a more primitive and direct way. Lan Li simply expressed her emotions through body movements.

"Because it's an instinct/ability. They have a connection with Owen, who can read their emotional shifts, and they can also read Owen's body language, which creates a situation where Owen's body language changes, and they are able to shift their attention from Owen's head to their eyes and complete the communication, but they still can't get rid of the predator/urge to use Owen as food. ”

With Lan Li's explanation, the core of the whole performance and the context of change became clear.

Brad was the first to react, "Is it because Owen's position has changed?"

Then, Brad felt that it was the three companions who cast a puzzled gaze, and he explained, "You see, Owen was originally high, his image and line of sight were projected from the top down, and when we observed Owen, we naturally put Owen in a high position; If you can, you're in control. ”

After explaining, Brad turned to look at Lan Li again, and asked with some hesitation, "Is my understanding correct?"

"Exactly!" Lan Li snapped his fingers.

For the director's lens and the psychology of the character, this shift in spatial position can often form a hint, which can change the viewing experience without lines or plot, and is also an additional supplement to the actor's performance.

Among the four actors in front of him, it is obvious that Brad has the most understanding and research on acting, not to mention whether it is excellent or not, but at least the theoretical basis is sufficient, which allows him to immediately understand the content of Lan Li's words.

After Brad finished speaking, the other three actors began to think about it carefully, and now thinking back to the performance just now, many details became logical, especially Lan Li's control of the whole scene, that kind of atmospheric and calm control, completely in the full use of space, and the invisible traction was formed.

Everyone said that Lan Li was a genius in acting.

It is very easy to praise Lan Li, anyway, now the articles and remarks that praise Lan Li have been flooded, but it is not easy to truly understand the excellence of Lan Li, because now Lan Li has entered a higher level, those performance aura, performance skills, etc. can only be understood but not spoken.

Today, a relatively simple and relatively direct performance scene made the four actors feel the control of Lan Li.

Samuel couldn't help but smile when he looked at Lan Li's gaze at this time, he recalled his worries before the start of filming, and he was still worried that their increased role might steal Lan Li's aura, but now it seems that it is not necessary to worry at all, no wonder Lan Li has always been an understatement and a bamboo in his chest.

Lan Li seemed to sense Samuel's gaze and turned her head.

Samuel smiled and bowed his head slightly, and took the initiative to ask, "Lan Li, so can Blue read Owen's body language, and to what extent should he be able to understand? I think Blue doesn't think Owen is a threat because of the huge difference in size, but Blue also knows that Owen can communicate with him, so is he still willing to use Owen as food?"

"I think it's a gradual process, remember? Our film is still a long one, and that's just the first communication between Owen and Blue. Lan Li's ridicule made Samuel laugh directly.

"I think Blue is like a 12-year-old or 13-year-old kid or a 16-year-old or 17-year-old, the specific setting can be more detailed and clear, in fact, he can read a lot of things, but not completely clear, and then he is a little rebellious, sometimes he simply wants to go with his first thoughts, but sometimes he may control himself. ”

Lan Li's explanation made Samuel bow his head slightly, and he needed a little time to digest.

"Lan Li, hey, Lan Li!" waited and waited, but found that Lan Li and the actors had already started chatting, Colin finally couldn't help it and took the initiative to come over.

Colin also stood on the outermost layer of the cage, looked at the actors who were "locked" inside, and said loudly, "I want to discuss with you, can we overturn this scene and reshoot?"

As if worried about Lan Li's anger, he quickly explained, "It's not because I'm not satisfied with the content of the performance, on the contrary, I think the tense confrontation between you is very good, extraordinarily exciting! I want to switch the panorama to present the overall feeling, just like the game of Go, you know, we can see all the chess pieces and games, and present the whole dragon, which also means that your horn relationship can appear on the screen, and the tense and exciting atmosphere must be very exciting!"

As he spoke, Colin became excited.

"Not only the panorama, but we can also mobilize the camera in 360 degrees, as if the Oriental movie is the kind of Hong Kong/Hong Kong martial arts movie, presenting the confrontation situation from a surround perspective, Lan Li's martial arts posture has a special feeling, mobilizing the relationship between Owen and the four velocrats, not to use short shots to create rhythm, but to show the relationship between each other with the swing of the camera, which is really exciting!"

Colin was almost on the verge of jumping to his feet, foaming at the mouth of his mouth about the burst of inspiration in his head, and finally Lan Li had to interrupt him loudly, "Calm down, calm down!" As if training a velociraptor "Colin, first, we need to maintain the cinematography and editing style of the whole film, and second, we can't spend too much ink on this scene, be careful not to procrastinate, rhythm is still the most important priority." ”

It's clear that Colin is the director, but it turns out that Lan Li needs to control the situation?

But it's not so surprising to think that Colin is making a feature film for the first time.

"Oooh oh. Colin nodded repeatedly, as if he had been a little hit, muttering something "I think this is good", and then stood in place and thought about it carefully, "Otherwise, let's shoot it once with panoramas and scheduling, and see the effect, I think this kind of presentation is more atmospheric and exciting than close-up editing and splicing, we can't waste your wonderful performance, can we?"

Without waiting for Lan Li to speak, the four actors behind him nodded their heads again and again, looking like groundhogs, and they all couldn't wait to express their positivity, because it could increase their performance scenes, and they naturally couldn't ask for it.

But Colin still cast his gaze at Lan Li: he needed Lan Li's nod. Although Lan Li told everyone that it was Colin who really made the decision by the crew, and this was indeed the case, Colin would still subconsciously ask Lan Li's opinion, and Lan Li would take the lead in everything.

Lan Li still didn't refute Colin's enthusiasm, nodded in agreement, and then added, "Colin, are you going to use a panoramic or medium shot? If the depth of field is different, our position also needs to be adjusted, make full use of the surrounding environment, and create a sense of picture, otherwise it will be self-defeating." ”

Lan Li is not a director, he is not a professional in this regard, but because of Edith's relationship, Lan Li still has a basic aesthetic for photographic composition, coupled with many years of performance experience, he also knows that the director's work is definitely not as simple as recording the performance with the lens, there are still many details to be carved, and in turn more requirements are put forward for the actors' performances, so he still needs to communicate with Colin.

This is what Colin is good at, he nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, let's use the crane camera to capture the picture first, see how the picture feels, and then arrange the positioning and positioning, this scene needs to readjust some positioning." With that, Colin couldn't wait to turn around and get busy.

Although it is now the end of all the filming content just now, Colin is not frustrated at all, but is still eager to try.

In the crew, dedicate yourself to your work, and you can find your own fun in any position, which is the most wonderful part.
