The 405th episode The strongest special effects equipment was born
The staff and actors on the Star Flag Country side that Blake is responsible for, and Sun Yizou is responsible for the crew construction and financial preparation work on the Huaxia side, and the film preparation work is progressing in an orderly manner.
The time for the start of filming of "The Country Teacher" is getting closer and closer.
Peng Yichen only needs to be responsible for the construction of the film's actual shooting scene and the preparation of special effects shooting technology.
Originally, for a science fiction movie, building shooting scenes and planning special effects shooting methods was the most troublesome work.
After all, for a science fiction movie, special effects are the core elements of the film's composition.
If there is no realistic special effects shooting plan, the sci-fi scenes presented in front of you in the end are all fake and blurry pictures, and no matter how wonderful your story is, you will be scolded by the audience.
In order to make the special effects shots more realistic, Peng Yichen originally planned to combine the special effects shooting plan of Nolan in his previous life to shoot "Interstellar" and the shooting plan of "Gravity".
That is, to shoot in real life with realistic models (Nolan hates to use CG computer compositing, and likes to shoot with real scenes and real objects), supplemented by the light box projection and CG computer synthesis technology used in "Gravity".
This is the best special effects shooting plan that Peng Yichen can think of before entering the world of the plot.
But after experiencing the world of The Village Teacher, he inherited the three skills of the Supreme Consul.
The other two skills are not used for the time being, but the image technical information is of great help to the special effects shooting plan he is now responsible for.
Although at the technical level, the technological level of the Earth and the Carbon-based Federation is too different, and many of the technologies of the Carbon-based Federation cannot be directly used on the Earth.
However, the development of science and technology is often covered with gauze once, and everything is hazy and ignorant before you uncover this layer of gauze.
When you uncover this layer of gauze, you will find the infinite wonderful world behind it.
This is also the case in many cases in the development of cinematic imaging technology.
Guided by the image technology of the carbon-based federation, Peng Yichen knew that Zhou Jingqi's special effects team used the special effects shooting equipment they developed some time ago to create a primitive holographic projection equipment in just half a month.
Unlike the carbon-based federation, which can perfectly and realistically reproduce all scenes and objects anytime and anywhere, 360-degree holographic projection without dead ends.
Peng Yichen: Their holographic projection equipment alone exceeds the volume of an ordinary middle school classroom.
It can only be installed in the huge studio of a much wider sci-fi film and television base.
The projected image can only be viewed from some special angles to produce a very realistic effect.
But even so, for the 3D-max shooting that Peng Yichen wants to complete, it is already a very buggy technology.
In addition, this holographic projection equipment also stores a large number of video materials.
The four small supercomputers in the device are capable of providing random stitching and combination of these footage.
Then, according to the operator's idea, various images are constructed at will, and they are realistically reproduced through holographic projection.
With such a set of equipment, when the actor performs, he no longer needs to perform in front of the green screen without physical objects, and then carry out computer synthesis.
There is no need to be as troublesome as Nolan, before filming, a large number of special effects models have to be made, so that the actors can perform in realistic models, and then shoot.
The director only needs to describe the image in his mind, and the special effects personnel can directly generate various holographic projections through this set of instruments.
The actor only needs to stand in the middle of these holographic projections and perform.
Because this way is almost as opposed to the effect of live shooting.
Therefore, in the post-production of special effects, CG compositing technology is not used at all.
You only need to erase the props and hanging Wia with the help of the actor when he completes various supernormal actions in the sky.
It can bring 100% realism to moviegoers.
When the audience watches the movie, there will no longer be the kind of discord between the characters and the background depth of field brought about by the green screen synthesis technology, resulting in a false and dramatic feeling.
Of course, the manufacturing cost of this equipment is also more expensive than expected.
It took a total of about 180 million yuan to complete the production.
And many of the parts were bought by Zhou Jingqi and their digital technology training center before.
This part of the money has not been counted.
If you count them all, it will cost at least 3-400 million Huaxia coins to make this original holographic projection equipment.
This is also the reason why Peng Yichen did not move this equipment directly into the cinema, but only used it as a film special effects shooting equipment.
The cost of this equipment is too expensive to be popularized in a short period of time.
Therefore, he can only settle for the next best thing and use it as a killer feature to help him make a movie.
With holographic projection equipment and 3D-max cameras, Peng Yichen also spent a few days of hard work and simply transformed it.
He didn't make any groundbreaking changes in this regard.
After all, 3D movies are just a transition in his eyes, and the future development direction of movies will definitely fall on holographic projection technology and VR virtual technology.
It's just that these technologies are currently too expensive, and the size of the equipment is too large to be widely promoted.
Therefore, Peng Yichen only solved the problem of 3D shooting and projection, shooting clarity requirements and projection brightness.
And the two aspects of technology into a detailed information, arranged special personnel in the world to successfully apply for more than 200 patents.
As for the holographic projection equipment, in a short period of time, he has no intention of using this technology to sell it directly to make money, and applying for a patent will make all the features of the technology public.
As for the special effects team, those technicians who are involved in manufacturing the equipment.
In addition to Peng Yichen having them sign an extremely strict confidentiality contract in advance, the assembly of the core accessories of the equipment and the intelligent operating system in the four supercomputers were all completed by himself.
These technicians only know a frame and help with it.
Even if someone risks violating a confidentiality contract and paying a hefty fine to disclose information about the device, no one else can make it.
Wait for Peng Yichen to solve all the holographic projection equipment and 3D-MAX cameras and projectors.
It's the end of July.
In order to complete the agreement between him and Yu Jing, in order to allow "Country Teacher" to be released on the same schedule as "X-Men: First War" filmed by Foucus.
Peng Yichen's first sci-fi commercial movie must now be started immediately.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
Peng Yichen, who made the decision to start the film, called Blake, the producer who was far away in the Star Flag Country, that night.
Let him immediately hold a start-up press conference in the Star Flag Country, and then organize all the actors and crew members of the Star Flag Country to rush to the science fiction film and television base in the suburbs of Kyoto, China, and officially start filming this science fiction movie that will shake the world.
