At the beginning of July, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" was officially launched under the operation of Robert Zemeckis.

The Disney cartoon kingdom of the golden age of Hollywood in the forties of the twentieth century is used as the background of the story.

The staff of Blue Sky Animation Studio also followed the crew of Robert Zemeckis to shoot, and some of the main characters and animated characters needed the help of Blue Sky Animation Studio to complete.

In order to complete this animated and live-action film, Lester also hired an industrial light and magic special effects room and special effects artists from Blue Sky Animation Studio to work on special effects.

The combination of live-action and animated films may be very easy to accomplish in the 21st century, but in the technological situation of the 80s, it is very difficult to complete without preparation.

Just to prepare for the photoshoot, shooting from various angles took Robert Zemeckis a lot of time, and even more than half a year, including the latest technology in the 80s.

Roger the Rabbit's entire outfit was originally designed to be so bad that Lester rejected it and redesigned it with a whole outfit that was pleasing to the eye.

The start of the crew of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" also attracted the attention of some Hollywood reporters, and Robert Zemeckis, who can produce box office power, is naturally the object of their interview, and they have asked for an interview.

Seeing that the reporters were so enthusiastic about director Robert Zemeckis, Dimes also regarded it as a pre-promotional preparation for "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", and released a little news to let everyone know that this drama was being filmed.

The Ministry of Information, the Hollywood Reporter and the Los Angeles Times reporters received a call from Dimes and arrived early.

didn't make them wait long, Robert Zemeckis was led by the staff and was interviewed by reporters.

"Thank you all for your kind interview. ”

Before Robert Zemeckis could speak, he teased with a smile on his face, and the reporters couldn't help but smile.

"Director Robert Zemeckis, is your "Who Framed Roger the Rabbit" a script written by Mr. Lester, or is it a combination of live-action and animation, do you think this way of filming is feasible?"

The Hollywood Times reporter was the first to ask the words of other reporters.

After the reporters probed, they had already learned from Dimes that this was a film that combined live-action and animation.

When the other reporters saw the Hollywood Times reporter preemptively asking questions, they could only look at Robert Zemeckis with curiosity.

"Very doable. ”

Robert Zemeckis looked confident, not asked by the reporter's words, and listed in detail the technological progress of today's shooting,

The reporters listened attentively to Robert Zemeckis's words and wrote him down.

When Robert Zemeckis finished speaking, the San Francisco reporter hurriedly asked: "Mr. Robert, listening to you say this, it is completely possible, since "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" was written by Mr. Lester, why didn't he direct it himself." ”

"Yes, in terms of time, Mr. Leicester at that time had not yet directed "Die Hard", and he had completely that temporality. ”

The Los Angeles reporter wittily followed the San Francisco reporter's words.

"Then you're going to ask Mr. Leicester, and I think that's a topic that only he can answer. ”

Robert Zemeckis had a deep look on his face and said very official words.

In the face of the reporter's words, Robert Zemeckis answered one by one, until the end of the press conference, and then re-engaged in the operation of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit".

At this time, Lester left the Golden State Comic Con by train the next day, and the exhibition for several days did not have much time to stay there, and left the matter to the staff of Asuka Films.

Back in Los Angeles, Lester didn't immediately restart, did a few things at the company, and drove to Disney's Cartoon City.

The old Disney Cartoon City swept North America as early as the 40s and is one of the classic buildings in North America, which shows how far-sighted Walt Disney was at that time and built the Disneyland that is well known in North America.

Although Disneyland is not yet popular in the country, it is not far from the theme parks of the world.

Lester walked slowly towards the crew of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", while looking at the surrounding paradise and the crowd walking around and playing.

After walking for fifteen minutes, Lester walked to Disney Cartoon City, where he was led by his assistant in the direction of Robert Zemeckis.

Lester was greeted by the crew passing by the roadside, they were all Robert Zemeckis and Dimes pulled over from left to right.

Although some of them don't work in Flying Bird Film and Television, they know Lester to some extent, and although their tone is restrained, they will come up to greet them warmly.

Lester greeted them one by one, and when he walked in, he saw Robert Zemeckis directing actor Charles Fleische who played Roger the Rabbit.

He will be played by Roger the Rabbit, filming with Bob Hoskins, who plays the lead role.

Chris Wetch, who is the producer, is also there, holding a storyboard drawn by Robert Zemeckis to communicate with the special effects artists of Industrial Light & Magic and Blue Sky Animation Studio.

"Mr. Lester, why are you here? ”

Robert Zemeckis finished explaining what he had to say to Charles Fresche, and greeted Leicester when he was led down by the makeup artist to get dressed.

"Aren't I welcome to come to the class?"

Lester's face was blank and serious.

"Very welcome. ”

Robert Zemeckis smiled, not frightened by Lester's face, heard the joke in his words, and shook Lester's hand warmly.

"Show me around. ”

Lester looked at the busy crew and made a request to Robert Zemeckis.

For half a year, Lester didn't ask about the operation of the crew of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", and this time he came over to watch the new shooting with some curiosity.

"Let's go!" Robert Zemeckis walked with Lester next to the equipment he was about to shoot, chatting with Lester and introducing the equipment he had prepared.

After looking at the equipment for filming, Robert Zemeckis took Lester and Christwich and other special effects artists to analyze the special effects of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit".

With Lester's initial proposal, it was easy for the special effects artist to come up with a solution, and although the people in the two studios didn't know each other, they were very serious about special effects.

Lester breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Chrweich quietly solve the problem of the two special effects artists.

With Chris Wetch as the producer, there is no Leicester business, and after communicating with Chris Whitch and others, he left the crew of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit".

The filming of "Die Hard" continued after Leicester's return, walking around the filming location.
