Next up are Ian and Zack Galivanakis, who is scheduled to play the gay uncle, Sid has already interviewed Zack, a little-known theater comedian who is preparing to work as a voice actor for a comedy anime. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAlthough this uncle doesn't have many scenes, it plays the role of the finishing touch.

And Zack's performance in the interview is really amazing, and the kind of cold humor that is involuntarily revealed from seriousness in "The Hangover" is really impressive. During the interview, Henry, photographer Lance Arcord and others couldn't help but laugh.

Because Zach lived a relatively sloppy life and had too many sloppy beards, Vi Neil had to cut off part of it to meet the requirements of the film.

"Yes, that's good. After careful inspection, Sid was more satisfied with the makeup of both Old Man Ian and Zack, Zack's beard was retouched to maintain a sloppy but not messy effect, which is in line with the background of the character's chaotic life, but gradually improving under the care of his family.

And the role of Old Man Ian was originally played by the bald Aaron Sorkin, but Sid didn't need to have the old man shave his head, so after doing some neat treatment of the old man's hairstyle, it was fine.

And Commander Gao, who plays the elder brother, has to wear a black wig because he has a short haircut, but other than that, there is not much makeup to deal with.

The real troubles are Jeremy and Amy Adams.

Sid and Vie Neil went to the separate dressing room, where Jeremy and Amy were sitting, their faces looking different.

"I don't quite understand why, but I did as you asked for a fake nose for Amy, which made it easy to change the visual effect of her face. Vie Neill said, pointing to Amy's prosthetic nose.

"Jeremy, on the other hand, I gave him a prosthesis and raised his cheekbones, which changed the structure of his face and made him look different than before. And I painted them both with aged makeup, adding fine lines to the corners of the eyes and cheeks to make them look more like middle-aged people in their 30s. Vie Neal elaborates.

Sid looked at the two of them, and after Vie Neal's skillful hand, Jeremy and Amy, who were originally in their early twenties, not only looked like two middle-aged couples, but also looked very different from their original appearance. You can't tell where it's changed, but if you ask someone who knows them, you will never recognize it.

"Well, are you Jeremy and Amy?" asked Sid, surprised.

"No, I'm Frank Hoover, and this is my wife, Cher Hoover. Jeremy smiled slyly.

Amy Adams also smiled and said, "Hi everyone, I'm Cher, and I'm a very boring housewife who spends all day. ”

Sid turned to Vie Neil and said, "Good-Job, I can't see what they look like at all." ”

"Hehe, that's the biggest compliment to me. Vie Neal replied with a smile.

――――――――――――――――――――

Lindsay's face occupies two-thirds of the shot, her aqua blue eyes are bright and clear, extremely attractive, and the fluorescence of the television is reflected in the transparent glasses.

"The winner of the $30,000 prize is ......"

Sid stood silently behind the camera, looking at the camera.

After several rehearsals, Lance Arcord finally found the right balance between clarity and psychedelia. The clear blue picture fully shows the energy of the sun without being too hot.

After three short films, Sid and the crew have been able to skillfully handle the shooting of regular scenes, and unlike what the audience sees in the cinema, any shot that seems to be done in one go needs to be shot forward and back, and shot from multiple angles.

Sometimes a seemingly simple action requires the actor to perform several times in order for the photographer to follow the storyboard and shoot from multiple angles to achieve the desired effect.

And the main theme of "Little Sunshine Beauty" is that in a distorted and difficult life, as long as you are willing, you can find your own ray of sunshine.

Therefore, from the first shot, Sid has focused on creating a sense of abundant and comfortable sunlight through various means of lighting and supplementing light.

If Nolan and Varyt Pfister in "Batman: The Dark Knight" created a kind of bright dark world. So Sid and Lance Arcord want to create their own transparent world of "overflowing sunshine" in "Little Sunshine Beauty".

Today is the first day of filming of "Little Sunshine Beauty", and the crew filmed in a rented house in the suburbs of Los Angeles. The efficiency of the initial shooting was not very high, because in order to experiment with the light required in each lens, Sid and the camera crew and lighting team made a lot of adjustments.

And in the prologue of the opening chapter, all the actors have their own appearances. Whether it's a vista or a close-up, it takes a lot of trial and error, and it takes almost a whole day. But the effect of this is remarkable, the run-in between the camera team and the lighting team continues to improve, and Sid's goal is clearly grasped.

In the following shooting, this grasp and proficiency of the lighting greatly shortened the shooting time. And when the appearance of each character is over, after completing the clip of their initial introduction.

Amy's mother, who brings back her uncle from the hospital who has attempted suicide. And take him to meet everyone, there is also the need for manual shooting, and Lance Arcord did not hesitate to carry the camera set up by Steadicam.

In addition to the number of pieces that were scrapped because of mistakes and funny, the official content was filmed five times. Because you have to shoot from a long shot, a close shot, or even a manual follow-up, from multiple angles and distances.

After that, the first group scene.

The scene of a family of six sitting around a dining table for the first time was Sid's first challenge.

Because this scene also needs to be filmed from multiple angles, it also needs to be filmed many times. But even so, three or four cameras were put on each shoot at a time to capture multiple scenes.

Under the coordination of Sid and the camera crew, the whole scene is divided into four parts, starting with the first actors entering one by one, and after they are seated, everyone begins to discuss each other, such as the youngest daughter Oliver asking about the reason for her uncle's suicide, and the competition of the little sunny beauty.

Then when the phone was answered and the news of Oliver's entry into the finals broke, the excited little daughter, as well as began to discuss how to deal with the time conflict between the business meeting of the father on Sunday and the daughter's beauty pageant.

Until the end, everyone gathered around the table and discussed how to get to the beauty pageant. Because the actors were all standing up, the height and angle of the camera had to be adjusted. There are a lot of details and difficulties that need to be paid attention to in the whole process, and even the crew that has become proficient has been adjusted for a long time.

However, in addition to these boring technical things, there are also a lot of jokes during shooting.

For example, Gosling, who distributed the dishes, shook his hand directly and slapped the plate in Zack's face.

As soon as Old Man Ian saw the fried chicken, he scolded, but he made a mistake: "I have a grass, and I eat (chicken) again...... , no, what the hell to eat and squeeze (chicken)!".

Amy Adams walked to the kitchen with the kettle and was about to open the fridge and put it in, but ...... She couldn't pull it away after pulling it three times, and she shouted helplessly to the photographer: "What the hell is this! It's so tight, it takes three people to pull it open." ”

The field service next to it was gently pulled and opened. Girl, do you sell cute?

In this way, in the repeated running-in, it took five days to finally finish filming the first scene, the scene at home.

Then there's the theme of the film, the road trip by car. In fact, road movies themselves are a big movie genre, and there are many classic films in the past, such as "Crazy Flowers at the End", "Finding Nemo" and even "Star Wars" can be regarded as road movies in a certain sense.

In order to embark on their own journey, the characters endure various setbacks, challenges, and even unexpected blows and near-annihilating disasters along the way, but in the end, they overcome difficulties and obstacles, go through the journey and finally grow.

Although "Little Sunshine Beauty" is an iconoclastic film, it is still a spin-off of the road movie, or "Golden Fleece movie" in Hollywood jargon. The name comes from one of the greatest legends of ancient Greece, the search for the Golden Fleece, where the greatest heroes of all Greece gathered on a journey in search of the legendary Golden Fleece.

"Little Sunshine Beauty" has embarked on a journey, and Sid's film career, which has been a two-life person, has also embarked on a journey. Sitting in the camera car, looking at the slowly starting car, Sid's heart was touched in a different way.

In order to shoot in a Volkswagen wagon, especially when the car is in motion, it is necessary to place the wagon on the camera truck and shoot it. And the camera in the car, as long as you want to keep the truck moving, there are not too many other requirements. It's simpler than the shot of the car actually running in the shot.

For this, Sid also specially asked the props team to make a one-to-one model of the car they bought back and put it on the camera car to shoot. This model has fewer wheels than the real car, and all the windows are removable, because many of the interior shots have to "through" the camera to shoot the actors.

The high commander, who played the elder brother, looked around the car and found that an important person was missing, so he hurriedly wrote a sentence on the paper and stuffed it to his uncle. Zach followed the thought: "Where's Oliver?" Everyone was stunned, looked up, and immediately panicked! They actually forgot their little daughter at the gas station!
