Although the producer team led by Henry is experienced, Sid still has to ask about the situation, after all, it is not the kind of "Little Sunshine Beauty", and the crew adds up to a small team of less than 40 people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The problems faced by a medium-sized crew of more than 100 people are completely different from the past, but this is also beneficial. Under this pressure, Sid grew rapidly, combining his previous experience with the North American way of doing things, and quickly gained the right shooting experience.

"Well, everything is going well, after all, we are in Canada, not the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Henry laughed wryly.

"That's good. Sid nodded, moving on to the next topic, and the production meeting quickly went through all the issues under Sidley's vigorous and swift operation.

Whether it was the technical problems related to the shooting or the production problems related to the logistics, they were all quickly pushed forward by Sid. After an intense and productive meeting, Sid was finally able to focus on everything related to filming. And the rest of the chores were left to Henry.

"Well, it's nice here. Sid looked at Orlando Bloom's pale zombie makeup with satisfaction, because he had Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt's looks in "400 Years of Love" as a reference, so Vie Neill quickly drew the desired effect on Orlando Love.

And at the level of Verne Neel, the pale but more inhuman handsomeness described by Sid is also depicted, and as for blue contacts and the like, of course, there will be no shortage of them.

"By the way, Orlando's zombie makeup after that is not set in stone. With the revival of love, the white on his face will gradually return to flesh color, the process should not be too obvious, but it must be felt by the audience. Sid made a seemingly contradictory request.

After thinking for a moment, Wei Niel nodded: "OK, if it's just a change in tone and gloss, it's not too difficult, I'll make a few samples as required, and you can choose them when the time comes." ”

"Yes, okay. And then there is another point, Orlando will be dressed as a human by the heroine in the later stage of the film, after entering the human city. Before Sid could finish his words, Vie Neel understood.

"Are you saying that on top of the white makeup, you should put on the kind of flesh-colored makeup that looks like a layman's painting?"

"Not bad. Sid nodded, "And don't be too even, it's better to be deliberately a little uneven." ”

"That's fine. Vie Neale agreed.

Then it's time to look at the heroine Reese Witherspoon's makeup, "En......" Sid scratched his head, obviously not very satisfied with Reese Witherspoon's makeup in front of him.

"The hair doesn't feel right. Sid said.

Although Reese Witherspoon does have blonde hair, her hair is soft and delicate, so she doesn't have a lot of volume. This can be seen in her famous "Legally Blonde".

"What's wrong?" the stylist asked.

"I wanted that airy and fluffy hair, and I wanted to tone up the blonde hair a little bit brighter, and now there are too many dark parts. When the light hits, Reese is like an elf with silky blond hair. Sid said as he put his hands in Reese Witherspoon's hair, showing the hairstylist the need for the fluffy wavy feel.

"OK, I see. The stylist nodded.

――――――――――――――――――――

"That's fine, right?" asked Sid.

"It's not a big deal, our Arley camera is very powerful, and it turns Orlando's eyes blue to the horse, little Case. Lance Arcod gave a thumbs up.

"Okay, now that you're ready, let's start the first one. After two days of on-site running-in, the crew of "Warm Corpse" can finally start official filming.

Nearly half of the scenes were filmed here for the airport scene, which is an abandoned airport in the suburbs of Toronto, and has also been the filming location of many crews. And now as the location of the protagonist R, the first shooting is a series of scenes where R and a group of zombies wander around while monologging.

This is a very good opening for the start of "Warm Corpses". The performance is simple, the group drama is the mainstay, and there is no need to speak, and the inner monologue of the protagonist R must be done in the studio later, so it can also make Orlando Bloom warm up.

And the quality of Canada's group performances is also much beyond Sid's expectations, although they are just some zombie characters who don't even have lines, but for some zombies with backstories set by Sid, the actors are unexpectedly dedicated to their performances. Probably this is one of the reasons why Canada became an important location for Hollywood.

In terms of shooting, although this airport is definitely different from the original film, after all, it is "an airport more than ten years later", but according to the similar scene effects in their minds, Sid and Lance Arcard quickly determined the order of shooting. Generally, it is better to shoot more introductory shots in these opening scenes, which allows more choices when editing in the post-production.

But the original film of "Warm Corpse" is in Sid's mind, so what shots are needed and how to match them to achieve the comedy and black humor effect of the opening. He had all the drafts, so when it came to framing, Sid didn't design too many shots that he didn't need.

At the same time, he also asked Justin Lin to list the required shots in order and directly prepare for future editing.

In this way, the filming of the first two days revolved around the appearance of the protagonist R at the airport, and the multi-person scene that appeared as the last tall grass in "Little Sunshine Beauty" will come as soon as it opens. If there's any good news, it's that the characters in this multiplayer scene are all faltering zombies, which greatly reduces the chance of mistakes.

At the same time, in order to speed up the shooting progress and grasp the shooting effect, Sid used a one-time multi-angle shooting this time. In other words, in general, in order to shoot an action from multiple angles, the actor needs to perform the same scene again and again according to the number of angles.

This time, in addition to using a large Alexa camera, Sid also asked the camera crew to use a crane-arm camera and a small handheld camera to try to get the medium, close-up, and even close-up shots at once. This is not only to save time, but also to better capture the actors' performances. After all, not everyone is Robert De Niro, and when shooting repeatedly, he can still handle the emotional performance so well every time.

However, this also puts forward higher requirements for the camera crew, in the design of the lens position, when several cameras move with the actors, they should also pay attention to the position angle between each other, and cannot block each other and go through each other. It was a bit of a run-in, but both Sid and Lance Arcord knew it was necessary.

After all, it is still dealing with small and medium-sized investment films, and if you really want to start shooting big-budget films in the fantasy film plan in the future, the technical difficulty will only increase. Time waits for no one, and any hard work will be rewarded.

"Uh, hungry!" Orlando Bloom said with a whimper, to Rob Cordrey, who played his friend M.

"SI, the city. Rob Cordrey also asked his tongue for a long time to spit out the word.

"OK, Cut!" Sid shouted in satisfaction as he took off his headphones.

After two days of shooting, Orlando Bloom has begun to gradually enter the "zombie state", and the experienced Rob Caudrey is also very interested in this kind of heterogeneous comedy role that is rare in the film.

After completing these separate shots of the protagonist R's opening, the next step is the story of R bringing the heroine Julie back from the scene of the attack. Because this is a medium-sized shot with multiple scenes, Sid can't shoot in order like the first two films, so the production cost can scare you to death.

So before filming the scene where the hero and heroine "meet", let's shoot the footage of the heroine. Sid rubbed his fingers, Toronto in August was fine, it was just approaching autumn, and there was no real chill yet. If it drags on for another two months, everyone will have to shoot the same as the original film, wrapped in coats to make a movie.

"Is the light okay?" Sid asked Lance Arcord, because Toronto has a higher latitude than the United States, so the hours of sunshine are long, and the intensity is good, it is simply sunny. But what Sid needs is the gray texture of the end times, so it definitely needs a lot of post-production adjustments throughout the film.

"No problem, I've already adjusted the initial lighting and color tones. Lance Arcard nodded.

"So. Sid snapped his fingers.

Justin Lin immediately rushed in front of the actor, picked up the electronic card game and said, "Game 35, the first time, start!"

Then a bunch of toddler zombies walked forward, the protagonist R walked at the back, and all the funerals didn't notice was that there was an "uninvited guest" in their team, a human!

Reese Witherspoon, who has re-dyed her blonde hair, has chocolate "carrion" on her face. She was a little "shocked" to look at the zombies all over the street, and R, who saw that she couldn't move, pulled her into the airport semi-forcedly.

What's the difficulty here, the next thing is the challenge.

In the battle between Reese Witherspoon and the zombies, the long-pole chainsaw used as a prop has been prepared, although it looks like a real chainsaw that can turn in the movie. However, for safety and ease of operation, it is a lightweight material specially made by the prop set.

"Reese, do you remember all the moves?" asked the action director.

"Yes, no problem. Reese Witherspoon nodded, "The striking action should be 20 centimeters away from the person, and the movement should be appropriately large." ”

In order to shoot the few action scenes in the film, Sid specially invited several action stunt directors to train the main actors and important supporting roles in order to be accurate and safe in the action scenes.

"Alright, let's get started!" Sid said, holding the bullhorn.
