Chapter 637: Special Effects Shots

The grandmaster-level directing skills are really not covered, removing the actor factor, and the grandmaster is free to manipulate the position of director in other aspects. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The scenes on this side of the villa were very fragmented, but even so, the grandmaster only took less than ten days to complete the filming.

The grandmaster's smooth shooting technique also allowed the actors to play well. After all, the actor also depends on the state, when the state is good, how to shoot, and the grandmaster can also very well grasp the actor's good state, as long as the actor is in the state, then the grandmaster can always use the most reasonable shooting techniques to shoot those important shots.

After the filming of the villa scene, the crew went directly to South Carolina, which is across the river from the city of Savannah.

The southeastern part of South Carolina is a large number of islands off the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, and the dense rivers here are scattered to form island after island at the mouth of the sea.

The crew will be filming all of Forrest Gump's roles in the Panamanian War on one of the islands named Fripp, and of course, in the waters off Fripp Island, all the shots of Forrest Gump fishing with Lieutenant Dan will also be filmed.

In fact, when Zemeckis was filming "Forrest Gump" in the previous life, all the scenes of the Vietnam War were also filmed on Fripp Island, and in this life, the grandmaster will naturally not let go of this place, after all, the scenery here is slightly decorated, and dozens of trees unique to the Mesoamerican rainforest are planted, which is enough to make this place a real Panama battlefield.

There is a golf course on Fripp Island called Ocean Creek, and the crew rented this golf course, and transplanted dozens of trees unique to the rainforest in one of the wooded areas, and the classic scene of running on the battlefield is perfect.

The scenes filmed here are naturally the scenes when Forrest Gump fought with the troops led by his friend Bubba and Lieutenant Dan in the Panamanian War, and of course, Forrest Gump drilled a hole and wrote a letter to Jenny in heavy rain were also filmed here.

The scene on the island was filmed in four days, and there were as few shots as ever.

But Li Maohua and Yu Jin have long been accustomed to the grandmaster's shooting techniques, although they are still a little helpless about the grandmaster's shooting of so few material shots, but the grandmaster is the director and the funder, so the two of them can only silently cooperate with the grandmaster's shooting.

When filming on the island, the field supervisor Zhang Tian had already sent a group of people to the other end of Fripp Island to set up the scene of Forrest Gump and Lieutenant Dan fishing.

Here, a very important scene will be filmed, which is the scene when the hurricane comes.

Of course, the crew will not choose to shoot when a real hurricane is coming, and the hurricanes and waves in this set of shots are all artificially created.

In the dark middle of the night, with dark clouds in the sky, the engine of a jet aircraft is placed not far from the fishing boat, and the strong wind blowing from the engine creates a rather realistic scene when a hurricane is coming.

The idea that the grandmaster came up with also made Li Maohua and Yu Jin shocked. They really didn't expect that the footage of the hurricane could be shot in such a way.

Anyway, if you encounter a hurricane or typhoon in the process of filming in the future, you can also use this method to operate.

Li Maohua and Yu Jin learned another trick.

In addition, when filming this scene, Zongyi and their classmates also came in handy.

Because when filming this scene, Lieutenant Dan's legs had been amputated, so the filming technique of the necessary blue cloth special effects was used to shoot, that is, the legs of the actor who played Lieutenant Dan were wrapped in a special blue cloth, and after the filming was completed, Zongyi and they used special effects to remove the part wrapped in the blue cloth, so that what was shown in the final film was that Lieutenant Dan's legs were amputated by Qi Brush in the middle of the thighs, which was very realistic.

Also, like the scene where Lieutenant Dan jumped ship on a fishing boat, Lieutenant Dan, whose legs were amputated, sat on the gang of the shrimp fishing boat, turned his body to face the sea, and then jumped off.

In fact, there was a gap in the gang from which Lieutenant Dan's legs, wrapped in blue cloth, were removed.

After filming this shot, the software was used to remove the piece of P that wrapped Lieutenant Dan's legs in blue cloth, and then filled the gap in the boat gang, and finally formed Lieutenant Dan who lost his legs, jumped into the sea from the boat with a water leak.

These shots need to be created with post-production computer special effects.

In addition to these shots, there are also many shots that require computer special effects. For example, the feather fluttering in the wind at the beginning and end of the credits.

The shooting method of this special effect is actually very simple, that is, a white feather is tied to one end of a transparent silk thread, and then a rotating electric fan is placed under the feather.

The wind from the electric fan blows the feathers, but because the feathers are tied with transparent silk threads, the feathers can only float in the air above the electric fan.

The camera captures the feather fluttering in the air, then Ps off the transparent silk thread through the computer, and then Ps the feather floating in the city scene, so that the combination of the feather fluttering in the wind at the beginning and end of the film is formed.

Also, Forrest Gump is received by President Kennedy in the film, how is this scene P? In fact, it is also very simple.

First, find an actor who is quite similar to President Kennedy in stature, height, and appearance, and ask that actor to shake hands with Forrest Gump.

Then use the computer to take a picture of Forrest Gump's body posture when shaking hands, and cut it off separately.

That's when the historical footage that the Grandmaster found in Los Angeles came into play.

In the footage, President Kennedy is seen receiving a white woman, doing the same thing as the stuntman did. Through the computer, the real President Kennedy met with the white woman, and then P with the handshake of Forrest Gump who was picked out alone.

In this way, a perfect shot of President Kennedy, who has been dead for many years, receiving Forrest Gump, was born.

Later, the scene of President Johnson meeting Forrest Gump was also filmed through this means.

and Forrest Gump after becoming a table tennis star, the scene when he talked to the two famous rock stars in the United States on TV was also filmed in this way.

In addition, the footage of Forrest Gump practicing table tennis during his recuperation was also very simple to film. Tom Hanks, who plays Forrest Gump, swings his racket at an empty table, and next to him, there is a metronome that makes a sound similar to that of a ping-pong ball bouncing back, and Tom Hanks swings the racket according to the sound of this metronome.

Finally, through computer special effects, the table tennis ball P was put up, and a shot of Forrest Gump playing table tennis was born.

There are many more scenes like this, but these are all things for Zongyi and his friends. However, it is obvious that after following the Grandmaster for a period of time, Zongyi also completely understood how to do computer special effects.
