Lance watched every move of the actors, but he didn't express his opinion. It's one thing for www.biquge.info to know when he was in Los Angeles, it's another thing to feel when he went to Namibia, even if he was mentally prepared, he still felt the impact, let alone others? I believe that with the advancement of filming, everyone will change.

Looking out of the tent window, the sandstorm seemed to have stopped, the sand particles floating in the sky seemed to disappear in a blink of an eye, the sunlight refracted on the long red sand was becoming more and more intense, and the body could even clearly feel the temperature slowly rising, and by noon, I am afraid it would be even hotter.

Lance took off his leather jacket, which was originally meant to protect him from sunburn, but now he was covered in sweat like plastic wrap. It seems that the temperature difference between morning and evening is a problem, and the scorching sun is also a problem. Lance quickly took out a pen and paper and jotted them down.

In the blink of an eye, the tent was full, and more than thirty people gathered together, bustling with little bustle, but crowded together, and even difficult to move, and not only that, but the outside of the tent was surrounded by three layers of honey, and it looked like a beehive—just as all the worker bees had returned from collecting honey.

Everyone was chattering and discussing, obviously not everyone had the opportunity to go to the desert to shoot a film on the spot, and the freshness of the experience kept everyone in a state of euphoria, but at the same time a little restless, and the strange unknown and potential danger clearly filled the air. So, everyone was talking, trying to share their inner emotions with their peers.

Lance raised his right hand high, tried to speak twice, but was unsuccessful, turned his head to look at the others standing outside the tent, at this time the windows were already crowded, only the blue fragments of the sky could be seen, no one knew when the next wind would come, so Lance took a deep breath, and he could only roar, "Shut up!" Crisp and violent, like thunder on the ground, the whole tent fell silent in an instant, and everyone looked at Lance in panic and dismay.

"Shut it all! It's not a slumber party for junior high school girls, so if you have a problem, I'll talk about it when I go back to the dormitory at night, so I'm/shut up now! Lance's words were unceremonious, and the last bit of agitation in the tent calmed down, and suddenly it became silent, and even the trivial sound of sand hitting the outside of the tent could be clearly heard.

"We'll start rehearsing later, and we'll shoot the first scene this afternoon,......" Lance had just said his first sentence, and Hayden Hunter interrupted, "but ...... "But everyone is not familiar with the desert conditions, and it is really embarrassing to go straight to the shooting in the afternoon." However, Hayden didn't have a chance to finish his sentence, and Lance turned his head and glared at Hayden viciously, Hayden usually likes to argue with Lance and express his opinions, but he always knows clearly when to speak up and when to shut up. Now, for example, Hayden keeps his mouth shut.

"Next, I will explain to you in detail how this work is going to be filmed, and please feel free to interrupt me to express my comments on the technical aspects of the filming, but other than that, talk less and listen more. When the crew starts filming, I don't want to see anyone still confused and don't understand what we're doing. Although Lance didn't say "otherwise", the simple sentence still made the staff present shiver - even in the desert heat.

There was no need for Hayden to remind him, and Lance also knew exactly how difficult it was to shoot. But what they need now is not to question or worry, but to turn all the pressure into motivation, to really put into the work, to try to overcome the difficulties caused by nature with the spirit of rising to the challenge. So, Lance needs everyone to have confidence and not be full of doubts before filming begins.

Lance turned his head to look at the whiteboard behind him, on which eight storyboards were already placed, "The whole film will be shot in chronological order of story development, making sure that our entire crew can stay on the story line and not make mistakes." The first scene is Max's appearance, and we'll shoot a chase scene that takes less than fifteen seconds, and then Max is successfully hunted by the scavengers. Complete. ”

After a simple introduction, Lance pointed to the first storyboard, "We will use a wave to shoot the whole scene, except for a few close-ups and special shots that will be reshot afterwards, all the scenes will be shot in one go." There was a gasp inside and outside the tent, even people like Adriana who had no filming experience knew how difficult it was, even those core members who had long known Lance's calculations still couldn't help but beat their hearts faster at this time, especially after visiting the desert scene, this tension became more and more obvious, "First of all, a camera will be set up here to capture Max's back, push from the middle scene to the close-up, and then pull back to the middle shot, and wait for Max to drive away, gradually rise and become a panoramic view, Condescendingly capture the full picture of the entire chase that follows. ”

Lance pointed to the first storyboard and began to explain. In the middle of the picture is a small hill, below which is an endless red desert, on which is a rusty retro car parked, and next to it stands a majestic man; He then points to the second storyboard, and the scene changes to the side, with the car at the far end, the man at the near end, the hills on the left, and the desert on the right.

"Secondly, there will be a shot here, all in close view, aiming at the position of the tires," Lance pointed to the side view of the hills and the bite line of the skyline, "We will first capture the footage of Max driving down the mountain, and when the scavengers appear, they will fly by, there are cars, there are motorcycles, I need the stuntmen to take the car into the air, this shot will capture the sky between the tires of the car and the ground, and the curve of the mountains......"

That's what's great about storyboarding. In the third sketch, the top half is a huge tire, the middle is a washed blue sky, under which the rolling mountains are outlined, and the bottom half is a gravel hill. You don't have to imagine it to know that the effect created on the big screen will be even more stunning.

"When we drive down, this camera will also capture the full view of the chase from this angle." Lance quickly explained, and then came to the fourth and fifth storyboards, "Both of these positions are panoramas, but the difference is that this panorama is a frontal protrusion, mainly capturing the grandeur of the dust, and I need to position the camera a little higher to make the car look smaller, and the hills and mountains behind it more majestic; And this panorama is on the side, aimed at the vastness and vastness of the chasing convoy, seven cars, four motorcycles, and when they get closer, it becomes a close-up ......"

Lance quickly pointed to the sixth storyboard, "The chase will end here." Lance pointed to a point on the storyboard, "The chasing car behind will knock Max's car over, and it is best if the car can flip in the air, but it is not a hard requirement, it mainly depends on the performance of the stuntman." The main thing is that all the teams must lock their tires and raise the dust as much as possible, don't worry about the dust blocking the camera's vision, and do their best to get the dust up. ”

Then back to the fifth storyboard, "Here, the camera will become a close-up, connecting to the ......" The seventh storyboard, "Here, the camera is mainly in the middle shot, recording in detail the footage of the car constantly tumbling, and then the whole car is buried in the sand, the camera begins to move forward, from the medium to the close-up, Max will climb out of the sand, at this time the camera follows Max's movements backwards, staying in a close-up position, and the scavengers swarm from all directions and quickly subdue Max. This scene is over! ”

As soon as the words fell, someone raised their hands, and Lance saw that it was Hayden, Lance nodded his chin, and Hayden immediately said, "Two questions, where does the chase end, how can this be controlled?" It's cars after all, and who knows how they'll roll? The photographer stands in this position, in case the miscalculation during the tumble and runs over, what do we do? Also, the camera is here to capture the medium and close-up, Max has to climb straight out of the crash scene, and the problem is, this scene has to be shot by a stuntman, how do you climb out? There's no end to switching here. ”

"Number one, and that's the main thing about the morning rehearsal, where the stuntmen do the rehearsal, and then we are given a safe range, and the cinematographer puts in the work; Second, after the car drives down the hill, I will do a camera switch, the stuntman and I can complete the driver switch under the hill, I sit in the passenger seat, and when the car rolls over, I climb out of the passenger seat. Lance's explanation was swift, and the stunned expressions of everyone inside and outside the tent grew louder and louder, almost impossible to hide.

Lance said it so lightly, but everyone knows the dangers. Not only does Lance have to be in the passenger seat and experience a car accident - the car will roll in the air; It was also necessary to perfectly control the state of the car falling and make sure that the passenger seat would be facing the side of the camera lens. It's a big challenge for everybody, and everybody, especially Lance, who is the lead actor, has to go through a car accident and put in the act, and that's pretty ...... Mission impossible. But Lance was so calm.

Lance didn't say anything further, as if he had just said something as simple as he could have been, "Anything else?" ”

Before the words fell, the inside and outside of the tent raised a piece of arms, and Lance secretly exhaled in his heart, and on the surface, he was silent, and called by name, "Newton! ”

Newton-Siegel said directly, "What about the lights? In the desert, it's too difficult to light because the position of the sun changes all the time......"

"Natural light." Lance interrupted Newton, "The lighting crew starts metering after the meeting, and we need to shoot in fifteen minutes, and you tell me what time is the best time for the lights, and we'll start shooting at any time." The amount of information was a bit large, and Newton was dumbfounded, but Lance continued to turn his head, "Who else?" (To be continued.) )
