Chapter 453: Motion Capture
readx;
The interior of this huge building, with many houses, is scattered and lined up one after another, which makes people have to marvel at the generosity of the Le Guang Entertainment Company. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The majestic houses that make people look at the sky, as well as these intriguing eaves, are all shocking.
"How much did it cost to build these?" A lot of people are a little curious...... Su Li didn't mind answering the question: "Millions...... These are all necessary investments. ”
It's also nice to be able to fix millions to this level, and some people even look at the house and think they can use these as shots for the film without some post-production modifications.
This is naturally impossible...... Although these scenery looks beautiful, if it is not modified in the later stage, it is far from the fairyland feeling of the original novel.
It is also convenient for everyone to stay in this place, and you can shoot directly in the room.
The prototypes of the houses of other sects are not far from here, just a few mountains away, Su Li plans to hand over the filming of some sects that do not have many scenes to Su Ruihan to be responsible, she has been around her for so long, shooting such a few shots should be able to meet the requirements. But if she really goes out to shoot alone, Su Li still has to tell her something.
Filming in Qingyunmen also began, this is where the protagonist grew up, and just the fact that the protagonist is here can also be filmed for about a week.
There is mainly one house here, and although there are houses on the peaks in other places, the specific houses of each peak have to be added with post-production special effects.
―――――― the first day of shooting after coming to Guangxi, it was the scene of the protagonist cutting bamboo, when Zhang Xiaofan just entered the sect, he needed to cut bamboo, and it was at this time that he met the monkey Xiaogray.
In the early morning of this day, filming began, and Xie Nan, who played Tian Ling'er, performed for the first time today, and also experienced Su Li's chilling attitude of striving for excellence...... Originally, she thought that filming would not be too difficult, but when she actually filmed, she realized that Su Li was so demanding...... The movie turned out to be so difficult to make.
After the filming was actually started, the actors who had not experienced filming in Gansu and Zhejiang experienced the bitter taste that was repeated over and over again...... Su Li is no longer a handsome, young director with an occasional smile on the corner of his mouth, but a demon...... Behind his back, Xie Nan took the lead and gave Su Li the nickname of a demon director.
This made Su Li a little helpless...... He had no choice but to say some of the bold words that he had already repeated twice before, that he wanted to make a movie that would go down in the shadows. These words have also been tried and tested, and they have mobilized the vanity in everyone's hearts. Moreover, they were also slowly able to appreciate the benefits of Su Li's strict requirements, so everyone's mood gradually calmed down.
They also slowly devoted themselves to this rather strict movie, and under Su Li's training, everyone's acting skills also faintly improved.
On this day, Sammo Hung, who can be regarded as a cameo, gave him a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart after watching some of the shooting materials given to him by Su Li: "Director Su...... I have to say, this is really the best movie I've ever seen, every character is so real. Because you invited me to make a cameo, I also read the book "Zhu Xian", and now when I look at it, everything should be like that. Moreover, each of your arrangements is quite ingenious...... When I see you, I really feel ashamed of everything I've photographed. ”
"Mr. Hong, you are serious." Su Li also has enough reverence and respect for this most flexible fat man, just think of the members of their Seven Little Blessings - Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuan Hua, Yuan Biao...... Su Li, who grew up under the influence of Hong Kong films, is naturally no stranger to it, and he likes it quite a lot.
"After the shooting, I want to stay and visit you for a few days...... I don't know if it's inconvenient. Sammo Hung made the request with some caution.
Because he thinks that Su Li is indeed too aura, and the shots he shot are simply ingenious, which makes Sammo Hung also breathtaking. He now wants to stay, take a good look at Su Li's shooting, and find his own insights. However, he thought that it was already a rare thing for Su Li to show him so much information, and now he wanted Su Li to stay with him for a period of time to study, and he was not too embarrassed, I don't know if Su Li would agree.
However, unexpectedly, Su Li's face was full of sincere smiles: "That's great!" Teacher Hong, you stay, if you have time, please help to do martial arts. ”
"Of course you can!" Sammo Hung was also happy: "Another day, you can show me those designed moves." ”
Su Li nodded: "Okay, actually, this is the most uncertain movie I've ever made." Although there are many people who like special effects in the movie, if the special effects become a pure magic weapon battle like "The Legend of Shu Mountain", and there is also light shooting, everyone will be tired of watching it. But if it is made into a fight like traditional martial arts, the special surname of the cultivator will be gone...... So, what I think is a more compromise approach, on the one hand, there are magic weapon attacks, light shots, and close combat. Therefore, the martial arts finger also needs to be level...... If you can help, Mr. Hong, it would be a great thing. ”
Su Li also patted his ass slightly, and Sammo Hung also laughed: "Of course, of course." ”
In fact, the action scenes of "Zhu Xian" will indeed be very complicated, and from the root, "Zhu Xian" is a commercial film.
Since it is a commercial film, he has to make the fight scenes absolutely excellent, and after thinking about it just now, he thought about it. When shooting into light and magic weapons, there should be more subjective shots, and at the same time, the gorgeous effects of light waves and magic weapons should be strengthened, so that everyone can not resist the attack of this special effect, and the subjective lens can also make the audience feel the fear of death and discover the fear of these cultivators.
And those melee ends, on the one hand, have to fight quite gorgeously like traditional martial arts films, and at the same time, they have to punch to the flesh, and on the other hand, they have to amplify the fighting effect. In this regard, Su Li has already had some experience in filming "Fighting Martial Arts". Through the rendering of some special effects and the cooperation of close-ups, close-ups, and subjective shots, coupled with the fast rhythm, the shock of this fight scene will also be reflected in one go.
This is Su Li's plan, but although he has made a plan, according to some simulations or his imagination, these are all difficult bones, and I believe that the filming process will be very difficult.
But hardship, time, and investment will not be within the scope of Su Li's worries, the only thing he needs to think about is to make a good movie, a good movie that surprises everyone, a good movie that makes everyone applaud and is irresistible!
―――――― this day's shooting, the first new technology was used - motion capture.
Most of the people who come here to shoot have experienced some movies, but none of them have experienced the legendary motion capture. Although most people have heard of and know what motion capture technology means, they have not participated in the filming of motion capture technology movies.
In the past two years, some movies that represent the top level of special effects, such as "The Legend of the White Snake", "Painted Skin 2", and Donnie Yen's version of "Havoc in Heaven", but the special effects scenes involved in these movies have not actually tried to use motion capture, and everyone uses makeup and CG production to make these effects.
Most of the software used in CG production is 3DSMAX, and Maya is not used too much. And this time "Zhu Xian" will use the legendary motion capture technology, which is the first time in the history of Chinese films.
At that time, "Painted Wall" also claimed to use motion capture technology...... In fact, that's just a claim, and the behemoth in it is actually just a CG product.
People who have not participated in the shooting of motion capture technology are now a little curious to look at the set of precision equipment in front of them.
The people in charge of the shooting of motion capture technology this time are mainly from the Glimpse Studio, and some people from the Burning Effect Studio arrived, who wanted to communicate with Su Li on the spot, and were also responsible for suggesting the implementation of some motion capture technology.
Many actors who were originally reading the script are now a little curious to come over and watch the beginning of motion capture technology.
Su Li was also here to watch the beginning of the shoot.
Today's motion capture technology, the effect that needs to be made is the Qingyunmen's Zhenpai Divine Beast's Water Qilin. ’
'Water Qilin' was guarding the Qingyun Mountain Gate in the original book, and it had a very keen insight, when Zhang Xiaofan passed by it, the little breath that the Soul Eater Stick gave him was easily noticed by him. The water unicorn is one of the legendary mythical beasts 'unicorn', with a blue body, scales on its body, and horns like antlers. On all fours, he has the power to devour, and there are silvery-white horizontal stripes on his chest...... These are based on some descriptions in the original book.
Su Li has seen the prototype of 'Water Qilin' in the Burning Shadow Special Effects Studio, the prototype looks beautiful, and there is a feeling of not being angry and arrogant, and the skin texture is meticulous, so people can't find fault with it.
The price to pay for building a character like this is not low, but Su Li and they have all prepared, and the model has been built, and now the difficulty of shooting is much reduced.
What is going to be done today is just the filming of the motion capture actors, who plays the water qilin is a martial artist in his twenties, and after playing the water qilin, he will also be responsible for playing several other demon beasts.
He has now put on the costume for the stunt show, which is a black bodysuit, and there is a simple helmet made of steel rings on his head, this helmet is actually a sensor, the helmet extends to the front of the actor's nose, the outline of the helmet is actually the outline of the water unicorn's head, and on the two corners above the head, there are also some signal points that are connected to the helmet more than ten centimeters above, and from those few signal points, it will become horns after transformation.
