0230 【Pulley Brush System】
"Cool!"
Jin Long opened his mouth wide, and the clip of just a few seconds was simply headless and tailless, but under the impact of the high-definition picture, the shock was indescribable!
It turns out that the purpose of those tanks is not to create big waves, but to form such impacts!
Cool, so cool!
Jin Long couldn't help but clap his hands, and the virgin man crossed his waist and said proudly: "How is it, are you blushing!" Brother told you that the website that my brother found is not an ordinary spam website, this is the promotional website of "Inception". Don't you analyze all day long, how is Inception, do you want to know this website? ”
"Virgin article, hurry up and tell me the URL."
"Call me brother!"
“……”
"Hurry up and call, if you don't call, you won't give."
“…… Brother Wen......"
Jin Long's experience is just a small dish of Inception publicity, and there will be more publicity methods in the future. And now, Shao Shuaijun is taking the crew to Cardington, London, England.
Cardington is a London airport that dates back to the last century and has been converted into a photography base. A huge stage has been set up here, on which almost any set can be modified. Due to the sufficient space, you can also carry out a full range of tests at will to ensure that all angles of up, down, left and right can meet the requirements of shooting. The crew of "Inception" took a fancy to such benefits.
Bang, clang, clang.
The sound of machinery running sounded throughout the set.
In the big shed on the stage, a very strange device. Workers are debugging.
"What are the materials used for the set, and is it safe?" Standing under the steel equipment, Shao Shuai touched the materials inside with his hand. This set, in fact, is a hotel corridor, wrapped in a steel frame and placed in a pulley brush system.
A pulley brush system is a large support frame that can be rotated. The construction of the hotel corridor is to shoot a weightless fighting scene, and in the dream, it is affected by the shallow dream. Causes gravity to disturb. Upside down. In order to make a scene of actors standing and fighting on the roof, they have to constantly change their center of gravity, and they can only build a corridor here that can be rotated.
A bar with a 30-degree tilt and upside-down hotel rooms will be built one after another.
"We originally envisioned a 40-foot corridor, but because of the angle and depth. The final build was 100 feet long. Outside the walls of the corridor. Eight rings concentric to the corridor were placed at equal distances. Allows the corridor to be suspended and rotated. Outside the walls of the corridor, these rings are manned by two huge engines. ”
Special effects director Tris. Kobold continues: "The speed of this rotating set can basically reach the speed of 1 minute and 8 weeks. It can be used to create the effect of weightlessness ideally. However, it is necessary to ensure the actions of the actors. We need a lot of Wia to fix and lift. ”
Dong Wei continued: "We originally wanted to directly combine the special effects, but it was too difficult. So with WIA, a person uses twenty to fix the body to prevent falling, and then erase WIA during the post-production of special effects. It's a little more complicated, but it's more realistic than the synthetic action. ”
"It's a good way to hang Weiya, but you must ensure the safety of the actors, don't get hurt!"
"Don't worry, director, because the actors are going to be bouncing around in our sets, and we use soft materials to build our sets. Luckily, many modern hotels nowadays have walls covered with leather or textiles. We just need to imitate this décor style and replace the bricks in the back with soft fillers. "Art director Guy Handix. Days said.
Shao Shuaijun nodded with satisfaction: "Despite this, it is still necessary to pay attention, for example, whether the doorknobs and lamps are 'fragile' and whether they can be successfully destroyed under strong force, in short, we must ensure the safety of the actors." ”
Filming in the hotel corridor began the next day.
Early on, Dong Wei took the action design team and began to hang Weiya for the actors.
"Bob, when you push the gyroscope out of the rail, remember what I said about lens depth. Don't push too fast, I'll look at the monitor to tell you to move forward and backward. Shao Shuaijun assigned the task to the camera crew, because it was in the pulley brush system, in order to maintain the stability of the shooting picture, the camera was still fixed with a gyroscope.
Bob nodded: "The placement of the second position, we will take a fixed type?" ”
"Yes, wait a minute to see the effect, if not, add a set of rails and gyroscopes." Shao Shuaijun looked at the entire set and used yellow light to illuminate the hotel, so that there was no light scattering in the hotel, that is, there was enough light, "Is this light too soft?" ”
"It's not too soft, but when I was grading colors yesterday, I took a set of negatives with light distribution, and it worked very well."
Seeing that all the preparations were done, Shao Shuaijun stood under the pulley brush, confirmed that the actors were all in place, and shouted to start.
Aung Aang!
The pulley brush starts, like a merry-go-round, slowly spinning in circles.
Woo, although the speed is very slow, but the wind is not small, coupled with the sound of the bearing, suddenly echoed the roar of the machine throughout the set.
Shao Shuaijun picked up the hard hat on his head, rubbed a handful of sweat, put it back on, and then stared at the monitor intently. At the far end of the corridor, Dong Wei sat on a special seat, with the pulley brush turning, holding a walkie-talkie in his hand, constantly instructing the actors how to act.
The walkie-talkie is connected to the loudspeaker in the corridor, otherwise the actor will not be able to hear it at all in such a noisy situation.
"Cards! Jack, you are in the wrong position and acting unnaturally, put your arms in a natural way, and don't be influenced by Wia! ”
"Cards! Leo, watch the angle, I can't take a picture of your face! ”
"Cards! Tom (as Eames, the Forger), hurry back to your place and shoot! ”
"Stop, stop! All stop! Re-choreographed, it's too messy! ”
"Alright, do it again!"
"Cards! Don't pester whether you can stand or not, complete the action first, and you won't fall! ”
"Very good, this set of shots is over, change the next one!"
The filming stumbled, but finally after a period of exploration, the actors adapted well, and the next progress will be greatly accelerated. Filming took place in the hotel corridor here, and over there, a 30-degree angled bar was also arranged, and there was a vertical angle conversion device.
This vertical angle conversion is in the movie, the dream builder Eridani changed the structure of the road, and the road formed became vertical, changing the gravity of physics, so people will also change the center of gravity when they step on it. The scene will be shot in Paris, France, but the action of the characters will be done here, and the final shot will be combined.
"This vertical angle converter should work very well. Alan, Leo, you test it. Shao Shuaijun asked the two to climb up, and then Dong Wei explained the main points and began the experiment.
"One, two, three! Begin! ”
Click, the vertical angle converter activated, originally one side was horizontal, the other side was vertical, and then immediately transformed.
"Ouch!" Allan. Peggy made a mistake and fell straight down, embarrassed.
"Haha." Shao Shuaijun and the others laughed below. (To be continued......)
