In the pre-production and filming process, only the two special effects teams of Industrial Light & Magic and Weta Studios were serving the crew, but in post-production, in order to catch up with the summer of 2006, Duke had to ensure that the complicated and cumbersome special effects production could be completed on time, so he hired more special effects studios to join in. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Among them is the visual effects studio, which is also famous in Hollywood, although the scale and fame of this studio are far less than that of ILM, but it also has its own strengths.

However, special effects production is still dominated by Industrial Light & Magic and Weta Studios, and newcomers such as VFX Studios are more tinkering with minor details.

Like the earliest editors that didn't follow a fixed logical pattern, Duke was never a rigid person in post-production. Dawson hosts, and when it comes to important special effects, Duke encourages the special effects artists to create characters and images with a pioneering mindset, rather than just mechanically following his requirements.

This incident was also quickly taken up by Marvel Studios and Warner Bros. as a promotional point in the early stage of the film.

Industrial Light & Magic's responsible Phil on the Iron Man crew? Sanders gave an interview to Yahoo Entertainment about this.

"We were all surprised by Duke's request, and even a little frightened by the unexpected scenarios that were encouraged to be created."

"But Duke is a great director, and he knows how to motivate the whole crew, and it's a very interesting showcase." Because, even though we weren't directly involved in the early stages, we were invited by Duke early on to contribute our ideas, which was great. But that's just one of them...... We used to want to get a creative opportunity, but on this film, we were amazed at how much we were getting all of a sudden! ”

At the same time as post-production, the promotion of "Iron Man" is also gradually gaining momentum.

Of course. For the time being, there are special people in charge of these, and Duke's main job is to complete the post-production on time with quality and quantity, because after consulting him. Warner Bros. has already selected the current issue for "Iron Man", just like last year's "Batman: Time to War", the opening masterpiece of the Marvel film series, will be officially released in North America at the beginning of the summer of 06.

Perhaps it was "Heavenly Dynasty" and "Air Combat Heroes", which directly competed with "Batman: Time to War" last year, that they lost too badly, and in the end they couldn't even recover the cost. Many distribution companies didn't say anything, but privately they stayed away from this schedule, and on the first weekend of May, when "Iron Man" was released, there were no competitors of the same magnitude, and only two weeks later, on the weekend, Paramount Pictures' "Charlotte's Web", a film that Duke could impress, was released.

Warner Bros. is solely responsible for the publicity and distribution affairs, and Tina on Duke's side? Fei participated in the coordination, he didn't have to worry too much at all, how to complete the special effects production of the film excellently is the problem he is most concerned about.

Ultimately. Special effects are one of the film's biggest selling points.

In most films, the boards are shot with small VFX inputs, which are then edited together by the editors, and the sequences are sent to the VFX team along with the instructions to give them an idea of how to get into the work.

Follow-up directorial meetings often revolve around individual shooting topics, such as a character moving too fast, or where the thing is going.

Although Duke is not James? Cameron's perfectionist, but not easily satisfied, whenever the special effects department has a newly finished picture delivered to him, he always asks Phil? Sanders said. "You know, that's nowhere near what we want, it's just a preliminary qualification, remember. You guys are some of Hollywood's top VFX specialists. ”

Duke had to make choices about the shots he wanted to use or the special effects that he put together to make them work better for the whole film.

Therefore, once he gets into the working state and finds that some of the pictures he has produced do not meet the requirements of the film, it will definitely not be like James? Cameron was furious. Instead, try to take it easy, consider other suitable types to choose to replace them, and rethink before leaving them to the special effects team to make.

Encouraging innovation can also bring problems, for example, these people who are engaged in CG creation are often imaginative, and sometimes imagination will inevitably be overplayed.

At the beginning of February, the special effects team was rejected by Duke for a considerable number of production results.

For a long time, the team's post-production team privately considered this to be a misuse of digital special effects.

Digital special effects have become a standard throughout the Hollywood production pipeline, not just to solve problems and add show-off highlights, but also to create complete scenes and workflows that affect the entire film and product.

However, few directors recognize the talent of these providers, and few recognize its contribution to the success of a film, and the special effects team has been vetoed by super-directors like Duke one after another, and they don't even know what to do for a while.

Communication is the best way to resolve disagreements, and Duke took the initiative to find Phil, who was in charge of special effects? Sanders.

Originally, Phil? Sanders thought that Duke would make some harsh criticisms even if he wasn't angry, but Duke didn't, knowing full well that these imaginative wings should not be tied with some restraints.

There are many people, when it comes to CG special effects, they always think that this is a symbol of low-level, childish and boring movies, and is synonymous with the assembly line mode, but have they ever thought that CG, like the live-action shooting and other literary techniques they advocate, is also the brainchild of a group of imaginative people, and the special effects artists pay much more imagination and brain cells when making CG pictures, even far more than those who advocate the so-called "dogma95" rules.

Therefore, Duke is still mainly encouraged.

In Phil? At a brief meeting of the VFX artists that Sanders convened, Duke showed a small CG footage that was basically useless, and said to the people, "Let's not rush to deny anything, let's take two steps back and look at the whole sequence, it's in the film, how do you make it serve the story, this shot may never work again, we probably don't need this shot anymore." ”

He looked at the special effects artists and said, "But no one can deny what an imaginative and passionate picture it is, and for me, this is something that the Iron Man project is very worthy of." ”

Anyone needs recognition and encouragement, and in the crew, the recognition of a character like Duke, who is a director and producer, has undoubtedly inspired these special effects artists to have more creative enthusiasm.

Iron Man is a well-organized, well-organized project with a lot of fun to do, and Duke, while not the kind of director who loves robots, mechanics and technology, has plenty of reasons to enjoy the exciting film and his interest throughout the filming.

He graduated from the California Institute of the Arts, strictly speaking an academic director, it seems that Duke, who has experienced enough literary films in the academy, should be more inclined to literary and artistic films rather than commercial films, but in this world, who or God has made the rules, and academic directors must be literary and artistic directors?

Some people like commercial films, some people like literary films, everyone has the freedom to choose, but Duke always believes that movies are made for people to watch, and movies that can be widely supported are the movies he wants to make.

Besides, a director who makes a film and pays one for it, can he really get power in this Hollywood ecosystem?

From the beginning to the present, Duke has never been a simple director.

The easiest question, Stanley? Kubrick and Steven? Spielberg, looking at the whole world, in a wide range of audiences, who is more famous and who has a higher status in Hollywood?

Literary and artistic directors have the rules of survival of literary and artistic directors, but that is not suitable for Duke at all, if he had chosen the path of literary and artistic directors, could he have today's status?

Even if you are an idiot, you know that this is absolutely impossible in Hollywood.

After all, Hollywood is a circle that speaks by commercial achievements.

While Duke encourages the VFX artists to use their imagination to be active, the premise of the team's creation is to stay within the permitted role – a heroic character who wears perfectly fitting humanoid armor and can fly.

For example, the flight screen of Iron Man, although it was played by Robert Jr.? Downey used motion capture to shoot it, but ILM also needed to add a flying effect, and the flying scene was one of the film's many highlights.

The size of the reaction force and the pattern of the jet spark as the Warframe flew were crucial, and ILM made many versions of the effect for Duke to refer to, and after several rounds of revisions, he finalized the best version.

And Iron Man's weapons, especially those elaborate small arms, are too long ago, Duke can't remember these details, the design of these gadgets makes him rack his brains, and Marvel's support plays an important role at this time, Kevin? Feige brought Duke an Iron Man Bible - a complete list of all the weapons and props used in Iron Man for more than 40 years.

For nearly half a century, many outstanding cartoonists have designed many eye-opening and magical weapons, which have been given to Duke and weapon effects artist Adi? Granno is inspirational enough.

Therefore, the film is never the product of individual heroism, but the crystallization of the close cooperation of a whole team.

The whole post-production of special effects is very cumbersome, even little Robert? Downey's special effects suit, which was generated through motion capture, also had to be retouched several times with CG. (To be continued.) )
