His physical condition is very superior, and his brain is very good, which also makes him much more dangerous than other criminals. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info [Fengyun Novel Reading]"

Standing at the door of Warner Studios, Duke answered some questions about the film's villains from the hordes of reporters, "In deciding what kind of opponent we should put on Batman, my team and I realized that there had to be an imperative shift here, which was to choose a villain who was very different from 'Joker', but with the same powerful means and background......"

Now that the news silence has been broken before, Duke doesn't mind saying a few more words, "First of all, this person needs to be able to talk to Bruce who transformed into 'Batman'?" Wayne has a physical struggle, and all of these things don't need to be considered or touched upon in the first two films, because I really want to see our protagonist face an evenly matched opponent, even mentally and incompatibly. Bane shows us a very primitive power, and he has a blind obsession and fanaticism for what he is doing, and only death can stop him. ”

Entering Warner Studios, Duke did not go to his office, but went directly to a styling design studio, where several designers were working on the design and production of Bane and Catwoman's outfit.

When designing Bane's costume, Duke wanted to create an effect that looked like a 'patchwork of amalgam', because Bane had come from far away, his vest was partly cut out of an old military tent, and his clothes were militaristic but by no means uniform.

Of course, Bane's most striking decoration is the menacing mask on his face, which needs to be tightly strangled around his face. It was a device that constantly injected painkillers into his face, and this physical torture was derived from the injuries he had suffered in the past, when he had been in a desperate situation.

"He lives normally on this mask, and you said he carries his past full of shame and hatred. His face reminds him of this all the time, and it makes him a real monster. ”

Standing in front of one of Bane's masks, Hannah in charge of here? Serena said to Duke, "So, we designed the mask to be very animalistic. It looks like a strong contrast to Batman's mask...... And it can't be black. ”

The masks were made by the costume effects team, and also according to the Dawn ? Johnson's face and skull were digitally modeled.

Costume effects supervisor Graham? Cheziade explained to Duke, "For us, Bane's mask had to fit like a fake skin. However, it doesn't exactly look like fake skin, it looks like it was designed out of a metal mold. We take advantage of the Dawn? Johnson's computer-cast modeling, using a diorama method to make each piece of hard block, then fits it to the outline of his head so that the mask is tightly attached to his face. There are no gaps. ”

From Dawn? Judging from the actual effect that Johnson wore when shooting stills, it is not the most appropriate to describe it as airtight.

The mask clamped down on Dawn like a vice? Johnson's head, with his cooperation and patience, the costume effects team couldn't have tightened this mask any more.

There is a magnetic removal plate on the front of this mask, so the visible part of the mask has a series of magnets underneath, and there is also a rubber seal under the magnet, which completely isolates the air like a sealed jar and is firmly embedded in the Dawn? It takes courage to wear it in Johnson's skin. Not to mention acting with it on, it's already unbearable to listen to.

But that's part of the job of a Hollywood actor.

Bane's mask is far more functional than formal, and Selena? Kyle wears a mask that combines function and aesthetics.

Compared to Bane's equipment, which has already entered the production stage, Catwoman's preparation is still stuck in the design.

Took a turn in the design room. Duke sat in front of the computer and looked at several concept drawings designed by the costume effects team, but he was not too satisfied, especially the shape of the pointed ears, which showed the characteristics of the cat too much.

Will he Hannah? Serena and costume effects supervisor Graham? Cheziadex shouted.

"The appearance of this character is of great significance, because she is Catwoman first, and Selena second? Kyle. ”

Point to the pointed ears on the top of the computer screen. "My request was to make the shape of the cat's ears, but not to make a pair of cat ears." ”

Hear him say that, Graham? Cheziade pulled out a USB drive and put it on the computer screen, and Duke took the initiative to get out of his seat and stand in the back.

Graham? Cheziade was not polite, sat down in a chair, opened the USB drive, and clicked on a number of design drawings, all of which were concept drawings of Catwoman's equipment.

He flipped as he turned to Duke and Hannah in the back? "It's a backup version, inspired by night vision goggles, and made the kind that flips up to her head and looks like it's like a cat's ear." ”

After looking at it seriously, Duke nodded approvingly, "This one is more appropriate than the previous ones." ”

"I'll make another change." Graham? "As soon as the concept matures, the manufacturing team will be able to materialize it very beautifully, and then send it to you." ”

Duke added, "All the subtleties that exist in the portrait must be logically and absolutely reasonable." ”

In addition to the night vision goggles, the concept art also includes a costume design of Catwoman.

"I think her cat suit is also quite practical, allowing her to disappear into the darkness in an instant, ready to strike," Graham? Cheziade added, "Selena? Kyle is also always used to wearing black when she's not wearing cat clothes, ready to adjust herself for any occasion, and I think she has a typical chameleon-type personality. ”

That's true, in the script, Selena? Kyle is not a powerful superpower, but a thief who can escape from a scene at any time, and she is always ready to hide her entire identity, or multiple identities.

In this design, Selena? Kyle's catsuit is actually divided into two parts, except for an extra belt with a tight function, which looks like he is wearing a one-piece suit, and the whole catsuit also includes a pair of elbow gloves and high-heeled over-the-knee boots, both of which are secretly useful.

"Actually, they're all weapons."

Graham? Cheziade continued, "I envisioned that the cat's suit would require two layers of material, the outer layer of polyurethane-coated elastic spandex, printed with a hexagonal shading, and the overall streamlined shape completely outlines Catwoman's beautiful figure, but not too ostentatious. ”

In the ensuing discussion, Duke decides on Catwoman's initial look.

For the setting of Catwoman's glasses, the initial shape is a pair of sharp corners sticking out from the sides of the sunglasses, and when they rest on her head, they look like ears, and according to Duke's requirements, Catwoman's glasses should appear unexpectedly to the audience, and the effect of the glasses should be like a pair of shelves on Selena? The sunglasses on Kyle's face slowly slid towards the top of her head.

But the sample is done, Gail? After Gadot tried it on, Duke felt that the effect was not ideal.

There is a clear problem with such a design, and the glasses buckle in Gail? Gadot faces, it makes the character look stupid.

So, Graham? Cheziade reworked the design, using additional hinges on the frames to extend the sides of the bezel to her ears, while he also made a quick 3D animation to describe his concept, an idea Duke appreciated.

After being recognized by Duke, Graham? Cheziade began to work on a complete design, designing how it would interact with the exterior goggles, and once again produced a prototype, and by Gael? After Gadot tried it on, even Duke had to admit that he loved the idea so much that he refused to let the technicians modify and improve it.

Catwoman is more of a project that combines engineering and aesthetics, emphasizing the combination of external form and inner function more than other forms of design, something that has never been tried in the role of Catwoman.

Since the cat suit is like skin, tight from head to toe in Selena? Kyle's body, the actor really has nothing to hide, Gail? Gado has been working with an athletic trainer to make sure that his posture and athleticism allow him to fit comfortably in such a tight outfit.

If you want the audience around the world to see the tightly held figure on the big screen, and you want to be lazy and not go to the gym to exercise, how is that possible.

And, Selena? Kyle needs to ride a batbike in the film.

However, Duke does not have any special requirements for actors in this regard, although it is an arcade machine, it is not easy to control, and the driver needs to have enough strength and special skills to control the motorcycle freely.

During the filming of "The Dark Knight", there was actually only one person who could actually drive a bat motorcycle, and that was the professional stuntman Jean? Pierre? Goai.

He also accepted Duke's invitation again to continue as a driver of the Batmobile, and at the same time as Gail? Gadot and Christian? Bell's driving double.

Let? Pierre? Goai vs. Christian? Bell is of similar stature, as long as it's not a frontal close-up, and he doesn't even need post-adjustments, but he's the same as Gail? Gadot is far from it, but with today's computer special effects technology, replacing the person riding on the batbike in post-production is not too difficult and technical.

Digital technology has made the film more convenient, and Duke still uses digital technology from the filming to the production of the film.

Of course, 3D and IMAX are also essential. (To be continued.) )
