As the soul of the entire crew, Duke's use of IMAX cameras will be more frequent and in-depth than the previous "The Dark Knight", and "The Dark Knight Rises" will also be the film that uses the most IMAX lenses in film history, and the number is estimated to reach 50% of the entire film.

For this purpose, IMAX provided Duke with four units of the Marty ? The heavy cameras designed and built by Müller are hand-made, each with a different personality, but they are basically the same and all the parts are interchangeable.

Each IMAX camera comes with its own prime lenses, available in 40mm, 50mm, 80, and several types, many of which are fitted with a T2.8 aperture with a 65mm adapter ring and a mid-format Hasselblad camera lens, so the focus of the camera lens is not easily affected.

The focusing of IMAX cameras is quite a problem, and in the past, there have been some shots, John? Schwarzman couldn't focus manually, and needed to use a remote focus equipped with a torque motor to operate it all the time.

During the preparation period, Duke made some requests for the use of IMAX cameras based on previous technical experience, and asked IMAX engineers to improve some of the lenses and build a new viewfinder.

Duke wanted IMAX to modify an 80mm Mamiya lens with a T2 aperture and a 50mm medium format camera lens with a T2.5 aperture specifically for The Dark Knight Rise.

IMAX engineers discarded the IMAX mechanical parts of the 80mm lens and replaced it with a cinematic-sized Panavison converter, and they also reworked the entire head of the lens to fit a mechanical diaphragm device, as requested by Duke.

The 50mm, T2.5 aperture lens modification is different, with the people at IMAX fitting most of the lens into a new barrel to transform it into a more stable lens converter.

In addition to this, they also built a custom lens with a 50mm and T2 aperture based on the construction principle of a reverse telephoto lens.

These are the basis of shooting. Without good enough equipment, no matter how good the idea is, it can only exist in the director's head and on paper.

In the whole preliminary preparation, although Duke may not be deeply involved in every work, the final result of any work must be reviewed by him as the director.

The Dark Knight Rises requires a lot of location scenes. In addition to setting up at Warner Studios and Hughes Aircraft Factory, Duke is also looking at suitable locations, and since the project was established, not only the original Chicago has been trying to get the crew to continue filming, but also New York, Pittsburgh and Detroit have sent invitations to Duke.

Him and Charles? Rowan also went around these cities. It was tentatively determined that the film was mainly shot from New York and Chicago.

In addition, as time went on, many of the studio setups in Warner Studios came to an end.

Wayne Manor, also known as the original Batcave, was burned down by Master Ninja in Batman: Time to Go to War, so Bruce? Wayne had to temporarily move his base camp to the Bat Barn.

In this one, Duke will rebuild Wayne Manor, including the Bat Cave, of course.

The Batcave still chose the huge studio of the Hughes Aircraft Factory, and continued to follow the idea of the 'flooded Batcave', where everything was hidden underwater. Anyone who first enters the Batcave will only see a normal Batcave, but once you find the key buttons, you'll find perfectly rendered blocks loaded with all kinds of equipment, from batsuits to ultra-advanced computers.

With a huge water tank in the Hughes Aircraft Factory's studio, which can hold more than 720,000 gallons of water, it was easy to meet Duke's requirements for the Batcave.

The sewage system that runs all over Gotham City's underground is Bane's base of operations in the film. Another hangar at Hughes Aircraft Factory was the site for the scene, and since it was an airship hangar in itself, the cavernous appearance provided the crew with natural conditions to build tunnels to concrete and corrugated steel structures. Up to several floors.

To illuminate the scene, Duke planned to shoot with super-oversensitive lighting to turn the place into an arena-like place.

In this way, those super-bright dot lights will illuminate a white effect, creating an upsetting, uncomfortable environment.

The set of Hughes's hangar also provided a platform for a more complex, spectacular, multi-layered scenario – a creepy underground prison.

with hiding underground. Bane's lair was completely different, this prison was like a pile of stone cages that appeared in the endless abyss, a labyrinth of places, with barred cage doors that were not locked, because there was no fear of prisoners escaping, and the only way out was a super high column that could not be climbed at all, leading to the ground.

To build the scene, the crew made two columns in the hangar, the taller one was nearly 250 feet high, and the prison ground exterior Duke was going to shoot in the northwestern Indian city of Jodhpur. Fei has visited in the past and brought video footage from the film, where the treacherous landscape can add to the desolation of the film's plot.

In stark contrast to these remote areas is the grand façade of Wayne Manor, where Duke chose the city of Nottingham, England, before he gave Erin a new place. Lauder made a call and would continue to use her cousin's old villa for filming.

The interior of the manor was set at Warner Studios, although Bruce? Wayne fulfilled his promise and restored the original appearance of Wayne Manor, brick by brick, but the interior of the house was monotonous and boring, and it didn't look like a home for people, but just a house.

In the first two parts of the trilogy, Chicago was used as the background of Gotham City, and the two Batmans also made the declining industrial city more visible, especially for tourism, and even the Batman Gotham Parade has become a routine program in the city of Chicago.

In order to win Duke's crew, Pittsburgh also offered extremely generous conditions for the crew, not only huge tax incentives, but also unlimited cooperation with the crew to close the street for filming, these real discounts also impressed Duke, and finally three cities were selected as Gotham City's 'stand-ins', namely Pittsburgh, Chicago and New York.

In Anna? In the storyboard drawn up by Prinz, more than two cityscapes begin to appear in the background of the plot development, starting in one city, unconsciously. Change to another city to end.

In order to be seamless and coherent, the crew will be in different cities, different seasons. Shot at different times.

In this way, in order to connect with daylight and present the same light, the film crew had to spend a certain amount of time and planning, and only then did it ensure that the horse's feet were not exposed.

John? Schwartzman did a lot of deployment work with Duke and the on-site managers. In order to be able to accurately grasp the time period of filming and the specific street location, it provides a guarantee for future post-production.

Also, Charles? Rowan ended another negotiation and finalized the film's soundtrack team.

This time the soundtrack is still composed by Hans? Zimmer and his team wrote the soundtrack, and the 'Dark Knight' trilogy soundtrack.

After the signing of the contract, as a master of commercial scoring, Hans? Zimmer knows how to cooperate with propaganda and specially accepted an interview with the media.

"For the soundtrack of the Batman trilogy, can you talk to Duke? It is an incomparable enjoyment and joy to work with such a talented and great director as Rosenberg. It is also a great honor for me. He is the kind of wise director who is willing to listen to others and welcomes all kinds of observations. ”

Charles as a producer? Rowan added, "We all want to be shocked and surprised, but we also want to have a strong resonance with the audience. No matter how grand the production scene is, Duke's main concern is the story itself and the inextricable causal relationship between the trilogy. As long as you know his previous two films, everyone can appreciate his good intentions. ”

At the same time, an important prop in the film. Batman's new ride is also made.

Technology is advancing rapidly, and Batman, a hero who eats by plug-ins, must of course keep pace with the times, and his car has evolved from the "tank" of "Time to War" to the dual-drive motorcycle of "The Dark Knight", in "The Dark Knight Rises". The old model of the Batmobile can no longer attract the attention of the audience, so the Batfighter came into being.

Following Duke's concept of "model effects", the crew created a model of this high-tech vehicle at 1:1 scale, filmed through the streets, and added the necessary computer modifications. to present the thrilling chase in the film.

Of course, compared to "Transformers", the film's near-realistic style does not allow Duke to play the vehicles so exaggerated and fancy, but the performance of the Batfighter in the setting should not be underestimated, it can have super-first-class low-altitude flight capabilities like the Harrier fighter, whether it is a speeding car chase close to the ground, or a high-speed climbing aerial dogfight, it can be easily competent.

In his busy schedule, Duke is also concerned about the situation of "Super Battleship", a film adaptation between Sky Studios and Walt Disney, which has not been as popular as other Hasbro toy movies.

The film cost $210 million to produce alone, sold only $25 million in its first week of release in North America in early July, and was forced to go offline by theaters after only 11 weeks of release, earning less than $60 million in North America, and the global box office has not yet exceeded $200 million.

The film sold the best toys, but the success of "Transformers" has given Hasbro enough confidence that Sky Movie Studios and Walt Disney can only share a very small share of toy sales, and they are destined to not be able to recover the huge investment.

At the end of August, Dawn? Johnson officially joined the crew, but Duke was not very happy with his size. (To be continued.) )
