In Hollywood-style hero movies, the big action scenes no longer only have the iconic meaning of commercial blockbusters, but also have the special function of upgrading the experience of violent aesthetics, panoramic scene descriptions and exquisite action portrayals, plus the texture of IMAX pictures, and the full immersion viewing experience, are the inevitable pursuit of Duke when shooting and producing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo.。

In order to pursue a realistic viewing experience, Duke did not leave all the big scenes to post-production special effects, and many action scenes were also shot realistically.

Except for special effects scenes, Duke generally doesn't storyboard each scene himself, and in those action effects scenes, each storyboard is storyboarded and prevised.

In terms of special effects, Duke has never rejected CGI computer technology, let alone the concept that the so-called physical realization can surpass everything, but he also knows that it is always good to shoot as many live action materials as possible, even if CG technology is used to compose and improve in later production, better results can be achieved.

Back in Los Angeles, Duke led the crew to Lauder Field for the Raiders and assembled nearly 20,000 fans as extras, which required a large number of actors, a whole team of stunt doubles and on-site demolition teams.

Filmed here is a scene in an American football stadium where the Gotham Rogue Gang is playing, and Bane sets off bombs all over Gotham City, several of which are planted under the pitch, and when the gunpowder is detonated, the stadium and many players are swept into a huge hollow.

Naturally, the IMAX camera was used for filming, but the scale of the explosion was extremely limited, and the stadium would not collapse, and all the explosion effects basically relied on post-compositing, and the visual effects artists of Industrial Light & Magic also used CG to create the foreground elements on the fallen stadium, and when Duke finished shooting, it would enhance Jos? William's pyrotechnic effects increased the terrified audience from nearly 20,000 to over 80,000.

While Duke was busy filming, Warner Bros. did not relax its promotion of "The Dark Knight Rises". ┞╪═┝═╞.《。

"Harvey? Dent may have died in The Dark Knight, but not like the Joker. His name will continue to appear in The Dark Knight Rises......"

There is also news about "The Dark Knight Rises" circulating on the Internet and in the media.

Fans who have been paying attention to the Internet soon appeared on the official website of "The Dark Knight Rises" and other popular websites - a copy of Gotham City Mayor Anthony? Garciab's press release.

"This morning, Mayor Anthony? Garcia signs the 'Operation Dante' bill. The City Council unanimously passed legislation to improve the city's fight against organized crime. One of the main objectives of the creation of this operation is to punish crime more severely, including the denial of parole to criminals who play an important role in a part of large criminal groups, which will fill the loopholes in previously created laws so that cities do not have to be plagued by organized crime as before. ”

There is also a passage in the back of Gotham City Mayor Anthony? Garcia's speech.

"Harvey? The name Dent is a hero in the truest sense of the word. He bravely confronted the streets ruled by the Empire of Crime and saved our city, and we should remember his sacrifice. ”

"Fifteen minutes ago, I signed a bill, called Operation Dante Act, to allow us to make up for Harvey? Dent's departure. This legislation is empowered by Police Chief Jim ? Gordon, as a means of finally combating the crime and ** phenomenon that is still active in our city. ”

"My answer to the claims that this bill creates a police nation is very simple. Before Operation Dante's bill, our city was so desperate that we had to put our trust in a masked vigilante who ended up murdering someone who belonged to Gotham City's true hope. Luckily. Hopefully, this motion is Harvey? Dante's legacy, I want to protect it". ╪┠┢┠.＜。

There was another piece of news that came out of it.

"At the request of the mayor, the City Council will introduce another bill to decide to bring Harvey? The day of Dante's death is an official city public holiday, called 'Harvey?' Dante Day'. ”

There is no doubt that this is Warner Bros. viral marketing.

With fans watching, Duke returned to the studio and began filming some of the more difficult action scenes, such as the Batfighter, in front of the reconstructed green screen.

All Batfighter footage is shot in front of a green screen. It is then composited into the footage of the real shot by CGI.

The footage of the Batfighter can be mainly divided into two parts: ground and high-altitude.

The fighter was mounted by Duke on a locomotive equipped with a gimbal head while filming ground action shots; For high-altitude stunts, several heavy booms are used to shoot in the air.

In order to fully capture every action of the Batfighter's high dynamic range on the shooting site, Duke also asked ILM to develop a panoramic stunt photography system. The system uses four DSLR cameras equipped with 8mm lenses to create the effect of overlapping fields of view, and the resulting panoramic images can be collaged and assembled using digital technology.

Follow Duke vs. John? Schwartzman's Cooperative Practice, John? Schwartzman is supposed to be the only main camera crew in the film, but in many scenes, the auxiliary and Steadicam operators Ben? Scott also played an important role in the filming of these scenes. The usage rate of auxiliary materials is very high.

In addition to the complex shooting, Duke also decided to place more scenes in the film during the day, unlike "The Dark Knight", which is almost entirely set in the night.

In Duke's plan, the nighttime location scenes in Gotham City were mainly filmed in New York and Pittsburgh. Schwartzman took many photos at Duke's required exposure, then wrote notes on each photo and sent them to the lighting artists of the equipment that the crew had equipped for each city.

Fixture gaffers can use spectral tables to ensure that the backdrop that needs to be lit is in place when they return to location.

In this way, when Duke led the crew to the filming site, the background lighting was already arranged, and there was more time to spend on shooting.

In December, the time is slowly approaching, and the release of the film is getting closer and closer, in addition to the busy shooting, Duke also began to cooperate with Warner Bros. publicity work, and an interview about him appeared in the new issue of "Entertainment Weekly".

"The Dark Knight Rises is being filmed, and director Duke? Rosenberg also talked about his feelings about the end of the Batman trilogy and the behind-the-scenes content about the choice of the villain Bane in an interview after filming. ”

"Speaking of his last Batman movie, Duke? Rosenberg said: 'I try not to be as emotional as possible on set. Because it's not good for you to do your job well. But you do hear a small voice saying to yourself — well, this is the last time we're going to shoot this. ”

"The whole process is like a journey, and when a character says goodbye to them after filming, it really makes people feel a lot of emotion, and Marvel will say to them: goodbye, old butler Alfred; Goodbye, Chief of Police Jim? Gordon...... It meant so much to me, a very touching moment. ”

"When the reporter asked Duke, in the Hiss? After Ledger played such a great villain, the Joker, how did he come up with the idea of setting Bane the Destroyer as the villain of this film? Duke replied: "Originally, I didn't know much about the character of Bane, and the editorial team of Duke Studios gave me a bunch of Bane materials, and we studied him together, and I wasn't very familiar with the story behind him, but this is a very cool character." ”

"For the character of Bane, Tada's body is the characteristic, and you have to have an archetype to create a 'good' villain, you know, you need a certain type of villain to be extreme. The Joker is clearly a very unique archetype: demonic, anarchic, with an evil sense of humor; I wanted to present Bane in a completely different genre in the movie, Bane is a muscular villain first, and in a way he's the screen monster of the classic movies - but with a very smart brain, and I think the audience will be very happy to see how we portray Bane. ”

"Can you find Dawn? When an actor like Johnson plays Bane, you know you're going to see something special. Like any great actor, Dawn is the kind of performer who can incorporate the qualities of the character into every move, smile and smile of the performance, and he is a very, very physical actor. ”

"Every moment Dawn will transform himself into the character, he not only dares to get close to the character from the external image, but also dares to go deep into the character's heart; not only has a deep grasp of the psychology of the characters, but also has a very, very clear awareness of how to use the body and expressions to convey the role, of course, Bell is also such a very emotional actor. ”

"When it comes to the end of the film, Duke? Rosenberg added: "At the end of The Dark Knight, Batman and Police Chief Jim? Gordon made significant sacrifices and compromises. By the end of this episode, that sacrifice is bound to have a value, Gotham City should be better in a sense, and at the end of the film they have to accomplish something — so I want the end of the film to feel right. ”

Not only in North America, but in other important markets, Warner Bros. is promoting The Dark Knight Rises.

Duke's last film, "The Avengers," did not receive the key to the postponement in the Chinese market, but it also won 1.8 billion at the box office in a month of screening, which further increased the weight of the Chinese market in the minds of Hollywood companies.

Limited by the regulations of Big Scissors, Warner Greater China could not make too much advance publicity, but still formulated some targeted strategies.
