Chapter 316 High-end Shooting. Filming of this blasting shot in Paris is about to begin.

At this time, the busier ones are Zhong Dajun's photography team and the props team.

This shot could have been post-produced into CG special effects, but Luo Mo always felt that it was too unreal, and it was very troublesome, and some special effects were not easy to add, so he changed this action to live shooting. The consequence of shooting on location is that it is much more troublesome.

There are two reasons why this kind of blasting must not be carried out with traditional blasting such as gunpowder, the first is that the Paris ZF does not allow traditional blasting scenarios such as gunpowder to appear here, in order to prevent some damage to people or damage to the infrastructure of Paris. The second reason is that this is a dream space built by the hero, and if these explosions appear, the flames will be in the sky...... That's too lacking in technical content, it must be that this place is needed as if it was a thought, and then the entire world world disintegrated violently by itself, only this effect is most in line with Luo Mo's own imagination, and it is also the most in line with the setting of dream space.

But instead of traditional blasting, or CG special effects, you have to create a blast here, which is really a bit nerve-wracking.

Fortunately, after discussing with the photography team and the props team, and after working together, he finally found a way, that is, to replace these shattered things with rubber glass, fruits and other things that have little lethality, and then, hide the air pressure cannon powered by helium, and use the air pressure gun to launch these rubber glass, fruits, props, and other things that look like fragments of the world world at one time with the air pressure cannon, and after shooting through the unique angle of the camera, It can form a scene where fragments of the world are flying all over the sky.

And the premise of this is that you need to calculate the orbit of these things when they are sprayed, and you must not spray Luo Mo and Zhang Mengya, nor can you spray those extras nearby, so in this scene, someone needs to calculate the trajectory of those things when the helium pressure gun is sprayed at that time, so as not to fly around the world or hurt anyone, the crew is now in a state that can't afford to hurt, and they can't stand the toss.

Before, Luo Mo and Meng Yifan of the props team asked if their orbit was beautiful, and Meng Yifan told Luo Mo that they could use it after testing it the next day...... That's what I'm talking about this prop, and there's nothing wrong with it anyway.

At the same time, this scene not only has a certain technical content and difficulty in such a prop spray, but also has technical content and difficulty in shooting. The technical content and difficulty of shooting mainly came to Zhong Dajun's photography team.

Zhong Dajun is busy now, and it is precisely because of this matter.

"Test the angle again!" Zhong Dajun is now the leader of the photography team, but there are two photography guys on his side who can almost be said to be above him, they are from the United States, they are 3D live action consultants sent here by the team that created "Avatar", and the other is a 3D live action consultant and IMAX live shooting consultant and general shooting consultant...... Although the second one sounds like a long title, in fact, because he has studied a lot, he is not as specialized as the first one, and it seems that the first one is not as valuable as the first in the United States, but he is good at a lot of things, and it is also of great help to the crew.

"What a shame!" Several of Zhong Dajun's subordinates on the camera crew replied one after another, and Zhong Daju himself was also testing some things with the camera.

"Hey, Zhong, I think you need to talk to your lights." Billy, the consultant who had just been metering on the side, came over and said to Zhong Dajun: "You know, I don't know your language, but there are some things I can't help but say, now this effect can't be filmed, dear director Luo Mo told us, we need to shoot the true feeling of dreams!" ”

"Good thing, Billy, I know it." After Zhong Dajun heard this, he instructed his subordinates to say a few words, and then came over to communicate with the lighting team.

Zhong Dajun can understand English, and Luo Mo doesn't know how he learned it...... But this is also good news, at least so that Chung Dajun can communicate better with these Yankees, and then learn more things. For example, in the high-speed photography they are about to undertake, Zhong Dajun still has a lot to learn.

After another fifty minutes, the set was finally completed.

Luo Mo walked in front of the monitor at this time, and then asked Shen Dan on the walkie-talkie: "Shen Dan, how is the situation?" ”

"Senior, it's all right." Shen Dan glanced at it, confirmed it after the most reluctance, and then said to Luo Mo: "Well, it's all right." ”

"That'll do." Luo Mo thought for a while and told Shen Dan to say: "You go and keep an eye on those extras again, don't care if they are yellow-skinned or white-skinned, you must let them obey the command later, you are staring at the side, don't let them mess around, this kind of scene of labor and money, it is a lot of money to waste once......"

"Okay, senior, I'll go over there and keep an eye on them in a moment." Shen Dan quickly agreed.

Later, high-speed photography will be used for shooting, and the cost of high-speed photography will be much higher than ordinary shooting...... So every time you don't shoot right, it can have serious consequences. Besides, these helium pressure cannons emit things that are gone, although they can be picked up and reused at that time, but it takes a lot of time in the middle, if you can't go over again, do it again, then the time will be delayed, the money will be delayed, and it will even affect the filming plan of "Inception" in France It is not impossible.

Therefore, Luo Mo's guarantee is two, and it is best to strive for one.

After that, Shen Dan meticulously carried out Luo Mo's orders, and after talking to Luo Mo once, it can be said that Shen Dan didn't dare to have too many other thoughts now...... He is now in his fledgling, and many things must not be messed up...... But even if the wings are full...... He always vaguely felt that Luo Mo would not compromise anything on himself - no way, Luo Mo's movies were all independently invested and produced by himself, and he had nothing to threaten him at all.

When Shen Dan arrived here, he began to talk to the group performers again, not expecting them to understand what it meant to be in position, but at least to control them not to look indiscriminately and not interfere with the normal shooting of the camera, and at the same time he also stayed here to watch this group of guys.

So, now it's all in place.

Luo Mo looked at Zhang Mengya at this time and said, "Mengya, wait a while, you will have several medium-shot shots, so your facial expressions will be very clear...... You know what I mean, right? ”

"Well, I know!" Zhang Mengya nodded affirmatively.

Generally speaking, when a person's facial expression is close-up on the screen, it will be magnified and displayed on a large movie screen several floors high, and the audience will even be able to see the actor's pores. At this time, the actor's acting skills are also particularly tested, and now the camera is aimed at Zhang Mengya's upper body, but she also needs to show her spirit and treat such things well.

"Okay, let's get started." Luo Mo made an OK gesture over there, and then, the scene notes began to come out to announce the curtain, and the performance of the two people began.

At the beginning of the shot, Zhang Mengya needed to show the strangeness of the unbelievable words she said to Luo Mo, so she also needed to think about it. Some extras, when they receive a movie, even if there is only one line, in order to perform well and seize this opportunity, he can even spend half an hour or even an hour pondering this line...... However, Zhang Mengya has put a lot of effort into this scene now, and it didn't take too much time to let the first thing pass, and soon it will be a more important stage of high-speed photography.

"Where is this? ……”

"Don't panic, you're sleeping in our studio. Now for the first lesson of my dream sharing! As soon as Luo Mo's voice fell, this past, the next thing is the most complicated and important moment of high-speed photography and props flying.

When it comes to high-speed photography, many people may be a little unfamiliar with this term, but they are not unfamiliar with the effects that high-speed photography can produce. For example, we sometimes see footage of a particle ejecting through a plate or an apple, but it is slowed down many times so that we can clearly see the whole process of the bullet passing through the apple and then the apple bursting, a similar effect is called bullet time. And bullet time is a very simple use of high-speed photography.

The human eye's time resolution is only 1/24s, which means that we can see 24 sets of images in one second. On the other hand, we see 24 images in a second, which make up the action we see. But the movement is discontinuous. There are countless sets of static movements, for example, when we throw a stone, we may only see the stone flash in the sky, but in fact, in the process of the stone rising at high speed, there are more movement tracks left behind, trapped in the human eye's ability to distinguish. It's just invisible.

Therefore, the frequency of cinematography and projection is 24 frames/s, and 24 frames are flashed in one second, which can give us the feeling that the film is continuous, and the characters are moving all the time without pause. But there are many objects moving at high speeds, or transient phenomena, we can't see clearly.

And high-speed photography is to clearly present this kind of change that is not visible to the human eye. It's just a kind of shooting speed. A photographic method with a very short exposure time. The human eye can only "see" 24 frames per second, but a high-speed camera can see hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, or millions of frames in a second, and then expose them to the negative, process and decompress, and play them back at 24 frames per second, and so on. People can see this change clearly. Therefore, high-speed photography means higher costs, but also more complex photographic techniques.

Luo Mo filmed "Inception", and filmed this important special effect, I want everyone to see a kind of shattering effect of the world, and also be able to intuitively feel what kind of world people can do whatever they want in the dream space. And this kind of high-speed photography will show all this very clearly, and also allow everyone to feel more clearly the force of the collapse of this otherworld, and these shattered fragments will be transformed into 3D effects in the later stage, and even make people feel like they have flown into his eyes......

After the order was given, the helium pressure cannon began to work, and a lot of raw materials flew into the sky, one after the other, but it was only a split second, but on the high-speed camera, countless films were already left...... These films will later make up this special effect that will make everyone's heart flutter.

And this time it was very successful, after Luo Mo watched the replay, he patted Meng Yifan and Zhong Dajun on the shoulder, they did a good job! actually went through it all over again, this is an achievement that Luo Mo also felt a little suspenseful before.
