In the West, since the time of Shakespeare's plays, the easiest way to play a role without a head but with movement is to put a shoulder pad on the actor.

An oversized shoulder pad.

The actor will directly use this shoulder pad to cover his head, so that it is equivalent to having no head.

This method is simple and practical, and it has been tried and tested for a long time, and the current crew of "Guillotine Valley" has also adopted this method.

But if you want to talk about problems, it's not for nothing.

First of all, it will make the actor's upper body look particularly tall, after all, shoulder pads are equivalent to lengthening the upper body, so that when the actor's legs are not long enough, it will look very ugly.

Moreover, it is also easy to cause the actual height of the character to be the same when there is a head and a headless.

Although this problem can be confused and circumvented by many methods such as lenses, borrowing, or changing stand-ins, it is a hassle after all.

Secondly, it will make the actor's shoulder movements less flexible and not to mention the hindrance of the shoulder pads, what if the shoulder movements are too large and the shoulder pads are exposed?

This is not bad in traditional dramas, after all, the space is limited, and the range of action is generally small.

But when it comes to movies, especially movies with a lot of action scenes with actors, it's more troublesome.

The headless people filmed in this way, not to mention industry insiders, are some viewers with rich viewing experience, and they can find the incongruity under careful observation.

Of course, this incongruity is actually minimal. If the movie is of good quality, it doesn't make a difference.

But for Charlotte, who really knows magic and knows about ghosts, his favorite places are these places.

"Is there a way to fix this?"

Charlotte thought with a frown.

For him, who came from later generations, there was actually a ready-made method

That's green screen photography.

After the green screen technology matures, just have the actor wear a green hood that stretches from the head to the neck and perform in front of the green screen.

When it comes to post-production, the technician will directly use the cutout technique to directly pat off the actor's head. In this way, a headless man also appeared.

In fact, even now, in 1995, there is this technology.

At the recently concluded Oscars, Ken Rollston of the crew of "Forrest Gump" won the Best Visual Effects Award for similar technology

In this movie, Forrest Gump's friend, boss, and partner, Captain Dan, whose missing legs are his masterpieces.

Presumably, no one would think that Galicinis, who plays Captain Dan, would really saw off his legs for the sake of acting, right?

In the early and middle stages of the film, Captain Dan's appearance without legs can be covered with something, but at Forrest Gump's wedding in the later stage, the appearance of changing into a prosthetic leg must rely on special effects technology.

Charlotte, however, doesn't plan to go to Kenrolston for help.

You know, now in 1995, if you can complete this special effect, you can win the Orcas Award.

Although the technical awards of the Oscars are far less valuable than the acting awards, they are also Oscars after all!

What does this mean?

Means one word

Expensive!

That alone was already putting Charlotte off.

What's more, in the previous plan of the crew of "Guillotine Valley", there was no such budget at all. Now it feels like there's something wrong here, and it's all the result of Charlotte's sudden tangle attack.

Charlotte is not Cameron's god, and she has no interest in forcing the prop team to remake a large number of props because of the tangle.

That means a huge overspending budget!

It means money!!

It's not everyone who can be a little money-burning expert.

It's a god like Cameron, who nervously prepared the blade for cutting his throat before the release of "Titanic".

Although this is a bit exaggerated, if Ofune's box office fails, his fate is really not much better.

At least it is absolute that he has been blacklisted by major Hollywood studios since then.

Because "The Wind Whisperer" killed MGM's white pigeon, isn't this the treatment?

That one is only jointly and severally responsible, and the money burned is far less than Cameron.

If the big ship fails at the box office and Fox is really ruined, among those crazy shareholders, maybe someone will do something to tie a cement pillar and sink into the sea......

Charlotte didn't want to put so much pressure on herself.

In particular, he has spells at his disposal.

"yes! I can render it with spells!"

Charlotte suddenly patted her head and thought of a way,

"Christopher, Annika, and Rob, you wait a minute, I'll go get something. Ah, no, it's for some technical support!"

So saying, he ran out like a gust of wind.

Annika was speechless for a moment.

Because of the assistant director Lao Gun, she was directly appointed by Charlotte as the makeup team director of the "Guillotine Valley" project.

Charlotte, who doubles as a producer, has this power.

And considering that "Guillotine Valley" is a costume film, the trouble is the work of the set and costumes, and the makeup is not very difficult.

The other two producers, Jodie Foster and Andrew Kevin Walker, also acquiesced in the appointment.

After all, Annika has been in this industry for many years, and the basic level is still there.

For that, Annika is a little grateful to Charlotte.

But think about this guy who always likes a little inspiration, so he came to his partner early in the morning to study the old gun, and that little gratitude quickly disappeared again.

Too bad!

It's so much of an impact on life!!

In particular, Lao Gun and Anika, who have moved in together, prefer to go to bed early and wake up early and "exercise" in the morning because of their relative age......

Fortunately, Charlotte doesn't appear often in the morning, otherwise Annika would have refused to come to the door a long time ago.

Of course, the perception of the director does not affect Anika's work attitude.

In this regard, she is still very professional.

However, seeing the director's requirements for the image design of the Headless Horseman, Annika instinctively felt bad.

This reminded her of the problems Charlotte created for her in the makeup design of mutant weirdos during the filming of "Fatal Bend".

Sure enough, her hunch came true.

The makeup team's image design of the Headless Horseman was actually very successful, and everyone in the crew, except for Charlotte, even the actor Christopher Walken had no opinion.

However, the director who put forward the image design requirements at the beginning changed his mind at the last moment.

Seeing Charlotte looking left and right there and always saying that something was wrong, Annika had the urge to give him the "finishing touch" with a makeup pen for a moment.

And when Charlotte said that she had thought of a way, and then ran out without saying anything clearly, the bad feeling in Annika's heart was even more obvious

Let's hope he doesn't make anything weird!

And then

"This is a black stocking, right?"

After studying the things Charlotte brought back for a long time, Annika asked with a puzzled face.
