Normally, the scene under a high-speed camera lens is always amazing.

It is like a bullet piercing a wooden board, which may only be a brief moment in the eyes of a normal person, but under high-speed photography, there will be a picture of sawdust splashing, and the penetrated wooden board will ripple like water ripples.

This kind of picture will be very beautiful if it is well designed.

This is also the reason why high-speed photography lenses were used more and more in movies later.

However, sometimes high-speed photography alone is not enough, just like Charlotte and the problem they are facing now -

If it is a real fight, and the fists are fist-to-flesh, the footage captured by high-speed photography will naturally show the image of the muscles and skin of the place where the blow is being struck.

But the problem is, you can't really fight in the movie!

Especially in the action shots, if you really fight, how many people have been hit by a few punches in the vital parts?

- Unlike kung fu movies where you are fine for half a day, people in reality are often incapacitated in an instant when they are hit in vital parts.

So, from a safety point of view, it's unlikely that you will actually fight when you make a movie.

Even if the actors are willing to endure it, the actors' union will not agree.

In this way, how to deal with the blow becomes a problem for the muscle feedback on the body of the injured party.

- High-speed photography makes it impossible to hide the feints that were originally used to deceive the viewer's eyes.

Of course, relying on computer special effects technology for post-processing, in short, is not impossible to retouch, but in this way, the cost of several shots using high-speed photography will rise significantly.

So, after pulling the assistant director Lao Gun, cinematographer Addison Young and the action director to study for a while, Charlotte decided to adopt a workaround-

For normal action shots, the actual action is shot with a high-speed camera, but the prosthesis is used when it hits the impact feedback lens of the body.

- To put it simply, it is to ask the prop master to make some special mannequins for shooting the hitting feedback shot.

That is, let the actors fight dummies.

That's not a problem.

As early as the filming of "Guillotine Valley", Charlotte's subordinates gathered several prop masters who were very good at making mannequins.

The skulls they made are hard to distinguish between real and fake, and the severed heads in "Guillotine Valley" are all used in these models, and there is no sign of goofs at all.

Even, when Depp arrived at the crew for filming, the props team jokingly made him a model of his own head, which looked exactly the same, which scared Depp enough......

So, now it's not that difficult for them to make a mannequin of the actor who was hit.

In particular, considering the footage of the shooting, many times it is not necessary to shoot the whole body of the actor. This kind of local position model is much easier.

On the contrary, it is a problem with the material of the model, which requires them to experiment more.

After all, in order to look like it's actually hitting a human body, the model's feedback needs to be realistic.

Although silicone and other things are common fillers for the human body, after making a model, whether the striking effect is ideal or not still needs some research.

Fortunately, the workload this time is really not large-

After a few experiments, the props team determined the materials needed to make the model.

In fact, the material they chose was more exaggerated than the real human body, but the film is originally an art of deception and exaggeration, as long as the performance effect is good, in Charlotte's eyes, this is not a problem.

After deciding on the action design, Charlotte first shot several times with a high-speed camera and a regular camera to capture the desired effect.

After that, I specifically found out some of the clips that needed real muscle feedback from this shot, and asked the props team to make a special local prosthesis.

Finally, it's the part that specifically shoots the actor hitting the prosthesis -

"It feels weird!"

After hitting the muscle prosthesis a few times at Charlotte's request, Robert Downey Jr. couldn't help but complain,

"Does that really give you the desired results?"

"See for yourself!"

Charlotte beckoned to a few curious actors, including Donnie and Jude Law, and motioned for them to come over to the monitor to take a look.

This made a few people quite flattered.

No way, according to Hollywood's default habits, directors generally don't show the finished film to the actors.

This is mainly to avoid arguments –

After all, what if the director thinks that the shot is good, and the actor feels that he did not show his acting skills, or made himself ugly?

Normally, you should listen to the director. But the actors will inevitably have complaints in their hearts, which is not conducive to the work of the crew.

Therefore, until now, most directors will not show the filmed footage to the actors if they don't have to.

This is both to avoid disputes and at the same time a manifestation of the director's authority.

Of course, exceptions are not without -

If the actor is also a high-powered producer, and the whole movie is built around him, he will naturally be able to see the finished shots.

You can even point fingers at the director in front of the camera.

Essentially, it's really a question of who has more power in the crew.

Like Charlize when she was filming "The Devil Girl" before, she was also a producer, so she naturally intervened a lot in this movie she used to hit the Oscars.

And she's actually pretty good-

In the "Mission Impossible" series led by Tom Cruise, it was not once or twice that he finally squeezed the director out because of a disagreement with the director.

Even a well-known director like David Fincher can't suppress Tom Cruise, who holds the power of production......

In short, if it weren't forcible to, the directors wouldn't easily show their actors the finished film.

So, now Charlotte said that it would flatter a few people by letting Donnie and them look at the edited footage shot by high-speed photography.

- You must know that a great director of Charlotte's status can shoot whatever he wants, regardless of their doubts.

Now that the other party is willing to show them the finished film, it can naturally be said to be an extremely friendly performance.

Of course, they also understand that it's one thing for Charlotte to be willing to show them the footage that has been filmed, and it's another thing for them to be free to comment on it.

In particular, Charlotte's various clever performances during previous filming, as well as her methodical on-set scheduling ability, have already shocked several people.

Anyway, both Donnie and Jude Law made up their minds before watching it-

Be sure to say that the shooting is good!!

Even if you feel that the shooting is not good, it is also your own aesthetic problem, and you should improve yourself in the later shooting process, not say anything else......

Although this kind of thinking is suspicious of sycophants, but considering Charlotte's past strong record, Donnie doesn't think there's anything wrong with it.

After all, the thigh pendant of the cow man is not so easy to use......

However, when they really saw Charlotte's finished clips, several people couldn't help but be surprised-
